I'm not sure what might be causing your crash, but to get rid of the
requester you could change your process window pointer to -1, this
tells DOS not to open error requesters related to your process, for
example:
BPTR MyLock;
struct Process *Proc = (struct Process *) FindTask(NULL);
APTR OldWinPtr = Proc->pr_WindowPtr;
Proc->pr_WindowPtr = (APTR) -1;
MyLock = Lock("<<Assign Name>>", SHARED_LOCK);
if (MyLock)
{
/* Assign does exist */
UnLock(MyLock);
}
else
{
/* Assign does not exist */
}
/* Always replace the old WindowPtr! */
Proc->pr_WindowPtr = OldWinPtr;
Regards, Andrew Bell.
