PROMOTIC FORUM

Hi,

I developed my first App in Promotic following the coursebook. Later I opened the alarms file created in dbf and tried to update it using excel. After this now when ever I click History button on alarms panel the application gets closed. The Info object does not show any error however when I looked at the log file it shows following errors.

2014.04.10 13:56:17.875 ERROR: Count:1 Ident:ALARM: AlGetSortedRecords

I deleted the Alarms Object and recreated it but still get same errors in log file. I also created another Application and copied the alarms.dbf file from new application in my earlier application. Still get same error.

Would like to get help is getting this problem resolved.

Thanks

Hi Gondhalekar,

I think you can not edit DBF files with Excel (not meant for it). Use another specialized (freeware) tool for dBASE. Be careful not to change the structure of the DBF file and do not change the meaning of the record. And don't edit while open in PROMOTIC.

PROMOTIC should not crash after uncussesfull reading of corrupted DBF. If you can send me (by email) such a corrupted file, I would fix the problem with crash. But event after fix, it will be not possible to read those Excel edited DBF files.

Has the Crash been fixed now?
