Error processing use list module: (Globals)

Recently began upgrading clients to 6.5.4 from 6.5.3 & 6.5.1. Once upgraded to 6.5.4, users are receiving error message 'Error processing use list module: (Globals).

The form in question uses a computed subform formula to add a specific subform (1 of 2 different subforms) containing different sets of buttons depending on the status of the document. Neither subform’s button sets will operate correctly in the 6.5.4 client. The buttons operate normally in 6.5.1 & 6.5.3 as well as beta 7.0, but not in 6.5.4. I checked on 6.5.3, upgrade to 6.5.4, get the error, I have a 6.5.4 client, get the errors, downgrade back to 6.5.3 and the problem goes away.

I’ve saved the form and the two subforms with the 6.5.4 designer client, still doesn’t solve the problem. Neither subform/buttons sets have a Use statement in any of the code referring to a script library. All button code is contained in the subform itself.

Buttons directly on the form design work correctly, only buttons on the subforms fail and return subject error.

Servers are 6.5.3FP1

Any ideas of what to try next? I’ll be calling this in to IBM shortly, but thought I’d try to forum first to see if anyone else has come across this. Searching the forum doesn’t return any results on target with the situation I’m having.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I’d try commenting out all of the button’s code so that there’s no executable LS anywhere, and see if that works properly.

From there you may be able to uncomment and isolate the problematic code. I ran into a fun script-related issue a week ago where, in a rushed find-and-replace effort, I applied a Cstr() function to a constant, e.g.:

Const THE_NUMBER% = 2

Print "Here it is: " + Cstr(THE_NUMBER%)

I thought at the time that might be a little odd but the code compiled so I figured I’d give it a whirl. It caused all sorts of problems when run in a client… a runtime “General LS Error” message, other crazy errors, and then it eventually hid the design of the library!

Also, someone else reported a 6.5.4 Designer crash last week with subforms. Do a search for “subform and workaround” to find it. If I recall it doesn’t address your issue directly but may give you a lead.
