Tim. Did you get the results on a PC?
Yes. Windows 7, Xojo 2016r2.1
Can you post a (small) file that fails, along with the actual code you’re using?
Not easily. It’s 1.6mb for the code. The file is the easier part.
If I can pare down to 2 windows It’d be less.
Also. My PC system is Windows 10 and XOJO 2017 1.1
Then just post the file and I’ll take a look at it.
That’s odd. The forum indicates a new post and that Arthur was the most recent poster 1 hour ago, but I don’t see another post. Arthur, if you posted and it went missing, please repost.
I know what happened. I thought I hit send. I looked at my message and it said “Post a Reply”. I tried it again and got the same response. I think it has a character limit. I’ll post a few lines and the rest will be via Dropbox
There 13 fields. The number 3 field is where I have the “constants”. The fields are tab-delimited, and the Pilcrow is a substitute for Linefeed or endofline.
If you can figure out something, I’d be thankful, even it’s a Windows 10 problem.

Grumble. It cuts all the tabs out.
It’s hard to tell from the posted text just what is what. Can you post (part of) the file on dropbox and share a link? It would be great to have the BOM and a few records.
I saved it in Textwrangler and it loads properly with none of my error messages (like no BOM present).
It has windows CR/LF.
Extras.txt
It appears to work correctly (as far as I understand “correctly”). Here’s a small project with a single button. Run it in the debugger and you should get “hasBOM = True” and “n = 10” (the position of the first ). If you don’t, then it’s an issue with either Windows 10 or Xojo 2017 1.1. If you do, then there’s a problem somewhere in your code.

Thanks Tim
Well. That is good and interesting. I changed my code to:
MnStuff.Prm0L = "<p0>"
'MnStuff.Prm0L = &u3c + &u70 + &u30 + &u3e
and it found it.
I checked all of my points and the other Prm0R and I found I had switched from “/” to “”, but I know it was at one point “/” because I posted it above. I am happy and confused.
