Opening DBF file - deleted records included, field formats ignored

[nicholassmall]

When a DBF file is opened, deleted records are loaded as if they are ordinary records, which should not happen.

It would also be helpful if the field formats stored in the DBF file were taken more into consideration, so that integers are loaded as integers.

When you delete a record in TextMaker, it doesn't delete it. It just hides it, so you can restore it later.
If you really want to delete it, go to TextMaker | Mailings | Edit database | Delete | Purge Database

Regarding the integers, I'll report it to the developers.

What you say is true, but misses the point. There is no indication in PlanMaker that they are deleted records.

If the file is opened in Libre Office or Excel then the deleted records are excluded.

1. I'll mention the info you just told me about excel and libre
2. Workaround for integers until we fix it: right-click on column A in the preview and choose ‘Standard’

The DBF file deleted records will no longer be shown in PlanMaker in the next service pack.
