File load error

Post by remerson »

When I attempt to restart my Data Entry Application to continue creating the data entry form, I get the following error message: "Unable to load Visible groups of Flow 'FAWS_FF' ". The name of the data entry application is FAWS; the name of the data dictionary is FAWS; and the name of the forms file is FAWS. All are in the same directory. I am running the latest version of CSPro (4.1). I have restarted this in the past without a problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

I've never seen this message before. It could have something to do with the shared names, but I highly doubt it. If possible, can you send the application to me and I can take a look at it: gregory.martin@census.gov

You might also test running the application in both operator- and system- controlled modes. Does the message appear in both instances?

For those who are curious, this was a bug in CSPro that occurred when a user deleted the default form created for you when you create a data entry program, and then undid the deletion. This resulted in two forms with the same name being saved to the .fmf form file, which caused a problem when loading the file.

The new version to be released shortly, CSPro 5, has a fix so that this bug does not occur. In the meantime, for anyone who faces this problem, you can send your form file to me and I'll fix it, or if you feel comfortable, you can edit the form file and make sure that all the names under each [Group] heading are unique.

I also face this error more then 5 times.
I will explain how to solve this problem, but I am a user not a developer.
1. Backup
2. Open *.fmf Form file with Text Editor such as "Notepad", "Notepad++". To do that first Open Notepad and Drag and Drop *.fmf file to Notepad.
3. Delete Latest form u created. ! Carefully delete all data related with that form [Form]xxxxx [End Form]and [Group] [Endgroup]

Eg. to delete Form 45


[Form]
Name=FORM045
Label=Page 2
Level=1
Size=978,1111


Box=67,757,790,886,Thin
Box=67,833,790,834,Thin
Box=131,757,196,886,Thin
Box=304,757,411,886,Thin

Box=642,757,713,886,Thin
