With PVD. Incompatible operations are disabled and their commands greyed-out, but other things can be done. I have no reason to believe it would make any difference, I just wondered what else might be going on at the time of the error.

Possible, but unlikely. But consider switching to the beta anyway. It has some minor glitches and things yet to be done, but it's stable. As for safely running both versions, see Portable Mode, and bear in mind not using it will overwrite and destroy the 0.9.9 versions of your database and configuration file if they are saved in the default locations. Make backups of both of them, and copy both of them to the 1.0.2.2 installation folder—where they will be used by the beta version running in portable mode. You may, of course, do the opposite and run 0.9.9 in portable mode.

I hear ya.  :)

But if you poll the long-time users of PVD, I'd bet you'd find that a lot of them are using the beta version. From looking at his response to you in this thread, Rick appears to be using it -- and he is one of the most knowledgeable users of the program. The beta has been in release (and regularly updated for quite a while now), and so has probably gotten many kinks worked out. This week I've probably spent 30 hours using it -- so far it hasn't eaten my database nor exploded my computer.  ;)

That's right, but I'm the one he wants to have the nasty surprises. ;)

I haven't had any. I think it's stable.
