Garbage in a record and I can't delete the record

One of my records is returning garbage. I tried to delete the record
it a message comes back and says Search Key Cannot be found. I don't
know what happened to the record but I sure need to get rid of the
record and recreate it as it is totaling hosing up all my month end
stats.

Thank you in advance.

Make a copy of the database and run a compact/repair

I have found this occassionally with A2K databases utilizing the database
password feature.
I've been able manually fix thuly:

1. Copy the table (ctrl-C then ctrl-V) from database window
2. Using the copy, I can usually delete the garbage record(s)
3. Delete the orginal table (or rename it for safe-keeping)
4. Rename the copy to the original table name

Good Luck,

Than you very much! Once I ran the Compact/Repair I was able to delete
the record.

Hello, I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and whether I can reduce the memory usage. I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database periodically. What happens, is that the app reads the contents of a text file line by line into an ArrayList. Each element of the ArrayList is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then processed, and the arraylist goes out of...

Hi to all, I am displaying a list of records in a subform which is embedded in a popup main form (in order to ensure that users close the form when leaving it). It seems to be impossible to delete a record in this subform. When I switched modal off and tried to delete a record from the list, I deleted a record on another form (below the popup form).

I have a command button on a form that is supposed to Delete the record being displayed. The record is displayed one to a form. The form is not a Pop-Up nor is it Modal. Tracing the btnDelete event routine shows that AllowDeletions is TRUE. When the Delete button is clicked (without TRACE ON), I get a 'beep', the recordselector (vertical bar on left of form) gets dark in color, but the record is not deleted. Also, there is no error...

Hi, I hope I'm not OT. I have the following issue: I want to delete a record from my db with a php script. Let's say I'm auth'd and I want to delete the record id 440. With a simple form (get or post), I send the id to my script and delete the record (DELETE FROM table WHERE id=some_validated_input). The problem is if I'm a nasty guy I just write my own form and delete any

I have been reading (or at least googling) about the potential addition of optional garbage collection to C++0x. There are numerous myths and whatnot with very little detailed information. Will this work be library based or language based and will it be based on that of managed C++? Then of course there are the finer technical questions raised (especially due to pointer abuse). Is a GC for C++ just a pipe dream or is there a lot of work...

Thank you all for your replys ! Indeed I am using a vector<vector<nDimensionalPoint * as Hashtable. My requirement is to lookup the value of a point of n dimensions very fast for given coordinates. I'm going to try an STL Map or Multiset. Maybe that works faster and more memory efficient. I have never heard before of a pool allocator but will Google for it.

Hi all, Is garbage collection possible in C++. It doesn't come as part of language support. Is there any specific reason for the same due to the way the language is designed. Or it is discouraged due to some specific reason. If someone can give inputs on the same, it will be of great help. Regards, Pushpa

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
