- Hi all,
-
- Im having a Cheese of a time trying to preserve deleted records
- when appending from one file to another. The conversion program
- Ive written modifies a DBF file slighlty (the odd field is added,
- or subtracted). Therefore I append into my new structure. But if
- I do it with Set Deleted off, the deleted records pass over, but
- lose their deleted status. If I do it with Set Deleted On, I lose
- the deleted records altogether. How do I preserve deleted status
- when appending ?
-
- Any thoughts ?
-
- Cheers
