It's been reported to Informix and has been accepted as an official bug. The problem is that the window take more GDI memory than it used to do in NewEra 2.2 and it doesn't give it back. If you close and open the window again it takes more GDI memory (which is only 64K). After opening 6 or 7 windows the font get larger, the picturebuttons become white and then raises a fatal exception. Greetings, Rene Doempke and Mark Stuurman Distel Software BV
