Several users have reported similar symptoms with Oracle. I don't remember the solution - this one has not happened to me, so I did not retain the answer - but I do know that it has been posted to the forum.

Take the time to search for one of the relevant threads. Go back a few months at first, and then up to a year if you need to. [If you don't find it within the past year, then your problem is not among them. The posts I'm referring to were definitely within that time frame.]

YABB - the bulletin board software Sparx uses - can be somewhat tricky to search with. If you don't get answers the first time play with your search terms (i.e. keywords) a bit and try again (and again) until you find a few threads. There are definitely some relevant threads there, even if they don't address your specific problem.

If you don't get it solved, report this to Sparx using the bug report form or an email to Sparx Support. Since Sparx is in The Land of AUS you have time to search the forum first; they will not get your report for some time.

PS: When you do get this solved, by any method, please post back to this thread to keep everyone in the loop. That way there will be a fresh thread with this information.
No, you can't have it!
