upgrading to 8 -fields no longer accessible on prev records

[ITOjim]

Just got the 8 upgrade and was testing the backup files first and ran into a problem where the fields from all of the previous records are not accessible.

When you open the Invoice dbase you can see all 1200 records but you see no text in the fields and they are not a selectable item. If you try to select a field and type into it you get the prompt indicating that you should select a field first.

However, if I create a new invoice it works fine and I can see everything.

There is a secondary issue that we have been living with since the upgrade to 7 that I should mention as well (same database)

We have an area for multiple types of labor charges. It has 3 repeating fields and one text field:

Labor Account code- drop down list of the code (repeating)

Description-You select the above and this is automatically entered (repeating)

Hourly rate- same as description

Qty- Txt entry

You pick the code (it actually shows the code & brief description) and it populates everything and dumps you into the QTY field.

Here is the problem, the first row works fine, the remainder only populate the code not anything else.

Here is the rub, we have the identicle thing for the materials and it works fine.

The first issue is the most important, but I would love to fix the second while I was at it.

Any help would be appreciated.

check the indexing for thoose fields that wont show, you may need to turn it on. I had a similar problem.
