This script searches the "Order Entry" layout for Order Numbers for a current Run Date and exports the File.

It then goes to a "SearchResults" Table (which is not linked to the "Order Entry" Table). Deletes Records from previous Searches and imports the the files containing the Order Numbers. Then it goes to "TeamEimages" (which is not linked to the "Order Entry" Table). Deletes Records from previous Searches and imports the the resulting text file from the Send Event command (it reads a folder of images).

The results are compared on the SearchResults layout which is linked to the TeamEimages layout.

Problem:

2 out of 8 weeks the script has deleted a few thousand records from the Order Entry layout, although the Delete Records Command is directed at either the "SearchResults" layout or "TeamEimages" layout.

Any help appreciated.

I am not exactly sure where the issue is but I definately see that you need to put in some steps for error trapping. Currently there are no checks for find failures, empty sets, import errors, etc. I think you should add in a GetLastMessageChoice check as well for your message window.

Quite right, I should have some error trapping in there.
