Script execution window blank & Unknown error. Any ideas ?

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

All,

Wondering (hoping !) whether anyone has seen this before or maybe even has a solution !

Until recently I had 3 separate databases, all running very well for years. Then last week, without making any changes to the PC or the scripts, the following occurred:

- When running a script, the window which normally shows the executing of the script remains blank

- After a few minutes, an 'Unknown Error' was reported on the very first few lines of the script

Of course I have tried various options:

- Edit out the 'offending' lines in the script. Result: the error simply points to the next lines in the script

- Tried running scripts in my other databases. They all show the same issue

- Asked a colleague to run my script. This worked fine, on that PC the script completes without issues

- Removed & Reinstalled QlickView. Result: No change

I have the Personal Edition.

Any thoughts please ?

Can you re-run this after removing the single quotes and see if that makes any difference

Hi Sunny, and thanks for looking into this. I had tried removing the quotes already, and even tried removing the entire lines. The error simply moves to the next line in the script. Only if I remove all of the following will the script work, but of course will fail for the 'Applymap' statements as no re-mapping has been defined. Note the full script worked before without changes .. ?
