Jonas,

Yep - very weird. I have been working on windows for long enough now 
that I barely feel the pain any more, but I can still remember the 
disbelief I felt when I first moved from IBM AS400 to PC development 
(3.1) and it fell over every 10 minutes...

I assume that this must be some kind of weird memory allocation problem 
(perhaps due to the larger size of the new eugrid include...?).  Have 
you tried moving the code around a bit to get variables allocated in a 
different order, or allocating zero to the dropdown list id before 
calling CreateEx?  

BTW I ended up coding the following in EuGrid in the scrollbar code:

elsif scrolltype = SB_PAGEUP then
-- No idea why, but removing this line gives a page fault on Win95
GridTopRow[grid] -= 0
--...so dont remove it!!!!!
GridTopRow[grid] -= GridDraw[grid][MAX_VISIBLE_ROWS]

>From which I conclude that Euphoria's memory management is not *quite* 
perfect...

If you want me to take a look at the code then by all means send it to 
me at pg_russellnospam at hotmail.com (removing 'nospam').

Cheers,

Phil
