Ok, here is my scenario.
I have several FE's each saving in their own BE. They are all the same but for different areas of our business. Each has around 20-30 users. I recently introduced another form into the FE that has linked tables to another different BE in another folder. Each FE out there with its own BE now has this form and all of the new forms save to the same (one) BE. Ok, got it?
Now, sure its possible to have them all together and I would anticipate someone suggesting this. Its split up to keep sizes down and performance up among other reasons.
In any event, here I am. All of the new form introductions went smoothly without a hitch. The last one however is causing trouble. On submit an e-mail is sent, the user is asked if they want to submit another form, and if yes a new record is created. If no the form is closed.
E-mails are always sent, no problem. The trouble is saving the record. All except one of the different FE's I have out there in different folders save the record into the table just fine. There is one though that does not do this. The mail is sent and the program behaves normally with no errors but the record is not saved. This does not happen to all users of this FE either. There are some users that work fine and the record is saved in the BE yet other users do not save the record. You can see the .ldb appear and disappear. Our IT dept has been through the permissions time and time again and tell me they are ok. The FE and main BE are in one folder while the BE that the new form talks to is in its own folder. Remember, this works fine for several other instances, its just the one that doesn’t save the record.
I did have a chance to see the permissions the other day and it seems a mess to me. They have users in individually, as they were set up initially and the same users are also in there in a group and maybe 2 groups. The permissions look a mess to me… they really do…. but that doesn’t necessarily mean they would not work and can be blamed. I have no control over this part and it drives me nuts!
What I have done...... copied a working FE from another area into the troubled folder. No good. I have removed the new form along with its linked tables and the record is saved. Put the form and linked tables back in and it stops saving again. The code compiles just fine. I have done compact and repairs.
Any thoughts or ideas out there??? If you need more info ask. I understand what I wrote but you might not LOL
