Thank you Michele. Good explanation and the check/repair worked. I'll start doing it once a week.Thanks for the fast response and fix to the problem. I've been using Legacy for years and you've come a long way.
Gene "On some positions, Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question ‘is it politic?' And Vanity comes along and asks the question ‘Is it popular?' But Conscience asks the question ‘Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right." > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Error in new version > Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2015 07:43:45 -0400 > > The clue was “not an index in this table” The data wasn’t lining up > correctly.
