I have a query that is not running like it should. Within this query, under 'Actions', I have checked the box that says "Execute a script for each record". The scripting that pertains to this is only two lines long - the first line clears the current value from a field and the second line recalculates this field value. When I go to 'Test Query' it works perfectly. I have a variable set up in my main scripting (records from query). When I added some additional data to the program and ran the main code, it appears that the query is not actually running (this assumption is based on the fact that none of the records have been recalculated). Why is the query not running?

I did go back and add a third line of code to the query scripting - to 'Refresh' the newly updated field but nothing changes so I am not sure that the query is even running.

Tubbritt instructed me earlier on how to debug the queries but now I cannot even find the query in the 'Script Designer' - I can easily access them through the 'Query Editor' though... where did they go to?

Not sure what is happing with out bbd file but when I have a script that is not performing as intended I insert mesage box(s) actions in different parts of script to see value of a variables (and if that section is actually being run). You could use the debug function but message box seems easier and so for always solved problem for me. One warning here - keep amount of test records under 10 or so unless you want to press ok a million times or crash program t o break out of any loops. If there is chance of a never ending loop try to add a if action that would break loop ( eg, IF Current Time > Now +60 seconds?).

tamicnd,
Is it possible to use something similar if one is curious about what is going on in a records from query. The 'test query' button produces the exactly what it is supposed to do; however, the problem I was having is that the query did not seem to be running properly when used in the body of the scripting itself.

I still cannot find the queries on the Debugging menu as I would like to step through them to see what is actually happening. I am certain that I saw them earlier when James Tubritt before instructed me where to look but I cannot see any of them now???
