texte = webcat 3.0.04, web* 4.2, mac 8.6Has anyone ever had a problem with records that have been deleted from a db file using the Delete tag, reappearing in the file one or two days later? This is being reported to me from one of our sites. I've tried to reproduce it during the last couple of days and can't. The client says that at first, it appears that the record was deleted as a search of the file shows it is not there and then it shows up a day or so later, back in the file. Also, it's intermittent - doesn't happen every time.It would sound on the surface like a classic case of a backup file replacing a newer file, but I know that's not the case as there are also records that are being added and modified and those are call current and correct.I'm also using [commitdatabase] after the delete to make sure it gets written back to disk. Could this be a problem?This client is very commputer-savvy and assuming the client is not just imagining this, are there any situations that anyone can think of that might cause this. I've run out of ideas, although I did ask them to keep a log of exactly when they delete and when the record shows back up to see if there is a pattern.There's not much written in the docs or in the archive about the delete function, so...Sally ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
