I am still losing Table data, backgrounds in particular, in publishing with T. Whether this is a Table Issue, a hangover issue from a dataset started in R, a new problem, or a hiccup --- I can' say yet. It has happened twice, so once again I have disabled the cleanup option.

By clicking on the cell and the background colour, nothing happened. By adding the right colour with the cell editor, applying, (getting the colour background but winding up with a border around the cell), going back in and removing the cell colour, ....the background colour came back.

I then published with cleanup off, and all is well.

On another data set, it was hanging until I changed the "remembered" password. This has happened 3 times.

Hi Muzzy/Robert,

There very well could be a problem with the Tables, they are still in development to a degree. If there is specific bug that you can reproduce please let us know how to do it.

As for the hanging issue. Is this an FTP problem you are referring to?

I was rather in a Tom Dooley frame of mind, but it was an FTP issue. It would start to publish, then hang the whole system. And then along came Ctrl, Alt, Del to save the day.

I re-entered the password based on information provided; once again disabled the clean-up feature, and fell asleep at my desk contented.

My client, a financial planner, is very happy with the financial pages in RTF/SVG. So please accept my kudos for an under-developed table.

Cheers,
Muzz

Hi Guys,

Permit me to be a bit informal here. There is a bug with the black and white HTML data which I am working on right now, but a)this is what you can do to deadly dull financial data (final edition), and b) it was done with your 99 lb. wealkling table --- (some weakling):

Thanks for the help along the trail,

Hi Robert,

Sorry, I am not too clear on this. Are you saying that you cannot Publish?


- Derry

It would seem that it was losing my password. In other words, before disabling clean-up, I re-entered my password on each of the three times it "hung" and that solved the problem.

Since I have disabled clean-up, I have had no problems. Frankly, I haven't had the courage to experiment further. First losing the table background (different data set) and then the refusual to publish -- and hanging the system at the same time -- was more than I could put up with.

I don't know. This is a data set I started in "R," persevered with through "S," and finished in "T." The code very well could have some residual bugs in it after that journey.

Take this for what you will. As a geophysicist I spent a big chunk of my career taking programs from the research department, finding bugs, and working with the programmers debugging them before releasing them for production. After awhile you get a "feel" for things and I don't have a good feeling about "T." R was a very good beta release; T is not.

Not exactly scientifically helpful; just the perspective of wisdom and much experience. I come up with the most utterly goofball items at times, but underneath it all.....
