Value List Corruption

Here is what I was doing lets see if anyone can help.

  • First I created 4 value lists in File 1 (logicFile)
  • Second in File 2 I created 4 values lists using the exact same names as the lists in the other file that pointed to the original lists
  • Third I wanted to add another list in File 1 so I went into the define Value List and selected one that had a similar name to the one I was going to create hit Duplicate and then I lost all my lists

Now the value list screen in both files shows blank lines File 1 has 5 lists and file 2 has 4 blank lines where the lists were.

My speculation is that when I duplicated the Value List for some reason it may have keept the same list name which is causing FMP to not recognize any of them. This is just a guess though.

I am not as concerned about the logic file(file 1) as I am with File 2. It is my main file I would not want any corruption in it.

What I have tried so far

  • Tried deleting the value lists, did nothing
  • Doing a DDR Report, shows for all 5 lists
  • Taking File 1 offline and trying to repair it was no help

If anyone has any suggestions or has experienced this before please let me know.

Scratch that, Recovering the file caused all the value lists to be reset so now I have 0 in my recovered file.

I am going to restore a backup of the logic file, the second File, I am sure File 2 will have to be restored from backup as well
