I'm working with a copy of ebase v1.02. This problem occurred in FM 4.1. converted ebase to FM 5 and the problem is still there. Issue - when adding a new name - using the add name button - a FM warning message pops up. It states: "This field cannot be modified until "RECORD NUMBER" is given a valid value." I hit OK, it pops up again. It pops up three times. After that it dumps me at data entry screen 1, in the first name field - just like the add name script is supposed to do. Stranger yet is that there is no record number created for this record. It doesn't show up in any fields and, when viewing the names file as a table, the new record and info is there but there is no record number. I've compared the add name (and add related records) scripts with working versions of ebase v1.02 and see no discrepancies. The field Record Number is defined correctly. The field Added Correctly is defined correctly. This ebase is on a network that has had crashes before. Maybe the field record number is 'corrupt' but there seems to be no way to check that. B/c the message pops up three times, I'm guessing that the add name script is running up to the create related records script - which tries to create three records and it is those records that aren't created and are generating the message (3 times) which makes me think that the problem is occurring earlier in the script - as though the add New Record/Request command doesn't work. It's a FM command though and how can that be checked? Anyone seen this before or have recommendations for where the error could be occurring? Thanks much!
