Duplicate entries in Description Field. How? Why?
Hi,

I'm running LinksSQL and in one of my categories nearly all the links (23 out of 24) have the same description. They didn't always have the same description but something went haywire.

If I try to modify any of these links' descriptions I get the following error message:


Error: Unable to Modify Links

There were problems modifying the record: The requested record was not found in the database, or there was an error modifying the record

Status (Invalid format)


Tried Re-Index and Build All, but still wasn't able to modify the descriptions in these links.

I have no idea how to proceed.

Hi Douglas,

I'm not sure about the descriptions, but the Status error is a regexpression problem.

Go to Table Maintenance->Links->Edit Table Definitions.

Change the Validate field for Status to:

^\-?\d*\.?\d*$

and it should work fine.

Cheers,

Alex
