OpenFile Issue

[Pete Schuder]

As you may well tell, I am struggling getting  acclimated to using Pan
again.  Here is problem.  I have two files open, one being the main file
(FileA) and the second being a lookup file (FileC).  I want to saveas the
main file to another name so I can delete some records without losing them
in the original file.  After manipulating the new saveas file (FileB), I
want to close it and then go back to FileA and its datasheet.  I thought
this was a simple procedure since the secondary file (FileC) stays open, so
I am not closing Panorama off when I close the saveas file.

 

I did the following:

Save  (This saves the original FileA)

SaveAs "FileB"

Do my manipulations
Save

CloseFile

Openfile "FileA"

GoSheet

 

What happens is Panorama tells me that FileA is already open and to come
back later.  When I do the saveas to FileB, FileA closes, so I am confused
by the message.

 

I am using PC Panorama version 4.02

 

Thanks,

 

Pete Schuder
