file crashing on accessing a layout

[efen]

In a single file solution [FMP 6] I have an unused layout (that only has a few graphics/buttons, etc on it) which I want to delete.

However, when this layout is accessed in any mode filemaker crashes with the error message - Filemaker caused an invalid page fault in module FMCOR10.DLL at 0167:1000acle [on Windows 98SE]

The file also crashes on Win 2000 and XP

Can anyone give me any clues as to how to access and delete this layout.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks for these links.

I have now managed to delete the layout. The file would then only open with Recover -- the buttons and some containers have disappeared.

This is a minor problem as there are relatively few.

Thanks again
