Hi,
I'm looking for advice and/or opinions on this method :
A user can display a list of clients sorted by name and date of birth in a subfile. If all the names and dates of birth are equal for two clients, the user has an option that will merge the 2 clients into one. This means that one client number will become obsolete. There are about 30 different files in which the obsolete client number is replaced by the remaining client number. After confirmation by the user, the program loops through a file that contains the files to be updated. For each file information is extracted to create and execute an SQL update. If an error occurs on the update, a message will be displayed to the user but the program continues the updates on the remaining files. The user will see at the end that at least one file update failed. We've just had a case where this happened, and I must say I am rather surprised at this method of merging the clients in an interactive application, but I am at a loss to think of a better way.
I am interested to read how others have resolved this problem.
