Are you all running Windows Vista If so can you start the app as an administrator and see if you still get the error

The app crashes totally if i click "edit property metadata " and does this consistently. The system have plenty of unallocated memory.
To me it looks like the program is trying to access a handle to a window that is not set.

We released the source code for the other applications, because they are meant for business users. The Catalog and Inventory Schema Manager is meant for developers and architects and it’s not really meant to be modified.

No solution so far, i would run a debugger on it, unfortunately the code for the schema manager is not included in the SDK
Any word on when SP1 for commerce server is schedualed to arrive

Frank, can you please ellaborate what you wrote in your last post. Where is the ProductCatalogSchema.xml file located Is it some sort of mappings xml file I could only find the 'CatalogAndInventorySchemaManagerConfig.xml' file in the business applications folder which lists the metadata properties column headers. I tried adding my metadata property to the list, but it still is not appearing in the catalog and inventory schema manager application.
By the way, i tried changing the name/display name of existing metadata properties in the database, but it makes no change to the property names that appear in the management application. So i believe there must be some mappings file where these properties are defined along with their language specific display names.
Those of you who are not facing problems with 'Edit property metadata' in the catalog and inventory schema manager, Can you please confirm if my assumption is correct that any property added to the property meta data appears when you go and add a new property. I mean on the 'Add new property' form of catalog and inventory schema manager like the other built in properties.
Thanks,
Agha

Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet I'm also facing the same problem.
Also, i would be interested in knowing how can i add something to the metadata programatically. I couldn't find any documentation on this. I suspect the 'AddPropertyToEntity' method in CatalogContext is the one that assigns a property to be in metadata of a particular definition type. I tried adding a property to the 'ProductDefinition' entity through this method and the property seems to be added (I can see it in the properties collection returned by the 'GetEntityProperties' method), but it does not appear in the catalog and inventory schema manager when i add a new property definition. Is my approach correct If yes, why am i not seeing it on the new property defintion form
