Hi,
I had posted the same problem in August 2010. We have been facing this problem over and over again and there doesnt seem to be any logical reason. Can you kindly look into this problem again. Here is the description.
I have a form A in which the name, registration number and other details of a student are stored.
I have another form B in which the name, registration number are imported from form A and marks of the student are stored.
I have a GRID view based on form B in which I use the lookup field for registration number from form A [NOT from form B] , and the marks from form B. The lookup field for name, registration number are NOT editable in the grid view since I am taking values from form A and not from form B
The marks are editable. our users just update the marks and click save [since it is a grid view].
View is private but the permalink [without login required] is given to our users so that they can edit the marks [maybe simultaneous as well]
Problem:
Registration Number field in form B gets blanked out - this has happened repeatedly since august 2010.
As a result, the grid view shows a row with blank name and registration number - however the marks are retained.
We are unable to reproduce the problem as we do not know how this happens. Technically there is so way that the registration number could be blanked out in form B.
The only way to fix this is by deleting the row with the blank name and then adding a new row for the associated students (whose numbers had been blanked out) and then manually entering the marks again. This is very tedious and error prone
Usage scenario:
Multiple people maybe editing via the grid view at the same time. All of them have the permalink to access the grid view without login. However they do not have access to add/delete the record. they can only edit
This maybe an error with the grid view. Kindly do get back to us ASAP
Thanks a lot
