Colin FWIW, I haven't seen that but try: 1. scandisk on HDD 2. dpexp, dpimp on *.str. 3. check beginning of each panel file for corrupted records with blanks or something that causes import to freeze, delete them. You probablly already did this but incase you didn't! Best wishes, Jon

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 _____ _______________________________________________ Dataperf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dataperfect.nl/mailman/listinfo/dataperf
