Re: I need help with a dumb question!

Hi, Michael -

 

Thanks!  That was what I needed to get the reports to display.  For the life of me I couldn't remember how to get to that.  If you think of how you solved the other problem, let me know!

Thanks!

Laurie

Hi Laurie,

I think the Report Display option you need is under the User Screen Options (Ctrl-F3), menu item 7 - Report Display On/Off.

I have had something similar to what you describe as your second problem but can't think off hand what caused it but then it is Sunday!

Good luck.

Regards,

Michael

Hello, everyone!

 

It's been a long time and I'm embarrassed to write to the list after so many years incommunicado with everyone (except for Brian a while back).

 

I have a dumb question and I can't find it in any of my reference books. 

 

I did the "Big Clean" but my reports aren't displaying while they are printing - you just see a number counting as it goes through the records.  I know this is a very simple setting but I can't remember how to get to it, and I can't find how to reset it in my manuals or Ralph's book.  (Probably panic is interferring with effective searching!)  Can someone tell me how to set it back so the reports display while they are printing. 

 

I am also having another (bigger) problem.  I have my DP application that I have been using and tinkering with for my home-based business for 10+ years and it has been working fine all this time.  However, on Friday morning I started having a problem with importing records into it into my temporary import panel. 

 

When I try to import a file, the records at the beginning of the import file import correctly, but the rest of the records are blank.  The number of records that is created in the import panel corresponds to the number of records in the import file, but after a certain point in the import file, the only field that is populated is the autoincrementing number field.  All the other fields are blank.  The last record that imports any values at all into the fields only imports some of the fields. If I divide up the file into small enough files and import each one separately, they each import correctly -- kind of (I'll explain that if needed.)

 

The number of records that imports correctly has been getting progressively smaller over the past 2-3 days.  Initially it was, say, 800 out of 1200, then it went down to 400 out of 1200, and now it is down to about 175 and presumably getting smaller.

 

I have tried the import on various computers, and the exact same thing happens on all of them, so the problem is not confined to a single workstation

 

Does anyone know what could cause this?  As mentioned above, I have done the "big clean" in an attempt to try to fix whatever must have gotten messed up.  No other changes were made to the database prior to this problem occurring, except for about 2-3 months ago when some new fields were added to a panel and some new reports were added to the reports list.  Again, that was some months ago, and there had been no problems up until this problem just started occurring on Friday.

 

Please help!
