Problem 9.0.6 with rebuild and user settings

Hi Jon,

I just found out that when i do a "rebuild (keep user settings)" the user settings are... not kept... Alos encountered an 'out of bound' error. Anyway, not sure if this has something to do with the 9.0.6 update or it is a problem in my computer.

Best,
Gerben

Hi Gerben,

What does Verify say? If the user settings aren't kept, it probably means the table that contains that data can't be recovered.

Try repairing the database, then rebuilding it. I think that may work for you.

Hi Jon,

Verify says all is ok. The rebuild was actually a pre-emptive maintenance i sometimes perform. Anyway, i repaired the database (no problems) and tried a rebuild with that file: settings are not kept again.

I then tested my two other databases with interesting results:
- one showed exactly the same problem (and is a week old with only 3 refs)
- a second one did not open at all, instead i received this error message:

Database Engine Error: Database version is "512". But the current version is "560".

So it seems the problem affects all my db's.

Please zip and send me the 3 ref db and the one that gives you the error (that will be fixed with a repair, BTW). I would like to examine them.

Thanks for the files.

Actually, the groups *are* retained after the rebuild when you keep user settings. However, some code that updated the List View window was inadvertently removed, so you don't see the groups until you close and reopen the database. I've restored the code, and will upload a new build this evening.
