Btrieve Insert Error [Archive] - ForumsHQ

[Satan]

For some reason, after I created a new class, and a new title text block, compiled the files and loaded the board I got the most retarded Btrieve Insert Error 5 On File .\WCCTEXT2.DAT



Any suggestions on how to remedy this error? The board will only run for about 5 minutes before the error comes up, but I'm not sure if it's just the fact that I've got a lvl 15 abused hero with the title Dingbat. (only a test mind you).

You sure it's a error 5?

Because Btrieve Error 5 for Worldgroup is:



The record has a key field containing a duplicate key value.

The MicroKernel cannot add or update a record because the record has a key field that contains a duplicate key value for an index that does not allow duplicate values.



and this is from my dev kit docs.

ok. i've managed to rectify the problem by removing ALL my edits (i almost cried, had some good monsters and areas done.) but i'm still curious exactly what went wrong?

I can really only think of a couple things that could have went wrong. For one, I'm guessing the update file tried to call a record that it couldn't find and then when it tried to insert it the thing said it was already there. I prolly would have tried deleting that textblock you made for the new class and then firstly assigning it an existing one, seeing if that worked, and then make a new one again.
