I'm definitely going to try this if I still have issues. I wonder if anyone else in the group has tried this fix?
I've been tasked with troubleshooting the issue with someone in our QA department, and he seems to be having semi-consistent problems in Job Entry. I watched him enter 3 jobs this morning, and the 3rd job crashed after he completed entering all the data. Everything seemed to save, but it's frustrating for him when he's in a rhythm of data entry and then Epicor pukes. Anyone else have problems in this screen?

To explain it simply, if you viewed all the processes or handles that your OS can address as a big grid with empty boxes in it. Each "process" in Vantage (buttons, radio buttons, form fields, etc) or any application uses a space or box in that grid, when the boxes fill up, rather than look at clearing out unused boxes, Windows just wipes the slate clean and starts over. Not the best practice, but the limit set by default is in theory unreachable, but not in the case of Vantage. This came directly from an Epicor and Microsoft conversation.
