Hi folks,
As I was entering this years data for a yearly survey, I realized
that I needed to add a field or two. After last years survey, we
added another column to the form.
I have a keep-a-total set up on one field, to keep a running total in
the parent panel.
I usually use the export to t-log process to save the data, modify
the panel structure and then import the t-log data.
So after exporting the data, I started to delete all the records in
the file. And got this note:
Note
This panel contains at least one field which stores a total in
a field in another panel.
+----Do you want to-------------------------------------------------------
1 - Undo totals during deletion (and create target records as needed)
0 - Delete the records with no totaling
I understand these choices, but that got me to thinking about the
import process.
After looking at both the Reference Manual and Ralph's book, I cannot
find anything addressing what happens with the Keep-a-total function
when you import a t-log.
I will experiment, and have already backed up the whole database.
Does anyone know what happens in this instance?
TIA.
