Hi Forum,

I have a problem with the IDE, maybe with the the project file
(zipped,
see http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_sludwi/lazarus.zip , it is the beginning
of
a program for German mass servants). I checked the Forums and FAQ but
did not find any help. Maybe I was too stupid, but I am sure I am not,
of course :-)

If I open this project in the IDE, form1 does not show up. This
happened
after Lazarus (windows v0.9.21 beta, compiled binary from 2006-12-21)
had crashed crashed. Unfortunately, I do not remember the error
message
any more.

Since that moment, I was still able to open the project file, but the
visual form would not show up. Opening the corresponding main.pas file
in the editor and switching to the form or opening the form itself
from
the form-List, results in the main.dfm file being opended in the
editor,
but not the visual form itself.

With the 2006-12-27 compiled binary, opening the project file only
results in a greyed source editor and no file opened. But I can still
compile and run the program.

This happended twice up to now. The first time this has been just
after
I had done a backup. But the second time it happend very much after a
backup :-(

Do you have any idear how to fix the file? I do not want to redo all
the
work.

Thanks in advance for your help
Yours,
Stephan

Hi,

This has happened to me too. I am using the latest svn version of
0.9.21 beta. I can't get to my form in the form editor at all - only
the text sources of the .lfm file. I didn't do any backups or
anything, I created the form, saved, exited Lazarus, and when I
restarted Lazarus the form didn't want to open. I am trying to
reproduce it with another project....
