Hi,
I know this is not going to sound very obvious but I'll do my best.
Recently I've been having a problems with two client's data going missing.
For example, a line item record seems to have disappeared, not the
record in the primary file. It wasn't a current record being used, in
fact it was 6 months old.
This has happened on a few occasions. Another client has also suffered
this 'trick'. On both occasions it has been a record held in another
'Layout' as I'm using Filemaker 8. The client's have filemaker 8v3 and
I've developed both solutions using 8.5 advanced. Each client is running
two computers, peer to peer networking.
I can find no reason for this happening.
When examined, the primary file still has its own data but when
searching the line item file using the related link record ID, that
record has disappeared from the line item file
Another example is when a client was doing a bank reconciliation two
line item records from July last year had disappeared, obviously causing
this month's reconciliation to be out those two amounts.
Has any one else had any similar problems using FM8.
I've never struck this before in the 15 years I've been developing
solutions for small businesses.
I'm struggling to convince the client its not a filemaker issue, when I
can't 'see' how it could have occurred.
