A Problem Using Filepro

[Nancy Palmquist]

Harold,

This is most commonly caused by the add mode.  When you select add 
records, it puts you in a process that adds one record after another.

If you do not make sure at least one field has data, when the user 
pushes ESC (SAVE) you may have occasion for the user to hit an extra ESC 
and all of a sudden you get these blank - recorded - records.

If the record is not recorded it is not a problem, only recorded. If you 
access your file via index and just press ENTER with no data in the 
index key, you will see RECORDED blank records at the beginning of the 
index.

Delete them and the next time you add records, they will be utilized for 
the new records.  When you refill all these records it will start adding 
to the end again.

Hope this helps and thanks for your service.

Nancy
