[RBG7-L] - Re: Autofix

[dgallup]

Thanks to David, Dennis, Victor and Razzak for the help and suggestions regarding my corrupted database. In an attempt to determine where the problem lay, I noticed that the TALLY command by date produced two separate tallies for a single date in a lengthy list, an absurd result. So I reintered the dates, I reintered whole rows, I tried everything. The table is a simple table noting transactions in a book business I have. Each row contains a buy or a sell and there are about 15 columns, one of which is the date of transaction. Since 1985, when I first began Rbase use, I have never had a date sort problem; I've had several in the last 3 months. This time was serious and I tried the above named folks' suggestions. I deleted, added, packed, unpacked, reloaded, mixed and scrambled and sauteed. I beat upon the computer and prayed to the Rbase gods. Nothing worked. I then bit the bullet and unloaded the data and reloaded into a newly created empty database. The problem went away. It took a while. Thank you much for the help. I surely do appreciate it and this list is extremely useful - friendly too. I also note that no one ever mentioned AUTOFIX. Is this a taboo subject?  Has it vanished forever? And one final question. I updated Rbase with Update 80 but it does not register as Build 30228, but shows the 30209 Build as the current one. Did I do something wrong. I tried loading the new build twice but same result.  Dave Gallup, House of Books.
