Exporting 13 records, but getting 13*13 blank extra records?

[RodM]

Any idea.. why

 

I open my layout..  it has 13 records

I am doing a Export but getting 13 blank records in between the 13 exported records.. ending up with 13*13 +13 records?

 

I am exporting several other at the same... each works .. all code is the same but the individual difference]

 

Any idea...

Any repeating fields?  Are you including related fields in the export?

[RodM]

opened that file... i don't see any. repetive field..  usually looking down structure...a repeating file be [2]  bracketed right

 

 

my original file has 13 records

When I export... my exported file... picked up a link somehow to another file... wih all these others  fields.. weird

 

 

I have tried to attach my 9,700 Kb    fmp12 file...  but by itself didn't take... so I zipped it////

WHY is that?   another question.. some people ask why I zip a file..   thats why??

 

 

Anyways my file attached.. its the MEssages file... has 13 records.. Export gives me 140+ records and seeems to mix my Config file  has 13 records too

Thanks for your time   Rod

interesting///   I opened up my app.. started deleting records not needed esp this Message file..

. I have 2 default records left after all my accounts, clients msgs are gone..  

 

Now I tried to export....   I got the 2 defa records..  hoping it fixed things///

 

Something got linked?     

 

 

PS// never had the prob ver 9

[RodM]

Ok.. I added back my accounts and clients   took a few messages///

 

   Try the export script again...  Same prob

 

Weird... when I said i could export.. I did so manually..

 

When i tried my script    its only this file....  3 records turned into 500+ most all blank with some repetitive data in those blanks...   attached this simple script    

Open layout

show all

Export to a file named, 

the others are the same... comparing.. only with this on Message file

[RodM]

attached   the new Export structure  field exported..plus. see how its addiing fields...    coming from my Config file

Only one file attached. Can't be tested - you have supplied no user name or password. 

[bruceR]

Still the case that your file cannot be tested.

whoops/...  I need to get that handled...   sorry delay

[bruceR]

Doesn't seem to be happening.

the reason for this is because you have related FIELDS in your export order - you may try to save as excel instead.
