Netlinx studio 2.5 wierd error

in NetLinx Studio
I was just starting some new code, and started to add a new DEFINE_CALL and Netlinx Studio froze and a popup box appeared with the message 'the parameter is incorrect' and wouldn't go away. The only option was to close studio. Anyone else encountered this????

    Not me; I've put maybe 8 hours in on the new version, haven't noticied anything unusual.

    I've got the same some minutes ago with creating a Function.... unfortunately I can't reproduce for reporting....

    It IS reproducable..... doesn't matter if it is a new or existing code file.

    Just try to type 
    DEFINE_FUNCTION ()
    and it will crash.... Upper/lower case doesn't matter. It crashes just when typing the '(' directly after the DEFINE_FUNCTION keyword without a function name.

    But I can't reproduce with DEFINE_CALL.

    error

    Had the same problem.
    It seems the problems occurs when you add a new function (or Call). As you type DEFINE_FUNCTION and the help function is activated netlinx studio hangs.
    A work around for me is to copy an existing function (CTRL+C) and Paste it (CTRL+V) and then change whatever you want.
    Good Luck

    Another was is first to write your function name and then adding the DEFINE_FUNCTION Keyword... (I think there are a LOT of ways to work around ;))

    I also had the error for the Define_Call problem just erroring out with the message above.

    Found a work around. I already had a define call in the code, so I just coppied and pasted it and changed everything else but the define_call and it worked.

    I just had an interesting variation on this one. I absentmindedly started defining a CALL without any of the above mentioned workarounds, and got the endless error message crash. OK, so I three-finger-saluted it, and re-opened Studio. As my wonderful luck would have it, the code had just auto saved, so there was a single line with DEFINE_CALL in it, and nothing else. I have workspace restoration turned on, so Studio attempted to open it on a re-start, and to my horror, I got the dreaded Bad Parameter dialog. Only this time it wasn't endless ... I could click it off. But then, that particular piece of source code now appeared in studio on a tab with no name at all, just the AXS icon. And the file appeared without any highlighting at all ... matter of fact, none of the editor settings applied either. I have my editor set with a black background, and contrasting text colors, but this file appeared with a white background, and black text ... my terminal screen settings. So I closed it (I think), opened the file in a text editor, added my CALL name and parameters, and reopened it in Studio. All was well after that, but curiously, I am reasonably sure I had closed the phantom file tab ... yet it opened up again when I opened the fixed code file. There were now two variants in the worksapce, the no-name, terminal-screen looking one, and the corrected file. I closed the bad one again, and it did not come back after that.

    Modules?

    I just had that same problem, but it only happens when i'm in a module file.

    Projects on a network drive cause problems

    I am having a slightly different problem with 2.5. I upgraded to 2.5 and everything went fine. I worked on some projects in the office, then at a client's place. Now (Saturday) I'm at home and can't open ANY axi or axs file - I get "The parameter is incorrect".

    I tested creating a new workspace and master source file. The new source file comes up, but the colors are weird (perhaps default?). If I try to save the file, I get an error.

    The cause of these problems is my projects folder is a network drive that is available offline. When I copy a project to a physical drive, it opens fine (though the colors are still nasty), or if I create a project on a physical drive, it works fine. This will be a huge hassle if I have to copy each project to a local drive when working away from the office.
