filemakerpro.exe error

[qwippo]

I could not find a better place to post this so I hope this is ok.

Whenever I enter a field in any of my databases and double-click to select the contents, I run the risk of the screen appearing to shift a few millimeters down and to the right, black borders appearing top and bottom and getting Microsoft's standard error message referencing "filemakerpro.exe" encountering difficulties.

FileMaker closes and scans for unused blocks when I reopen it. Usually nothing but time is lost but this is extremely aggravating - anyone know what gives?

Versions?

If you create new FM file do you get the same problem. If so, I'd reinstall FM. Otherwise, sounds like a damaged file. You'll need to work from a good backup and import data from a restored file.

yep - happens with every file (new or old) so I guess I'll try your suggestion if I can only find my darn disk (I did keep the install code)
