Good point, but I dont think so. If I didnt reconcile Rays file, then my original app would still have 'broken' combo boxes (the wrong answers were impossible to delete), but they dont. Ray's fix is still holding fine.

I just copied my app and copied some forms, but I cant get this error to reproduce.

I'll try to delete the 'afflicted' combo box and add new ones to see if this will help.

I'll report back if there is a still a problem.

Thanks for your help.
Steve

Erika,

I just got the bug to reproduce. Just delete another combo box, and the answers will jump to antoher combo box on that same form.

I'm going to test my working copy (the one that Ray fixed, to see if it does the same thing.)

Steve
Edit: The bug was still in the copy that Ray sent me  Sad

I opened the dsr from his email and deleted the combo box called Shape, and all the answers jumped to the box called Type.

What shall I do?

I still have the one you sent before. Let me look at it and see if there is another piece floating around. Same form as before?

Form name is Category Editor. Though I haven't tested the others. Its probably in all the forms because they are all copies of Category Editor.

Ah, that would be the problem. I only cleaned out the one Form (Photo Editor). I'll clean out Category Editor also.

Give me a few minutes... Wink

No, don't waste your time on that app.

I've made lots of changes since I sent you that one.

I'll email my most recent, along with the copy that i made. 3 forms in 1 app and 1 form in the other.

ps. no rush to do it tonight. We wont work on it until tomorrow.

Thanks,
Steve

Shoot. It's already on its way back to you.

Okay, I'll clean out the other apps tomorrow. Is it clear which forms are the problem?

Thanks for the quick fix, but your not getting to the root of the problem.

I opened the dsr that you just sent me and deleted the combo box labeled "Shape" (LE NAME SHAPE0, found on the "Descriptions" tab in Category Editor form). The contents of that box went into the combo box NAMED "TYPE" found at the bottom of the "Categories" tab of the same form. (No LE label). Once the answers show up in TYPE, they can not be deleted. This is all evident in the Category Editor form.

I'm emailing my two apps to you now. Take your time with them. Anytime tomorrow would be great. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks,
Steve

If its easier, and more thorough, just delete all the combo boxes and I'll add new ones. Just make sure the answers dont appear in a new combo box, like they did the first time around.

Darn. I was trying not to clear more than was absolutely necessary, but I may not be able to be so surgical. Ah well, I'll take a look at the current apps tomorrow.

No problem. I just dont want to face this problem again months down the road and you tell me to "start from scratch."

By the way, you told me to start from scratch on my invoice program (I cant remember the reason now) so I quit working on it until you add a 'copy and paste' abililty to LEs in a future version. There is just too much stuff to rebuild manually. If this wont be available for several months, then I need to start rebuilding..... Sad

The recent addition of importing programming is a BIG help!

Thanks for the quick service, as always!
Steve

Erika,

Please also take a look at why I cant run a Universal search in the RugStudio app, Category Editor Form.

Thanks,
Steve

A few stray combo box items does not require starting from scratch. I tried to ditch only those that looked out of place, but, since I don't know your data, I can't tell by looking which choices are appropriate for which combo boxes.  Since you don't seem to care, I'll just clear them all.

Copy and paste of LE's is a major undertaking and will not be implemented within the next few months.

Steve,

I see what's happening with your combo boxes and it's entirely my fault. I'm cleaning out your Forms, but be aware there's a bug which is now fixed for the next release. For the current release, if you need to delete a combo box or list box which has previously been saved, follow these steps:

1. Delete the choices from the element.
2. Save the layout.
3. Delete the element itself.

I'll be adding this to the workarounds page. My apologies for the aggravation.
