Error trying to create dialog

Post by jpalic » Thu Oct 16, 2008 7:03 pm

Every once in a while, one of our compiled scripts gives a "Error trying to create dialog" error.

I've not been able to discern what might be causing this. Are there any general hints as to what might generate this sort of occasional error?

TIA,

Jim Palic

The most likely cause (and the only one I can think of) is that your script is trying to create a dialog that has already been created. If you repeat your Dialog definition, or include it in a loop you will get this problem as you will be trying to create something that already exists. You should only ever create a dialog ONCE.
