so im getting an access violation now whenever i click my button that opens my damage tracking script, the script has been working fine all week until i tried adding some stuff to it today, i got a toggle button that start/opens the window and stops/closes the window, but if i forget to click the button to off before i disconnect, when i reconnect it pops up blank, so i decided to play with the OnConnect and OnDisconnect events to try to close it, it didnt work out, so i deleted it, i tried it like this i put a variable in my button to = 1 when i click to open it and set the event with #IF (variable = 0) {#CLOSE Damage}, i couldnt get it to work correctly and i was tired of fooling with it and ready to play so i decided to just delete it and try again later, i removed everything i had just added and saved, now when i click the button to open/close the window it still works but gives me an access violation, i thought it might be a corrupt layout so i tried the shift click trick when loading, and it worked for a while, after several test button clicks everything was back to normal, until 20m or so later it started giving the access violation but i didnt change anything that i could remember, so that kinda lost me, but my layout is now diffrent also and i wonder if maybe that isnt the problem..

here is a screen shot before the violation:

and here is one after i started getting them and reset my layout with shift click:

notice how the status bar doesnt extend into the window to the right any more? could that have something to do with it? im totally lost, any ideas?
dont know if i should post the whole script or not, lot of variables etc but i will post what i think are the relevant parts:

Try resetting the toolbars. I know the equivalent of that is to delete the various .tbz files (though you shouldn't need to anymore), and I know there's a reset option in the Package Editor, but I forget if there's a way on the main menu to do the same.

Toolbars suck. They don't break hard enough to see that obviously something about them broke, but when the break they interfere with all kinds of random stuff. For me, when they broke all they did was cause any use of the %pick() function to throw an access violation. Nothing else was at all affected.

Nope, i couldnt get this to work either, i just renamed my tbz file, and let it create a new one on its own, that didnt work, so i tried replacing it with some older backups, that didnt work either

It has to be something corrupted in either your Layout or your package file. I just tried your above XML script in a fresh session using v3.10 and it worked fine.

To reset your entire layout, hold down the SHIFT key and click the Open Offline action for your session. This is the recommended way to reset both the XLY window layout and the TBZ toolbar layout. Since you are using a #MAKEWINDOW command in your button, it might be a problem with the window layout file rather than the toolbar layout.

If this still doesn't help, then all I can suggest is exporting your entire session to an XML file, then create a new package and import the XML back into the clean package.
