I am inserting some code:

<%
Session("Pata1" = ("10"
%>

I save the file. File > Save

DWMX Bombs out showing 50% processor usage. I have to force quit the app.

This has happened time and again. I have to use notepad to get the code written, has anyone elese has this problem?

This is kinda becoming a mantra among the DMX discussion groups - Don't Try to Install your old Extensions. I did the same thing, and had all kinds of problems, even though most of them installed without error (at least, according to the Extension Manager). Several caused severe problems later on.

I didn't read the group messages first, and installed all of my favorite extensions from UD4. You may not have done this, but if you did, try uninstalling everything that does not have an MX approval from Macromedia. You may also want to make sure you have the current MDAC from Microsoft.

Hope that helps!

Well it could help, except for the fact this is not an extension. Can an extension not opened on a page cause this problem? How?

I am getting tired of the whole MX thing...

Carolus Holman

Yup. Many of the extensions replace or add to existing functions, and you never know what's being called when you do a simple page update. Session vars have a hook into the Bindings control (I assume they must because you can add a Session variable to your bindings).

I'm just about where you are (tired of the whole MX thing) but a few of the functions are just cool enough to make me want to stick with it and get it all resolved. The snippets have already saved me hours of time, and I've only been on MX for about a week and a half.

Yeah, I'd uninstall every extension you have and then only reinstall the ones that have MX approval. I lost some good ones, but not any that I couldn't get around with snippets until an MX version is created.
