Hi,

I have recently upgraded our system from 1.51 Beta to 1.62. All went smoothly or so I thought.

We are getting a unexpected errors popping up occassionally.

 'Error  An internal application error has occurred'. The latest came up on opening a customer information file. Also saw one on trying to access the patients attached to a customer.

This is a persistant error for these particular files.

No problems occurred under 1.5 Beta.

The error report is pasted below.

Much Thanks Geoff
