A while ago I e-mailed Blaise the DBT and data file from the application that I am developing.

It seems like about 3 out of 5 times when I use the table builder to make changes to tables that have been initially created with Arev 3.12, the DBT file gets mangled. It is such a common occurence that I got into the habbit of keeping a copy of a good DBT file (since I am not adding any new files) on hand permanently. The files are on my development machine and are not accessed by anything else other than my OI3.5 . The only odd thing is that they were created in an AREV application called M2 whereas the current OI application is called INSIGHT and uses both the M2 and its own OI created tables.

The DBT file I e-mailed Blaise is one that allows me to see the tables but not any indexes. Today, the DBT file got mangled again so that I could not even open my application anymore.

It's been more than a week now and I haven't heard anything on the matter. Can you drop me a line and tell me what if anything is going on? You should have all my data files and I will be more than happy to supply any other information you may need.

Hope to hear from you soon

Thanks

Dave

David,

Blaise is on vacation until next week, but I will make sure that he looks at the .dbt when he returns. If it's urgent let me know and i'll look at it.

Hi Dave-

If you're waiting to hear from Blaise, it will have to wait until after the holidays, as he's on vacation. Please understand also that we've a short week this week as well as last week due to the holidays, so the time that we've actually been here has only been a few days.

I'm not sure if he's reproduced the issues that you were having with the file(s) that you sent. If you'd like to re-open the issue with someone else, then please call tech support about it.

Thanks.

John,

I just got another mangled DBT file today.

The only reason why it isn't a showstopper is because I can always revert to my back-up DBT or create a new one from scratch but it is annoying.

But if you're willing to look at it, I would be more than happy to e-mail you all the information you need. Let me know either here or at [email protected]

P.S. Can someone please add my e-mail address to the Works area so I can send "private" messages? It says it only works with an e-mail address already in there. Thanks.

David,

you can email me the dbt [email protected] and I will try to look at it and see whats up. I will also mail you the syncdb utility if you post your email address.
