Re: Importing

Could someone tell me what the message 'not all records could be compared on basis of date stamp' means when I import a survey.
Does that mean it will not import all the changes that have been made to an existing data set?

Thanks

Janet

Re: Importing

Hi Janet
In most of the tables, there are values kept for each record that indicate the date the record was created and the date the record was last updated. These are used when you press the All Latest button to work out whether to keep the imported copy or your local copy. This message just means that some of the records could not be processed in this way because the tables do not contain the required information to compare on the basis of date. They should remain in the list afterwards for you to check through manually anyway, so once you have done that the actual import will still be comlpete.

Let me know if that isn't clear!

Best Wishes
