Dan,
sorry to hear you have wasted 400 hours of what should be possible to do
within minutes.

However, I would be surprised if IBO didn't work as advertised - at least
in this list it is more often than not an error on the part of the users
(us) that is the source of the error.

Generally, when believing to have found an error what you should do is to
create a simple reproducible case (i.e. with as few tables and forms as
possible) and send the code directly to Jason (or occationally Geoff). Then
Jason will either see the error and correct it or correct you if it is an
error on your behalf. I think there have also been one or two errors that
have simply baffled everybody and gone unsolved for some time (I seem to
remember something about the wrong icon showing up at strange places), but
I don't think that will apply to your case. Remember to state the version
you use for everything, as some errors only show under special circumstances.

Hopefully this will be resolved pretty quickly,
