[RBASE-L] - Re: problems with sorting

[David M. Blocker]

It looks like no one has responded to this one, so I'll give it a shot.   1. Do you have 7.0?  If yes, can you test it on that? 2. If it still happens there or you cannot test it, it sounds like you've isolated something important.  Check the obvious: *  AUTOCHK for damage *  Pack keys to rebuild all indexes *  See if it still happens once you know the database is clean. *  Try a reload and see if it helps *  if not, use UNLOAD ALL to a file to rebuild the database structure and data and try again.   If all these fail, send the database and a set of instructions on how to replicate to Razzak, Mike and Aleksey at RBTI.  They want to squash all the bugs we can find!   David Blocker   ----- Original Message ----- From: B. Karmel To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 2:32 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: problems with sorting Possible glitch or bug in RBASE 6.5: When using a 1024 X 768 screen resolution (my great new LCD monitor�s best resolution for me) I ran into the following problem when using RBASE 6.5++, Build 1.866opened to a database that contains a table with 190 columns. This is the biggest table in my database. The table contains responses from a 190 item questionnaire that I need to keep in one table. The table has a two-variable index key. When I sort this table it seems to disappear.  I have checked all of the RBASE settings that I know of, such as sort on, and scratch, etc. Packing the Dbase or the indexes doesn�t cure the problem either. Although it looks like the whole table disappears, if you double-click on one of the cells, the information for that cell that should be there opens up in the text editor, but nothing else.  Work around: I have found that if you change the windows desktop screen resolution to 800 X 600 or lower compared to the 1024 X 768, and then open RBASE, connect to the database with this table and then try to sort it, the table sorts and displays perfectly. Permanent fix: Is this lack of scalability fixed in RBASE 7.0? bernie karmel
