Re: How to locate errors when changing language

The errors are in the IDE. Not sure if they are in the runtime of
not...havent got that far.

Yes you are correct the errors are related to the font size. I looked at
the form via notepad and the erroring lines are like this...

BeginProperty Font
Name = "Arial"
Size = 8.25 <========= error line number
Charset = 0
Weight = 400
Underline = 0 'False
Italic = 0 'False
Strikethrough = 0 'False
EndProperty

Its the 8.25 causing the error when I set the language to Dutch
Netherlands. If I change it to 8...then no error.

What is the best way to fix these errors? Edit every form and try to find
all the odd sizes and change to even sizes? That sounds messy, but will
work. I am afraid I will miss one. I already found a case where the size
was 9.75, change it to 10..fixed that one.

Also weird is the error seems to show only once on initial load of some
forms...then might not show again on second load.

What is the best way to handle all these font size problems?

Thanks for the help!
