IQ says "Loadin"...What do I do now?

Submitted by davet on 2011/05/05 16:24
Okay...I committed to start using IQ for doing some real planning. I created a grid called Projects and I started building some work breakdown structures. The next day when I tried to reload the Project grid, all I get is a message "Loadin." What do I do now?

it looks like you can load the db but not this grid -
try:
menu: Tools >Database Management >Repair
 
and/or
try a restart (of IQ)
 
after that you need the pros!

This looks like a bug I already had and that reappears from time to time. The cure is to close the offending grid and just reopen it. Did you try that when it happened ?
 
Of course, it could be that something happened to your grid config, but it would be very surprising as it's rare.

lol, I didnt think of simply closing & reopening the grid
 
At this stage - no matter what programme I'm using, when things go wrong, one of my first lines of repair is a programme restart.
Not hi-tech but it works an awful lot of the time

I think I tried closing and reopening the db and the grid before doing the repair...but am not sure anymore.

I've also had a crisis with IQ this week, and had a borked upgrade of Directory Opus, followed by a potentially borked uninstall of same, followed by two installs of the new version instead of one (long story, or a short one of stupidity on my behalf - I have to reboot again to see what exactly is going to happen now - hopefully nothing unusual). Anyways, each time, I'm trying to describe it afterwards in a forum & I'm thinking did I do this or that, and what exactly did happen then
 
It would be great if there was an background-app that kept track of all the windows' titles, and scraped the text off all the dialogue boxes, and of course it would have to recognise tabs too...
then you just check in later and see what exactly did happen...
 

Experienced that problem today. Just closing the weird empty grid and reopening it solved the problem.
 
However, the word wrap settings were gone and I had reactivate it for some columns.
 
this was reported a while ago but I don't know how to reproduce it :
