Can you select 2 or 3 records, perform the operation on the server where its
not working, and then send the active link logs? My wild wild guess is that
maybe your table field is referencing a wrong server? Either that or the
Push Field action is referencing the wrong server.. If its neither of these
two reasons maybe the AL logs might tell us something..

Subject: Push Field not happening


Hello Everyone,

We have employee records stored in a "PAY:Employee" form.  The Status is
either "Active" or "Inactive".  The employees each have a unique "Employee
e-ID" field.  The problem is that some of our employees are, alas, no longer
with us, so we want to mark their Statuses as "Inactive?

So we have a control panel with a table that displays all the "Active"
records.  The "Employee e-ID" value is listed in an "Employee e-ID col"
column.  The user hi-lites the rows he wants to make inactive, and clicks a
"De-Activate" button.  This calls an active link that calls a guide that
loops the table.  For each hi-lited record an "inner" active link pushes the
value "Inactive" to the record where 'Employee e-ID' = $EmployeeEid col$.
The main active link then refreshes the table, and the hi-lited records
disappear.  If you display them they have indeed been changed to "Inactive".

At least that is the way it worked in our test system.  We have now brot
everything over to the live system, and all the active links fire, and the
log shows the link pushing the "Inactive" value to the desired records.  BUT
the records don't get updated.  They do not disappear from the table and
when you display them their Status is still "Active."

I ran a filter log just in case some other workflow was setting the Status
back again, but it wasn't.  Besides, the "Last Modified Date" is not getting
set. I inserted a message into the "inner" active link to print out the
"Employee e-ID col" and it is correct.  But the Push Fields is simply not
happening.  I am running as Administrator, so it can't be a permissions
issue.

Any ideas?
