Hi all:

Because of issues in one of my data files I ran a validate on a copy
of the file. An abbreviated version of the validate error log:

---------------------

"QDF:
Unknown ErrorUnknown ErrorDamaged index list."

"Unknown ErrorDamaged data block." (76 of those)

"Unknown ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown
ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown
ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown ErrorUnknown ErrorValidating
the QDF file."

"Missing extra info for transaction: "(ACCOUNT NAME)" (DATE)
(There were 77 of those, e.g., Missing extra info for transaction:
"Scudder" 7/31/1997, Missing extra info for transaction: "Scudder"
6/30/1997)


"QEL:
No read errors."

"QEL:
All internal consistency checks passed."

---------------------

There were two hidden accounts involved in the "Missing extra info for
transaction" errors. Looking at the registers for those two accounts
the entries flagged looked to be fine and correct. I did notice,
however, that if I clicked on the "edit" button for a register entry
flagged as "Missing extra info for transaction" in the log the edit
screen came up with the correct action information (e.g., "ReinDiv")
but the rest of the screen was blank. Further, if I closed out that
blank edit screen and then clicked on the edit button a second time
the screen came up completely and properly filled in.

I haven't tried it yet but I'm thinking (hoping) that if I work
through all the "Missing extra info for transaction" errors, clicking
"edit", closing the resulting blank screen, clicking "edit" again and
accepting the transaction again that the data file will be put to
rights.

Thoughts? Advice? Commiseration?

The blank edit screen when first clicking on transactions may have
been a red herring, perhaps an artifact of the fact that the file was
password protected for transactions when I was first looking at them.
When I removed the password protection and then clicked the edit
button the transactions came up properly filled in.
