Josh,
I am loading one project via the acad2000.lsp, there are no embedded projects.
I have printed out the dvb that I load and started going though it line by line
looking for something that could disrupt loading but cause an error that the
debugger would catch. The code is about 40 pages, so will take some time.
Computer is 850 mHz HP with 192 mb. running windows 2000ME. Not sure about it
returning control after wait. Have not noticed any other programs having the
problem, but have had acad freeze up before at what seems to be random
commands, but cannot recall it freezing up during attedit. Do not print from
this computer, saving all drawings to R14 and plotting them from another
computer on network.
