Duplicated a Layout, still thinks it has original's fields!

[krempch]

:o

I copied a Layout that had a ton of client fields on it, then deleted everything I didn't need for the new task. Visually, It looks like I need it - just the handful of target fields.

However, When I go to EXPORT RECORDS or Save Records as Excel, it looks like it still thinks it has the original's entire field set, plus 'copies' of some of the fields.

For example:

Running EXPORT RECORDS, The 'Specify Field Order for Export" dialog lists the correct Current Layout name (It should have about 20 fields). It shows the entire field set from the original.

When the output dumps out, I am getting duplicates of certain fields and the displays as [color:blue](1)client_name and [color:blue](2)client_name when I go to sort my Excel file.

This is being done on FM9 Server from an FM 8 workstation ...

Any insights?

I created a second panel to experiment with.

Here is what I discovered.

If I use the SELECT ALL menu command to grab all the fields on the original (or use the Left Click & DRAG method to select field groups), the behavior described above occurs. Baggage, baggage, Baggage!

If I individually select each field using Shift|Left Click, and then paste them to the new Layout, they transfer over correctly - no baggage, no references to fields I don't need.

... I would still like an explanation of what

happened, so please keep mulling this over.

Thanks.
