"Unknown Field Type" RRW.INI Fix?

Post by Mark_LaBarre_(Guest) » Mon Jun 18, 2001 6:03 pm

Per RRW 8.0 help:____"If you try to report on tables containing fields with unsupported data types, you will get the following error:__ TABLE CONTAINS UNKNOWN FIELD TYPE__In order to create reports on tables containing fields with unsupported data types, insert the following entry in the [Defaults] section of the RRW.INI file:___IgnoreU=1__With this setting, R&R ignores the unsupported fields."____The error message is being generated by a VFP Field Type "DOUBLE"; it goes away when I change the field type in my copy of the table to straight NUMERIC. Can^t modify the client^s system though.____I made the above change and rebooted, and still get the same error. Is there a fix/patch or is the help text just wrong?____Thanx__Mark LaBarre__QA Lead, Clinical Applications__SoftMed Systems, Inc.__

We had a new copy of 8.1 and I see in the readme file, it says "addresses the issue of double field type with 9 decimals, as for SBT Accounting..."____Bingo!____Thanks__Mark L
