Thanks for the feedback!...I will try an update on the machine in question in a few days. Have some parts to run and I don't dare fool with it yet! I'm just glad to know an update my fix it.

I guess I have had the software installed much longer than I thought! I will have to get around to bringing that machine up to date....my oversight. I just can't figure out why one computer runs the sample code and one won't. The computer that will run it is a windows 7 system. I am just curious if anybody else has the same results.

Some time has gone by now and I'm still calling subs to get the results I need. Things work well that way but I stumbled into something yesterday. The attached code runs on my laptop using R3.043.022. The computer running my mill is version R3.042.040 and will not run the code. Maybe the cutter comp with work offsets has been repaired....not sure. Can someone else give it a try and confirm this for me before I go running updates on the mill computer. Thanks, Riley.

No empty box, no screen flicker. The button does depress but that is all.

That's what I'm thinking! I'm totally amazed at the the amount of support that one is able to receive from this site. It makes a huge difference, thanks to everyone!

I can get to my tool table through config/tooltable. I can make changes and the programs are using it. I know it sounds strange, but it just does not show up in the nfs wizard. Can I check the button script?

Ok....just tried the same code on another windows7 pc and I can program climb or conventional milling with no issues. Just don't have any other xp machines to try it on. I have not tried to actually run a mill on a windows7 pc. I am only using the simulation and assuming it is all good. Could I put 7 on the milling machine? Maybe a fresh install would not be a bad idea.....or maybe I should leave well enough alone and make some chips!

I did check for that and the tool table is nowhere to be found....I'm hoping that my install is not corrupt in some way. Thinking about a reinstall but not sure I want to risk it!
