I think I found the problem why always getting corrupt  and frozen files...USING A COMPLETLY DIFFERENT COMPUTER USING THE 2015 TRIAL VERSION OF HM.
First: I noticed that the last time the "Notebook" data was updated was with a 2015 version, at least that what I saw using the 2015 version of HM. I changed a lot of status and review the notebook entries and they all showed the updated status. I also changed serial numbers and no problems. No freezes...I was using a old back up file dated 2-3-2018
I think after this the coding may have gone haywire as I can see no changes in the notebook entries after the 2015 version. That is ....I can find no status changes dated after 2015 in the notebook tab.

Again, this is on a fresh install of windows 7 pro on an ASUS MB using an AMD processor with 16M ram on my test box. Please let me know if you confirm this I really would like to get started entering some neew inventory items....
