Mark,

Attached is a file from the crash dump of a recent illegal error.  I am
using ECSW (file date of early June) Here's what happened:

I had a number item defined and set in an event to add one each time a
particular thing was true.  I tried to manually change the number (value)
from that group editor window.  The first time I tried I got an access
violation error.  Later (forgetting about that error) I tried again and this
time I got the illegal error.  I could NOT get ECSW to crash again by
replicating my steps.

Which brings me to another question.  Occasionally I will crash ECSW but
cannot replicate whatever made it crash.  In general, unless it happens more
than once or I see that somebody else has had the problem I chalk those up
to the inevitable quirks of Windows.  Assuming that I have a crash that is
NOT replicatable do you still want to see the dumps from that crash?
