Hi All,

Anyone struck this problem or similar with The Big Clean (TBC)?

Dp26x - Three databases - 2 are derivatives of the main one. Have recently 
completed TBC (as per Ralph's Book) on the main database and one of the 
derivatives without a problem. The 2nd derivative database is not completing 
the big clean as follows
42 panels
Create transaction log - Log looks fine
Delete all data files leaving translog and *str file in directory. Carry out 
dpexp/dpimp 
Re-enter database and re-create ind & txx files - everything appears fine till 
this point, but after those two files are created (both of which appear in the 
directory (can be seen in explorer window) the panel entered file is also 
created and then a "Please wait" message appears at top of the panel, and the 
process comes to a complete stop. No further panel files get created. (Please 
wait message stays but there is no CPU or HD activity) With the please wait 
message showing (bearing in mind that there is a bug in 26x that allows panel 
header messages from other panels to show thru to the top layer panel) you can 
move from field to field within that panel. If you exit that panel and enter 
the next panel via the panel list then the file, for that new panel entered, 
appears to be created and the file appears in the explorer  window. You can 
exit each panel in turn and enter the next one and each new panel file appears 
to be created each time as the panel is entered. But when all files are finally 
present, importing the transation log only seems to populate the 1st panel 
created after the ind & txx files were created.

This database was & is actually working fine and I can continue working with it 
on a backup copy without problems. But just curious why I'm getting these 
issues. The Main Database was getting 103 and subsequent 121 errors some times 
when editing variable length text fields and TBC sorted it just fine. Thought 
I'd do TBC to the couple of derivaties just as a maintenace thing - neither 
were having any issues. One also completed fine but as above one has turned 
into a problem child - The two databases that completed TBC re-created all the 
panel files automatically with the txx and ind files on entering the database.

Any ideas??

Regards

Colin Roberts
