04/19/2019 - Changes to Family File Validations
Changes were made to the "Utilities/Family File Validation" procedures in the reporting/recording of process results. The results of a "Pointers/Family Data/Duplicate Data" Validation request are shown in a "Counters" or "Duplicate Data Summary" view replacing the "Option" view in the lower right corner of the utility program form during the process. In the past, this was replaced with the "Option" view at the end of the process, though it could be restored by using the "Counters" button to toggle between the two views in that area. Now, if Errors or Matches are found, the results view will remain (and the "Counters" button will still toggle back to the "Option" view). Further, in the past the "Save" button that is active when the results view is shown would allow you to place the results (the ID numbers of Name records involved in the Errors or Matches) in a SELECT work file which could subsequently be used for printing reports about the involved Names. Now, when the SAVE option is chosen, the program will also create an "in memory" Selection Set that can be viewed from the Main Menu or FHSWUPDT forms, and in the FHSWUPDT form it can be used to easily View/Change the involved records.
The "FHSWIN-Help" folder entry that describes Main Menu "Utilities" has also been updated to document the change.
