HELP! What is this yellow screen that kicks me out the program?
When working in the desktop application, you may receive a screen with a yellow banner. This is a runtime exception and is commonly referenced as a “Yellow Screen error”. Runtime exceptions occur when a software application is waiting for the computer or has information the application does not know what to deal with. We have all seen them and understand they can be quite frustrating to receive. While frustration, these runtime exceptions help our development team improve the software and accommodate the many styles of data entry used throughout
When runtime exceptions are received, they are delivered directly to our development team. The review the code to replicate and correct the issue as best they can with the information provided. It is important a user enter as much descriptive information as possible indicating what they were doing when the runtime exception occurred.
