Creating new field kills grid

Submitted by alysse on 2008/12/05 12:19
This is the second time that tis has happend. But here is what happens. I create a new fied in an existing grid, save & close the manage field box. I go to close the grid to reopen & refresh it but do not actually reopen it. The grid tab shrinks to the size of the grid icon losing the grid name & stays that way. Status indicates that it is updating the column.
 
If I click on the grid that used to be the grid in question, it is completely empty. Closing & reopening IQ gives me back the grid, but all the fields are gone. I can recover by simply restoring the shown fields.
 
I think that maybe I did not wait long enough for the field to be updated before closing the grid, though I cannot say for sure. Screen shots included.
 
Thanks, al

Referencing relative file locations when using InfoCube on a stick

Love using the portable version, but I do have a problem referencing mht files that I create as I move the stick to different computers with different a different amount of drives or drive mappings. At the moment, I am building the database completely on a stick & the mht files also reside on the same stick.
At some point these mht files will reside in a fixed location on a network drive and perhaps I should have started out that way.

Until I get a handle on IQ, I'm using the Inbox for all my work.  However I added some fields.
One of them is 'Journal'
Journal is a boleean field yes / no
Back in the inbox I create an item with today's date & I add notes in the html window tthat describe my day
I check 'Journal'
Now I went to the current grid titled 'Journal'
I added a colum from my field 'Journal'
This column is not filtered, ie.
