Calculation Too Deep Message

Problem

It gives a "calculation too deep" message, or something similar.

This might happen in an Estimate (schedule), in Assembly price updating, or in some of the report Calculators.

Diagnosis

This message should never happen. But we have some calculations that have the potential to get into an infinite loop. Rather than have a freeze, we have a counter that "times out" and gives an error message.

Solution

If users report it, ask for a copy of their file so we can duplicate the problem here and fix it. Or maybe there is some legitimate situation where it really should loop a lot, in which case we can increase the limit.

Generally Goldenseal Accounting Software should just keep going after giving this message, so users don't need to do anything special after seeing the message.
