I installed, for evaluation purposes, Personal VDS 4 on a computer with Windows XP SP2. Now, if the key F2 is pressed with the cursor in the script area (no matter if empty or not), the dialog designer isn't launched. However, in the task manager, there is a process 'dialog designer.exe' which requires 50 % of CPU performance.
What is wrong?
Thanks for any help!

hi and welcome to our little corner of the world Smile

off the top of my head, F2 will work if you have the code for the interface in your script and if you first select/highlight DIALOG in the line DIALOG CREATE ... this is because it will highlight (and work with) all the code between DIALOG CREATE and DIALOG SHOW ... this raises the other issue of not having blank lines in your interface code as it can't cope with that

i have never tried F2 any other way and i know that it works using the method above

Hi Serge,

I have solved this problem by (temporarily) changing the regional options from 'German (Switzerland)' to 'English (Great Britain)'. Obviously, VDS works properly with English regional settings only.

Thanks for your help!
