Any chance that you had a carriage return at the end of your record that 
created a blank row?

Do you have a rule to prevent blank records?

Like R:azzak indicated, looking at the output of the unload command should give 
you some clues.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Ghosted text when editing a table

 

I created a new simple database with a table called book and columns for 
bookID, Title, Author and so forth.  Data was imported from a voice to text 
file.  Someone read the title of a book, said the word "comma", read the name 
of the Author and said the word "semi-colon."  This created a comma delimited 
file with a semi-colon representing a linefeed.  I don't remember if I used 
gateway or commands from the R:Prompt  to import the data.  

After adding a bookID column, a primary key, the table was complete.

 

Using "Edit all from Book" I was able to immediately see every column and row 
as always.  I updated the title and author columns to left justify (LJS) and 
Capitalize significant words (ICAP3).  These commands appeared to work fine.

 

In order to save my work I used the unload command to unload all from book.  I 
also reloaded the database.    

 

Now when I open the saved database and edit all from book, the screen shows the 
columns and rows but no text.  If I scroll down, after each row, the text then 
appears.  

 

Is there a setting I can reset so my table will show when I edit all?
