code – however, my dfm is text, sorry I did not

all 12,000+ lines but nothing obvious. I believe
the cause of the form-loading error is more subtle
than a detectable error in the dfm text, as the
program compiles and displays the form. What
puzzles me is that I have reverted to versions
from the _history folder which were previously
working correctly, and still get the error. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
