Deleting songs from Singer's Database

[ddouglass]

I have tried this and it works fine for me and the correct song was deleted. MTU has also looked at this and cannot duplicate it either. They can't fix something they can't duplicate.

I just tried to duplicate it and I couldn't either.

Did you sort by Title first before deleting?

It will work properly if you Don't Sort The List First


But If You Sort By TiTle Or Artist It Will Delete The Wrong Song.


Maybe Some Others Reading This Post Can Participate and Try It On There Computer And Report Back If It Works or Not.


I reported this months ago and seen other post on this?

Then what could be wrong if it does it in my computer and steve's which I'm sure there are others that haven't reported yet?

What a Mystery?

PS Before I sent This Post I Tried This Again (6) Six Times to (Love Is A Battlefield) Song And The Program Deleted (6) Six Other Song In That Singers Database And I'm Still Looking At Love Is A Battlefield.

If I Don't Sort A Field Like By Artist Or By Title Then It Will Delete The Song I'm Trying to Delete.

The Key Here Is Don't Sort The Field Before You Delete.

Hi Bryant

Did you sort the field first before deleting?

And how many songs are in the singers database you choose ( Don't tell Me One ) I chose one with 37 songs.

I'm going to try 10 to see if that makes a difference?

Dale
How many songs where in the one that you choose.

I used a small database, probably around three or four, and NO I did not sort first either. It looks like Dale has been able to recreate this, so that is a good thing now. MTU will definitely get it now.

I followed every step you posted and could not duplicate it.
Why yours and Steve's does it I don't know but it isn't happening here.

82 which is well over what can be fit on one screen.

OK I Found the Answer

I picked a singer with 18 songs and it deleted the song normaly after a sort.

I then picked a singer with 25 songs sorted the field and picked a song to delete, the song didn't delete but the program deleted another song in the list NOT the one I was Trying to Delete.

I continued this process from 25 songs down to 19 songs in the same list when I deleted Number 19 it started to delete the song intended from that point on with no problems after that.

So If You Have A List Of 20 Songs Or More this Problem Starts.

IF You Have 19 Songs and Under It Will Delete the song Intended with No Problems.

See If You Can Duplicate That

Oh, I was going to tell you that it only happens on big list. After I posted I saw that you had figured it out. I don't know how to delete a post after posting, so I deleted my explanation hence the "never mind".
