Topic: File Save and Delete
I'm using a FILE field to save my files. I set the properties as follows:
COPY TO = Files and TYPE = LinkFile
-
This works fine and does what I want. And I can open up the file and edit it if I need to.
-
However, say I have a yearly license form that I want to save. I would like to replace the old license with the new copy.
-
I click on the FILE disk Icon and get a dropdown to OPEN FILE, OPEN FOLDER WITH FILE AND CLEAR.
When I choose CLEAR, it asks me Do you really want to delete the file from the database?
-
I answer yes and it clears the file name from the FILE field.
Then I hit save and I'm done.
Next I come back to the FILE field and ADD a new FILE to this same record.
It adds the file and puts the copy in the FILES folder as it should.
-
However the old file is still in the FILES folder.
-
It looks to me like if I did this with a number of Files that I would have extra files in the FILES folder that are orphans and don't belong to any particular record.
-
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks, Frank
