Deleting from Client

Problem

In the multi-user version of Goldenseal accounting software version 3.2, creating a new record on the client and then deleting it immediately gives an error message on the server.

Once you click the message on the server everything runs fine, but it's annoying if the server is in a remote location.

Caught By

User bug report.

Workaround

If you turn off the Allow Data Entry in Server option in Network preferences, you won't get the error message.

Solution

Fixed in Goldenseal multi-user accounting software, version 3.3.

Technical Details

A recent programming change delayed the saving of files on the server, which greatly reduces the chances of getting dangling "dud" records. However there was some other code that checked for a valid record, and started giving errors because nothing was there yet. That is now tuned for the new conditions.
