I am trying to edit one of my OvationPro files on SA RiscPC 4.39. Using
latest version of OvPro (6-Nov-08).
Every time I attempt to type I get a type=5 error.
If I save it as a DDL file it refuses to reload giving the error:
Object already created @ 7436
I'm in a bit of a pickle because I want to use the modified file for a
test I'm giving tomorrow...
Zipped file is 131KB if anyone wants to look at it.

I'd be interested to look - send it by private email, not to the list.

Obviously it's a bad situation, my general advice is that you can clean up documents by saving as DDL and then reloading the DDL, something you could do occasionally, and not just when things go wrong.

Second don't propagate documents, i.e. creating a new document by editing an old one. The problem with this is that if you keep using old documents damage done by bugs long fixed keeps appearing.
