Dictionary modification erases all records if GUID present

[dherron]

If I modify a table in the Disconnected Desktop demo app by altering a key to "unique" or adding a field and then attempt to upgrade the file structure using the "browse file" in the dictionary editor all records are erased.

I have replicated this on other Disconnected Desktop dictionaries on two installations of Clarion 10 12463  (NT9.25 and 9.26)

If I do this on non-Disconnected Desktop dictionaries it works as expected.

What am I forgetting to do?

Hi Dermot,

there's nothing "special" about a disconnected dictionary. I mean, they are just fields and keys.
If the dictionary converter is not working then I suspect some other factor is in play...
