V4RB Import/Export

[Cindy Brown]

Hi All,

I am trying to utilise the import/export facility to allow customers to fix
their databases from within the program. XML dump does not work because if
their is an error such VARChar -351, the XML dump fails. Exporting each
baseobject's data, removing the .dat, .ind and .blb files, recreating the
database and then importing each exported file, fixes the database and it
works fine.

The problem is this, my ID code is made up of characters up to 128
(excluding normal problem characters such as right arrow, etc.) but the
export/import facility does not export and import some of these characters
correctly. In fact, it leaves them out altogether. Is this a problem with
valentina or is there some other method I could use to accomplish this fix.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cindy
