Cannot update items in table through Syseditor (OpenInsight Specific)

How can I unlock a table that the syseditor and a bound form will not update too?

The dos attributes are set ok and and I am on a single workstation not connected to any network. The table reads fine and does not

have any errors (GFE etc.) when verified.

Thanks

Bruce,

Can you verify the table is locked? What happens when to try to

update the table? Do you get any errors?

Let me know if you get a chance.

What sort of error is it giving, if it's giving one at all?

Can you write from code? What is in @FILE.ERROR and returned from GET_STATUS after the write?

Is it a dictionary table?

It is a standard LH table. With a dict and data portion.

Sorry - are you updating the data or the dict?

Andrew,

The data. If I open a record through the syseditor, change/add

an attribute then open again the changes are not there. Hence, no update/write. I am hesitant to 'manually' remove the indexes at this time and would like to now how the system processes files during an update. Is it/it is possible that a 'control' record is messed up.?!

If you write a program to do the write is there a value in @file.error after the write?

Regarding File.Error variable.

No value, it is null. File.Error.Mode=0

File.Error='

File.Error.Mode=0'

File_Error='

File_Error_Mode=0'

bc,

To see the file error, use the MSG function:

Msg(@window, "error#": @file.error)
