Create a simple non-data bound form with edit line

put \simplesearch\data\document for the default text …

Below in the form designer it says

PSTV 08:invalid value "\simplesearch\data\resumes" passed to the iconv method in PS_TYPEINFO_TYPEVALUES procedure.

I would expect that any data would be usable in the default … there is no processing done other than what is default to the form process. If this is run the form posts and error "Error loading program" and the program freezes …

It just comes to me that it might need to be entered with quotes. I used the 'entry prompt' and would expect it to put any necessary quotes there. Worst case the window/system should protect itself from freezing. I will try the quotes

Hi Dave,

Even in previous versions of OI literal values needed to be put in quotes (by you), though I agree that a failure should be handled better if you don't (it assumes what you've passed is a function name if you don't specify a literal value and it's not a recognized token)

For the next version I'll tighten up the validation and make it more user-friendly.

Thanks

yeah .. it is sad that you have to spend time protecting the code from users like me :smile:

Thanks
