Beginner Question: "Field Does not exist" error message when compiling

[Rafi_M_1]

Hi,

I am a beginner level programmer in Visual Fortran. I am currently learning Fortran on Visual Studio Professional 2012 with Intel Visual Fortran XE 2013. 

For the very first time, debugging works assuming the codes don't have any errors. However, I am getting an error showing "Field does not exist" when debugging the same code for a second time. The code works only for the first time again if I close the program and reopen it. I don't know what is the problem as I have no prior experience. 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I agree. Just like when I get a popup on my screen "The Visual C++ runtime library has terminated in an unexpected way" with no indication of which application was involved, is less than useful.

Thanks. One thing you have that I don't is the Visual Studio Spell Checker Extension. I wonder if that's the issue. Go to Tools > Options > Extensions and remove the spell checker (I think that's where it would be.)

I don't see the Spell Checker Extension in Tools>Options>Extensions and Updates...the list is empty :(

Ok, took me a while to find this.

Click Tools > Extension Manager. Scroll down to Visual Studio Spell Checker and click on it. Click Disable.

With the risk of sounding like a broken record, I don't see a "Extension Manager" under Tools in VS 2012. There is "Extension and Updates" which shows the Installed extensions under "All"  and are following two:

1. Microsft ASP.NET and Web Tools

2. NuGet Package Manager

Therefore, I can not disable the Spell Checker as it does not show up on it.

It is curious that the spell checker shows in your Help About info but not under Extensioins and Updates.

I know this is a pain, but at this point I suggest uninstalling Intel Parallel Studio XE and VS2012. Delete the Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0 folder under Program Files (x86). Reinstall VS2012 and update it to Update 4. Then reinstall Parallel Studio XE. It is clear that something NOT part of the Intel product is causing problems, but finding it seems to be a difficult task.

Thank you for all of your help, Steve. I thought about uninstalling and then reinstalling the whole VS 2012 and Parallel Studio XE. The problem is I lost the product key for the VS 2012 ( I have the license key for Parallel Studio XE). And I cant get the product key through "regedit" as its not opening on my laptop ( yeah I am having issues with my current laptop). Is there any other way I can extract the product key before uninstalling the VS 2012?

You could try http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - I don't know if it will produce a useable key. That you're having laptop issues suggests bigger problems, though.
