grids.il program stopped working when used in v17

Hi, I have been using  the program grids.il form this forum in v16.6 for several years. After I used it

in v17.2 S050 I got the error:-  *Error* axlFormSetField: argument #1 should be any user-defined (other) type (type template = "otg") - nil

To make things worse now I am getting the same error in v16.6. None of my other skill programs is showing the same error.

I have some colleagues who also have the same problem on different computers.

Any ideas ?

    It works for me in 17.2 although the code is very old and could be written a lot better now.

    The message you are getting implies the form wasn't created, isn't being created in the working directory or "." isn't in your formpath.

    Attached is an updated version that uses embedded forms and no scripts. It should be more portable,7534.DE_grids.zip

    Hi Dave,

    You might want to replace axlDBGridGet("TOP") to axlDBGetGrid(axlConductorTopLayer()). This will make it useful in the packaging tools as well.

    Regards, Craig
