Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    The database could not find the data you requested

    I am suddenly getting the error "The database could not find the data you requested" whenever I press save. The first time that I save after login works. If I press a second time, I receive the error several times. I am using Microsoft SQL 2014 database. It has always worked until this week. Is it possible that a Windows update may have caused the issue?

      If this has been working right along and all of a sudden it has stopped working, something has changed. Did you do a windows update, change any code, alter something in the SQL tables. Were some changes made to the server if you are using a server? Code that was working doesn't just break.
      Is it possible this error already existed. One didn't know until a different sequence of keystrokes were entered?

        My initial response was simplistic because there wasn't a lot of information provided.
        I would certainly follow the code to make sure that the connection is successful, followed by the
        obvious easy things (column names and arguments).
        Use AA's database explorer as a tool.

          It usually relates to a failure on the primary key setting in the SQL by AA.

            It happens when I have a list open and set a procedure to do a lookup and replace on a field that is part of the list. I get the message the next time that I submit after that.

              Sounds like there's a lot of possibility for something to go wrong. I would step through the sql to make sure it's doing what you expect.

                There have been some date changes in Alpha. Are you using the nightly builds or sticking with the stable versions? I had a lot of date issues lately that appeared suddenly and required some redoing, but I'm testing nightly builds.

                  No need to redoing, just edit one field and resave, that will do it.

                    Thank you sorry for the delay. I found out that it was happening when I added a lookup field within a list detail field. I removed the lookup and the error went away.

                      I would guess that when the lookup was done somehow the primary key was blanked out. i've had that type of issue on lists with detail where I have to force entry of the primary key field.
