[Dxbase] crash bug in DXB2007

Wed Mar 7 21:35:59 EST 2007

I am running DxBase2006 in XP. I did the following. Opened find, opened prev Q, closed prev Q, closed find. When I closed find, DxBase exited/crashed/disappeared. Not something I am likely to do in the future (doctor, it hurts when I do this...Doctor: don't do that), but it isn't limited to XP Pro or 2007.
