Hello, everyone!
It's been a long time and I'm embarrassed to write to the list
after so many years incommunicado with everyone (except for Brian
a while back).
I have a dumb question and I can't find it in any of my reference
books.
I did the "Big Clean" but my reports aren't displaying while they
are printing - you just see a number counting as it goes through
the records. I know this is a very simple setting but I can't
remember how to get to it, and I can't find how to reset it in my
manuals or Ralph's book. (Probably panic is interferring with
effective searching!) Can someone tell me how to set it back so
the reports display while they are printing.
I am also having another (bigger) problem. I have my DP
application that I have been using and tinkering with for my
home-based business for 10+ years and it has been working fine
all this time. However, on Friday morning I started having a
problem with importing records into it into my temporary import
panel.
When I try to import a file, the records at the beginning of the
import file import correctly, but the rest of the records are
blank. The number of records that is created in the import panel
corresponds to the number of records in the import file, but
after a certain point in the import file, the only field that is
populated is the autoincrementing number field. All the other
fields are blank. The last record that imports any values at all
into the fields only imports some of the fields. If I divide up
the file into small enough files and import each one separately,
they each import correctly -- kind of (I'll explain that if needed.)
The number of records that imports correctly has been getting
progressively smaller over the past 2-3 days. Initially it was,
say, 800 out of 1200, then it went down to 400 out of 1200, and
now it is down to about 175 and presumably getting smaller.
I have tried the import on various computers, and the exact same
thing happens on all of them, so the problem is not confined to a
single workstation
Does anyone know what could cause this? As mentioned above, I
have done the "big clean" in an attempt to try to fix whatever
must have gotten messed up. No other changes were made to the
database prior to this problem occurring, except for about 2-3
months ago when some new fields were added to a panel and some
new reports were added to the reports list. Again, that was some
months ago, and there had been no problems up until this problem
just started occurring on Friday.
Please help!
