      From: greens@diamondsg.com              never, never, never do a changeto or an uncontrolled scan on the key fields       of a table.. what you get will NOT be what you expected, in many cases.. in       this case, you're creating key violations / duplicate records, because the       changes are being made one record at a time..              make a copy of the table, unkey it, make the changes, then rekey and reindex       when you're done..              --       Steven Green - Waldorf Maryland USA              Diamond Software Group       http://www.diamondsg.com/main.htm       Paradox Support & Sales              Diamond Sports Gems       http://www.diamondsg.com/gemsmain.htm       Sports Memorabilia and Trading Cards              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
