Database - information lost after saving and closing.

I have a very simple database. Two text fields and a date field. There are 146 records.
Each text field occasionally contains a lot of characters (isn't 255 the max.?)
If a create another record, put in a date and some text in each text field, then save, close, and reopen the file, the new text is missing from the first text field but the date and other text is intact.
I had this problem two weeks ago. As a work-around, I created another matching database from scratch, exported the records from the corrupt file, and then imported to the new file. The new file functioned well until today.
Any ideas?

No, it's 1004 characters per field.

No idea about this behaviour which I never saw.
May you send the file to my mailbox ?

CV02N - leaving document after saving and closing excel

Hi all,
i change a document (excel file) in transaction cv02n.
Now i save the file and close excel.
After that the document is automatically leaving to the initial screen of transaction cv02n.
How can i avoid that? Customizing?
Perhaps i want to change the document object itself..

Can't open excel file after saving and closing excel with activex

I'm using activex to write and save excel files in LabVIEW. My application opens excel (not visible)writes a file, saves it, and then closes both the file and excel. When I try to open the file Excel opens but the file is not displayed, I see the excel header and footer but the file itself does not display. My application is still running at this point. Any suggestions?

It is critical when using ActiveX with Excel that ALL refnums be properly closed when they are no longer used. Just a single refnum left open will cause the exact situation that you describe. Typically, but not required, the refnums will be closed in the reverse order in which they were created. Here is a good sequence:
Open Application ref
Property Workbooks ref
Open Workbook ref
Close Workbooks ref
Select Sheet ref
Select Range ref
Write Value2 to Range
Close Range ref
Close Sheet ref
Save Workbook
Close Workbook ref
Close Application ref
When you have properly closed all refnums, the problem will disappear.

How do you keep text box formatting data after saving and closing a PDF? (Acrobat XI)

I love that Acrobat XI has the feature "Edit Text & Images". It saves me and my company time when modifying PDFs for our clients. Though I am having some formatting woes...
When I insert a new text box into the document, I can span the entire text box from top to bottom of the page. I can type whatever I want in it and it makes it simple for editing later. Though, when I save the document, close it, and reopen it, all the text that was in one huge text box is broken out into multiple text boxes (per line of text). This makes it a pain to do any edits to the document because the text overlaps and does not wrap (different text boxes over one another). How can I stop this from happening? Is there a way to combine multiple text boxes maybe? What is the best solution to this issue? (running trial version of Acrobat XI on Win7 64-bit)

Why we have chosen not to use comments is due to the how jumbled they become on a page. We are basically going back and putting detailed annotations/footnotes (with numbered markers) to identify what portion of the page the functionality lives/exist. Comments also sometimes close so you cannot find them very easily...
I have just figured out with this form text field solution, I can't use underlined text...sigh...
Update: Figured out the underlined text, CTRL+I

CS5 indd files occasionally change after saving and reopening

Occasionally the contents of my InDesign document will change after saving and re-opening. No errors reported during the save however when the file is opened a text box may be out of place or leading may be messed-up on a few random pages or some of the recent changes may not have been saved. Any ideas?

There was no direct indication that you created the code in a standard module. I asked because you reported that the code works in the sample workbook that you downloaded but not in your own workbook.
I don't know what else to suggest at the moment.
Could you create a stripped-down copy of the workbook (without sensitive information) and make it available through one of the websites that let you upload and share a file, such as Windows Live SkyDrive (https://skydrive.live.com),
FileDropper (http://filedropper.com) or DropBox (http://www.dropbox.com). Then post a link to the uploaded and shared file here.
Or register at www.eileenslounge.com (it's free) and post a message in the Excel forum. You can attach files up to 250 KB to a post there (zipped if necessary).

Mac OS 10.7 Server won't mount DMG's after opening and closing - "Resource Temporarily Unavailable"

I am running Mac OS 10.7.3 Server on Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon with multiple users editing on Avid.
DMG's containing raw camera footage are stored on the server, mounted by connected users on their desktops to allow Avid to access the enclosed data within the DMG's. Recently we've started encountering a problem opening the DMG's after they've recently been opened and closed. After opening and closing a DMG. when we try to open it again from the same user/connected computer or any other user/computer we see an error message saying "The following disk images couldn't be opened" NAME OF DMG "Resource temporarily unavailable". This happened to several users with several DMG's.
We have since restarted the server, which appeared to fix the problem for about a week and now we are having the same issue again.
The only changes made recently have been an update to version 4.2 of our ISIS 5000 which all of the Avid systems edit off of, but I don't beleive that to be the cause of the DMG opening issue. I suspect it might be caused by the Pram still thinking that the DMG's are open when they've already been closed.
Not sure if this is relevant, but we had been running only Mac OS 10.7 systems connected to the server but within the last few months we've been adding several more systems including those with OS 10.8.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Does anyone know the fix to this problem?
Thanks for any and all help!

Also, we have been able to copy the DMGs to desktops and external drives, which normally would not be possible when a DMG is currently open by another user which is the standard situation in which a DMG would say "Resource Temporarily Unavailable".
After copying to another location, they open normally so we believe it is an issue isolated to the server itself.
Thanks!

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Firefox keeps openining with old tabls I saved and closed a LONG time ago and not the recent ones.

Is there a way to clear the tab history, obiviously it's remembering the tabs I saved and closed from a long time ago and it defaults to this sometimes, for some reason, even when I say save and close on the ones I'm on.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

Window Focus Lost After Saving Page - Any Way To Get It Back With Keyboard?

I've recently begun using Safari for Windows after having used Opera for years, and have run into a problem with window focus that I didn't have with Opera. Specifically, if you save a web page in Safari, you then find that the following functions are no longer available from the keyboard:
1. Going back to a web page previous to the one that you just saved. Ctrl+[ does not function.
2. Performing a search. Ctrl+F does not function.
3. Scrolling to the bottom or top of the page. Ctrl+End and Ctrl+Home do not function. (For some reason, however, the PageUp and PageDown keys do still work in this situation.)
Why is this, and more importantly, is there a quick and easy way that you can, using only the keyboard, regain the window focus so that these functions will work again? I'm currently having to click somewhere on the page I've just saved in order to regain the focus. This is a nuisance.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks very much. Hitting 'Alt' button after saving the page does resolve the first (and most important) two of the three issues I listed above. FWIW, the Ctrl+End and Ctrl+Home functions only work in this post-save scenario (as I discovered by experimenting a few minutes ago) if you hit the 'Alt' button twice (or if you do something else, like perform a search and then use Ctrl+End/Home).
By the way, before posting a few days ago, I had tried using the Alt+Tab method when I had two or more applications' windows open, and it didn't help. But, after reading your last post, I've found that if you use Alt+Tab when Safari is the only window open, then it does resolve the issue, although of course, as you've indicated, it's not actually necessary to hit the 'Tab' key.
Thanks again!

Journal entry disappears after saving and not available to post

Hi Gurus
On BPC for Netweaver version 7.5 and excel 2003 i am able to save the journal entry but am not able to post it since it disappears after saving. I could see the Journal ID being generated and then the layout gets cleared . i am unable to post this journal. Also when i go to journal manager and tries to list the journals this saved journal does not show up.
I have already set the application parameter "JRN_MAXCOUNT" to 1000 so that i can see the journals that i create.
Have any of you faced such an issue?
Regards

Hi Tara,
Thank you very much for your tip. I had Datasource as one of the header fields and i moved it to the item fields to make it work. I am still not sure why does that. May be because when we create the journal template system proposes only the required fields in Header and if select additional ones its not liking it.
I cannot come up with a reasoning why we cannot incorporate a non required field in header journal template . The obvious reason that i included the datasource dimension in header itself was because it was a common value that i want to use for all my journals.
Anyway i hope SAP would either fix this or come up with a reasoning.
Thanks again..

After opening and closing 19-20 PDFs in 8.1.6 Acrobat stops working

I have just started getting Acrobat errors '..has stopped working' after opening 19-20 PDFs (individually opening and closing each separately) which causes Acrobat to stop working and displaying PDFs, even any of the 19-20 PDFs, that opened fine beforehand, stop opening. Only by restarting Windows, does it seem to clear this error. I have maintained my updates and patches, on both my Acrobat Professional and Reader 8.1.6.
I am Running Windows XP SP2, with 4Gbs or Memory, and no other programs except for my MS outlook 2007 running. I have MS Office 2007 Professional installed. Something also from Acrobat is interferring with Outlook. Is there an add-on, automatically installed in Outlook for PDF previews? I suspect it might have something to do with the aspect of Acrobat causing the errors and crashing of Acrobat, but I am only guessing. I have also run Antivrus scans on all my PDFs and found no problems with them.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your suggestion. I did uninstall both, and reinstall Pro, and restarted my system. However, that did not solve my problem. Thank you though.
Sincerely
John M. Shaw

Crystal report "Failed to load database information" error after publish

I have seen similar questions, but none of the answers seem to apply to my situation.
I am upgrading an older web application to Visual Studio 2013, using the SAP Visual Studio Crystal Reports tools. Everything works great until I publish.
I have two sorts of reports: Some that export to Excel, and some that export to PDF. All work fine within Visual Studio. However, when I publish, the reports that should go to PDF give me the following error.
Failed to load database information.Error in File [Report Name] {GUID}.rpt
I have seen several posts that indicate that this could be a 32/64 bit issue. I am using a newer 64 bit SQL database, and this is an old application. I have it set to Any CPU. However, since the reports work fine in Visual Studio, I don't see how this could be the issue.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Geoff Callaghan

Hi Geoff
This is definitely not due to the export type. Rather it will be due to a db issue of some sort. My suspicion is that reports that work use a different type of connection that reports that fail. E.g.; the reports that work use OLE DB, those that fail use ODBC and the ODBC datasource is 32 bit, not 64 bit(?). E.g.; check the database connections between reports that work and those that do not. And remember to also check the connections in subreports (if any).

Layers lost after saving as psd

I am having trouble with losing all my layers after saving. I have read many posts hoping to find some direction with no success. I tried rebuilding the entire project and only saving as a psd, still no success. I have made sure to check the layers box. And every time I open it on my Mac, the layers are still intact. However, my programmer and everyone else I send it to- end up with one merged background layer. Does anyone happen to know what may be the reason for this? I appreciate any help/ discussion.

I believe I have solved it. And the above mentioned was partially correct. I was sending it through email, and it was being compressed to 'medium size' rather than actual size. This was rendering the file uneditable w/in Ps. I probably should have figured this out sooner, but I guess it happens. Nevertheless, thanks for the help.
Attached is a thread to a similar problem/ solution.

Stop the EM console and then restart it. I expect all is OK then.
