oldeast Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 19, 2026 #1 Hi everyone, I have a compiled B4J program that I distribute to eight users. I am distributing it with Java 11. It has been running fine on Windows 11 for all users except one. In this instance the program shows a main form startup toast message OK, but the main form won't display. I have installed the program on my computer and opened the user's data file with no problem. I have the user's laptop and have downloaded and installed all Windows 11 updates and have done a net framework repair. Any suggestions as to where to check further would be appreciated. Thanks Graham

Solution oldeast Jul 20, 2026 Just checked, I already have that coded. I rather suspect Windows is missing something on this laptop rather than a B4J coding error.

oldeast Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 21, 2026 #6 Thanks Steve, I did that yesterday and found the .db3 file was corrupted. I have been able to fix it and retain the data and its all ok. I should have checked that first. I would like to know why it was corrupted as this hasn't happened to the other users in 5+ years of use. Thanks for replying. Graham Upvote 0
