When I try to delete a Short Description in Wager History, it does not delete. It seems to create a blank space in the drop down list but not l delete the one selected.

Any suggestions?

Definitely working as designed at my end.

Here's what I did:

1. I brought up the WagerHistory Module by clicking the WgrHist button on the face of the Main Module.

2. On the WagerHistory Module I clicked the Short Descr Setup button.

3. On the Short Descr Setup screen I clicked the New button, keyed the letters "_Test" (without the quotes) into the Short Description box, keyed "This is only a test" (without the quotes) into the Long Description box, and hit the Save button.

Screenshot here:

Create New

From there the Interface created the new Short Description, and I verified that the Short Descr code "_Test" (without the quotes) was visible in the drop down.

4. On the Short Descr Setup Screen I selected the Short Descr code "_Test" (created in step 3 above) from the drop down, hit the Delete button, and answered Y at the prompt.

Screenshot here:

Delete Existing


5. After that, I opened up the drop down - and can clearly see that the "_Test" Short Description is no longer displayed - and has therefore been deleted.

Delete Existing



If you're getting behavior other than this my first best guess at a solution might be to try the following:

1. Close down the WagerHistory Module.

2. Run a compact and repair on the c:\JCapper\Exe\JCapper2.mdb file.

3. Relaunch the the WagerHistory Module and give it another go.

As to root cause(s) for behavior other than what I typed above, my first best guess would be:

1. Some other app (the Data Window, the JCapper Main Module, the JCX File Exports Module, or a third party database app, etc.) has an active connection to and has established an .ldb lock file on the c:\JCapper\Exe\JCapper2.mdb file. (This would prevent the WagerHistory Module from connecting to and altering table content in the c:\JCapper\Exe\JCapper2.mdb file.)

2. It's also possible that the c:\JCapper\Exe\JCapper2.mdb file has become corrupt because it broke the 2.0 gigabyte file size barrier.

As a test: You could try a file rename of your current c:\JCapper\Exe\JCapper2.mdb file to something like c:\JCapper\Exe\JCapper2_SavedForNow.mdb to get the file out of the way for testing purposes - followed by putting a copy of the fresh blank JCapper2.mdb file from your c:\JCapperBuild folder onto your c:\JCapper\Exe\ folder.

After that try repeating the Wager History Module steps that I posted above.

If you are able to add and delete Short Descr's at will like I am able to do at my end: That's a pretty good indicator that your current c:\JCapper\Exe\JCapper2.mdb file has become corrupt (possibly because it broke the 2.0 gigabyte file size barrier.)
