I'm relatively new to REALbasic, and am in the midst of a project  
using version 2007r5.  Things have been going along just fine, but  
suddenly tonight the code-completion feature has selectively stopped  
working.  I can't seem to find a pattern as to what still works and  
what doesn't... so far it looks fairly random, as far as I can tell.

As a for-instance, I'm in the middle of populating the properties of  
an object called 'Style', the instance of which I've labeled  
'tempStyle', from a database recordset.  Here's a code snippet:

   while not tempRs.EOF

     Dim tempStyle As new Style

     tempStyle.ClassificationID =  
tempRs.Field("ClassificationID").StringValue
     tempStyle.ColorMin = tempRs.Field("ColorMin").IntegerValue
     tempStyle.CountryOfOrigin =  
tempRs.Field("CountryOfOrigin").StringValue

In the above (and for many similar lines below it filling up  
additional properties), by the time I had typed "temps", the auto- 
completion feature was able to take over.  I could hit 'tab', and the  
full object name would fill in as 'tempStyle' with correct  
capitalization.  Then inserting a dot and pressing 'tab' again gave me  
a list of all the properties and methods associated with the Style  
class.

Suddenly, this has stopped working... both for my 'tempStyle' object,  
and also for the recordSet ('tempRs').  In this same window, auto- 
completion has pretty much stopped altogether... but if I create a new  
instance of Style in a different method somewhere else, autocompletion  
works again.  I tried copying all the code into a new method, but the  
problem followed along.

Does anyone have any experience with what might be happening here?  My  
apologies if I've left out any critical information... I'd be  
extremely grateful for any advice on how to get things working  
properly again, and would of course be happy to provide any additional  
details.

Thanks in advance!

Jon
