one record overwrites another record

[Dennis Malen]

H E L P!!!!!
We have just gone live with 5.0.14D4 from 4.8

We are on AIX 5.3

As of Friday on the filepro 4.8 system all records were intact and correct. 
We know this as the 4.8 system is still up and running and the problem 
records in 5.0 are correct in 4.8. We know this problem took place Monday 
morning.

Monday morning when employees started using the new system we found one 
record which was incorrect.

By way of background, our screen provides a field 3 which equals @rn when 
the record is created. We did this years ago in order to be able to tell if 
a record was changed. We never had a problem until this conversion.

Record 134820 and record 137797 are the problems. Record 137797 was 
overwritten and now duplicates record 134820 in every way including creation 
date (@cd). Record 134820 was originated in June (@cd) and record 137797 was 
originated in September. Now both records show the same identical 
information including the creation dates.

All records before and after 137797 show the correct creation dates of 
September. 134820 is the correct record and is no problem. It is only the 
137797 which now is identical to 134820 and is wrong.

Lastly, no one with changing rights was in the file. The only thing that did 
occur was that the person was in 137797 before it changed. Then he did a 
name search using a user created lookup (lookup - with @key) which takes 
them to the highlighted record if they press enter. All employees have used 
this daily in the past with no problem. He then pressed enter and went into 
134820. Completed work on 134820. Then used a user lookup (lookup -) by 
record number (using @rn) and went back to 137797. When there he noticed 
that 137797 now mirrored 134820. The original record information in 137797 
was no where to be found.

We can't ell at what point in the process record 137797 was changed. It 
probably happened when he went to or from the record using the user 
processing name search or user processing record number lookup.

Any help would be appreciated.
