| This is a head scratcher.
Sometimes when going into Utilities, custom screen settings we get a error message ""The parameter is incorrect" and editing or adding names to the dropdown list is blank. Or sometimes the first three drop downs appear and the 4th one will not appear.
Thinking it some was some bad characters or spaces I deleted the offending section in pnttmpl\CUSTOM1.CSF.
So it would go from [Line 4]
Title=
Type=Disabled
Dropdown0=None
Dropdown1=name1
Dropdown2=name2
Dropdown3=name3
Dropdown4=name4
Dropdown5=name5
Dropdown6=name6
Dropdown7=name7
Dropdown8=name8
Dropdown9=name9
Dropdown10=name10
Dropdown11=name11
Dropdown12=name12
Dropdown13=name13
Dropdown14=name14
Dropdown15=
to
[Line 4]
Title=
Type=Disabled
Dropdown0=None
Dropdown1=name1
Dropdown2=
This didn't work so kept deleting other sections until it did work.
Restored the original CUSTOM1.CSF file to make sure and sure enough "The parameter is incorrect" came right back. So starting with the line one section [Line 1] to isolate the offending record I removed all entries to and didn't get the error. Just for fun I pasted all the lines back in and it still works! That is the original file with a cut and paste operation. So restored the original file, that works as well now. Hummmm.
Another backup copy of CUSTOM1.CSF from when this error appeared does cause the error and looking at it there is some strange data.
[Line 5]
Title=#1 %
Type=Percentage
[Line 6]
Title=#1 $
Type=Percentage
[Line 7]
Title=#2 %
Type=Percentage
[Line 8]
Title=#2 $
Type=Currency
[Line 9]
Any ideas?
It seems like if the custom screens settings has trouble parsing the CUSTOM1.CSF it will then write junk to the file wiping out the previous settings. Is there maybe some limit on the number of drops entries allowed?
The setup is client server so if one person is using the form and another is editing it could it cause this issue.
Thanks
Patrick
