[Over a weekend, I created a High School Progress Report program. It simply takes a record of student-class(teacher) and adds a comment field. It navigates to the record by teacher, then class and the teacher can scroll thru class, student by student adding comments. Comments are then printed by student.] The principal loved it, and disregarding advice, demanded it be implemented in 4 days. No testing. confused.gif

UI was in one file - data in another - in Server 7. Teachers accessed it thru RDC.

Day one - comments started disappearing. Gone. Not all of them.

Day two - I did the following - all at once:

1) Changed script that navigates student to Flush Cache at every change

2) Turned off Disconnect from Server time out

3) Redid the File Reference to the data file. Before and after: File:SHS-Data.fp7

Problem is gone (I hope). Question? Does anyone have a theory of what was happening? Thanks.

I can't say to much, because I have not seen any of the files or code but it may have been a commit problem. You placed in the wrong spot or did not place a commit step in your scripts.
