Suspected abnormal behavior of Filemaker

Featured Replies

Hello,

I have a problem with a text field (Customer full name) in a registration table on my file. The problem start wend I create a new record and type a customer name, Filemaker freeze and the sand clock appears. This has never happen before.

If I disable the (Auto-complete using previously entered values) the problem disappears. Perhaps my file is corrupted?

Field settings:

Text

Indexed

Edit Box

Auto-complete using previously entered values

Windows

FM v8.5

I appreciate any help

Thanks.

can you post the file to see if the problem is reproducible elsewhere? You could try deleting the index and re-indexing.

Does it hang if you choose Insert...From Index.

If you make a clone of the file and then start adding new records, does the crash go away?

It doesn’t hang wend I insert from index

After deleting the index in and re-index the field the problem go away.

Is this common in Filemaker ? Or this can be a sing of corruption in my file?

If in fact my file is corrupted, is there a way of fix the file without rebuilding the solution?
