[comp.sys.mac.misc] 4th Dimension save problem

kyt@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu (Kok Yong Tan) (02/22/91)

I have this problem with a project using 4D:  I use the following scripts:

     DEFAULT FILE([filename])  ` filename varies depending on the file used
     New Record                ` a sub procedure

and New Record is just:

     REPEAT
     	  ADD RECORD
     UNTIL (OK = 0)

It works for all of my files except one.  On that one, it refuses to save.  The
input layout pops up, I enter the data and when I use 4D's default "Enter" key
to save the data, nothing happens: it doesn't clear the screen and put another
blank input layout there as it does with all my other files.  I've used the
debugger and according to it, the correct version of the script is being used.
It just refuses to save.  I've checked Password protection and it's "All
Groups" for this file and every other file (I haven't bothered to make up
special groups yet since this is still in the implementation stage.)  I've
called up ACIUS and they are mystified ("This is weird. Send us a copy." is
what I got out of them.)  While I send the structure file to them and wait for
US Snail to get its act together, has anyone ever encountered this problem
before?  If so, any workarounds?  I'm going slowly crazy here.  Thanks in
advance.
