Hi,
ReplyDeleteworked like a charm!
For some reason the "Automatic Declaration" was checked (probably an Error 30...) in one of my livbraries and caused this annoying behavour.
Kind regards

Hey, even though this a year old and applies to 2010, it helped me solve the same exact problem on 2013. Thanks so much for idea to turn on the Manual record declaration: Available in All Locations by Default. That led me to removing the declaration and deleting the file. We have had those files in the system for a year and could never get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thank you! Thank-you!!!
Thank you. It worked like a charm for me.
