Hello Group,
Happy New Year to all hope its a great one for all of you. Due to a recent change that Bruce Conrad and I agreed to make on MD7 the database that stores the data deployed by his CGI scripts at www.knowmexico.com I want to report a glitch in the data export/import function of the Built-In Short Reports. I changed an A12 Field to an A12A1 field on a Panel so we could store a variable length text field to be used to display a video link as we plan to start deploying video from the website. As you all know, in order to change a Panel, all of that Panels data has to be exported. Ive always used the Built-In Short Reports to create a PANELx.GET file to import the data. I had never had a problem with this scheme before. What now causes the problem is using accented letters; i.e. Bucerías instead of Bucerias Cihuatlán instead of Cihuatlan. The ñ also acts strangely. In some cases it is ignored, in others the record is lost. Fortunately, the damage was not major. The Panel contained 185 records. Importing the .GET file resulted in 175 records. The missing ones all contained an accented vowel or an ñ. Some of the recovered records were mis-spelled; i.e. Bahía Kino landed as Bahino breaking down-line links. Editing Bahino using DPs keyboard mapping function to Bahía Kino restored all the links. I believe Google and other search engines algorithms take care of these diacritical mistakes. However, how can we fix this in the DP Export/Import Reports?
