************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.




any suggestions?

many thanks if you can try to help

thanks for the suggestion but i still doesnt work, still getting the same error when i click on snapshot.

i think this is the key part

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

help please

Agreed, but I'm at a loss to explain it.

Instead of using the snapshot method to make your layout, could you try doing it manually? Without Party open, just go into config, add ten tables, and move them where you like.
