*sigh* Serjeant/Sergeant cannot be ADDED

Postby the Ol'Line Rebel » Mon Jul 02, 2007 6:37 am

Here we go again with all the locking-up problems.

This time: a horse with the wrong spelling.

SERGEANT is definitely in the DB, b. c. 1781, winner of the Derby. Strangely, I could update him to to mention the Derby (which wasn't there before). However, he really has the wrong spelling, and should be deleted and replaced with...

SERJEANT (J instead of G).

There is no "Serjeant" officially listed in the DB; it thinks it's not there when querying.

HOWEVER, upon trying to CREATE "Serjeant", we are told it is LOCKED and cannot be changed!!!!

As a searcher, I see no Serjeant to be locked!


AAAAaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhh!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Frankly, I am sick of this locking stuff. Can you tell?

See my post about "software glitch" - I think this may be a programming issue.

OK, this 1 I was able to work around by deliberately entering "Serjeant2". Scratch this; I've changed everything accordingly.

This has been fixed, and Serjeant2 has been deleted.
