Stuck in DbSys and can't get out. Send help. :) |

Dave Harrison | I'm using DbSys for v4.24 and I'm modifying an existing record
structure. Everything was going fine, I added a dozen new fields (using INS key) tot he old record structure then I went down to the bottom with the down arrow and entered a new field. As soon as I try and leave the field name, it says "This field name already exists". Well, this is a unique field name. I also notice the field # column is the same as the field above. Shouldn't the field # be incremented? Now no matter what I do I keep seeing this error dialog pop up. I can't abort the last field entered. I suppose I could press Cancel and lose all my changes but I'd rather not do that. But I pressed Cancel anyways and it tells me "This field name already exists" and sends me back to the last field entered. I'm stuck in DbSys and can't get out. I finally pressed Ctrl-D to delete the last field and it gets deleted and dbSys seems to be ok now. I can add the field just fine if I insert it with INS, but if I try and add a new field by scrolling down to the bottom with the arrow key, it screws up. Is this a known bug? Dave |

I'd have to know the steps that you took to get this to happen in order to fix it because I've never seen such a thing happen, at least not in the last 2 years. There may have been issues like this when V4 first came out. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Correct, as soon as I press the down arrow to create a new field at the end of the file list. > I'd have to know the steps that you took to get this to happen in order to > fix it because I've never seen such a thing happen, at least not in the last > 2 years. There may have been issues like this when V4 first came out. I'm using 4.25. I tried it again this morning and it is working fine. When I press the down arrow to create a new field at the end of the field list, the field # column is now set to 0 which is correct. Before it would be 39 which was the same field# as the last field in the table. Maybe there was a memory problem with my machine? I was able to reproduce the problem countless number of times before, but I guess I should have rebooted before posting. Oh well. Sorry for the false alarm. Dave |

It is/was most definitely a bug, but I'm unfortunately not able to do anything without being able to reproduce it. I will try some things here and see if I can come up with the same result. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

If it happens again, I'll just reboot since that seemed to have solved the problem because it's working today. Dave |
