0613 -
061301 - Examin Wayne's Contacts
061302 -
061303 - Follow up ref SDS 10 4400.
061304 -
061305 - Downloaded hs.zip from the web site, which Wayne created per ideas in
061306 - the record on 980806. ref SDS 10 2064
061307 -
061308 - Used xcopy to move my contacts to...
061309 -
061310 -                      c: sd 09
061311 -
061312 -     ...and also to...

061314 -                      i: sd 09
061315 -
061316 - Unzipped Wayne's Contacts.
061317 -
061318 - Here is what happened.
061319 -
061320 -   The problem is that we blew out the D summary when we tried to save
061321 -   Wayne's DNRC record.
061322 -
061323 -   I will just go through and update all of his records.
061324 -
061325 - Here is a problem with the SDS update process.
061326 -
061327 -   The following is the Contact template for making a new organization
061328 -   record...
061329 -
061330 -                        h: sd 09 02 00 00 00 00
061331 -
061332 -      ...because this is a Contact file, it is not normally included
061333 -      in any program update.
061334 -
061335 -      Wayne has the correct Help file for the Contact format.
061336 -
061337 -      I copied the correct file for creating a new Contact.
061338 -
061339 - Looks like I have to go through all of the Contact records and
061340 - conform them to the new format.
061341 -
061342 - Does the "file open" feature support Contacts, as well as SDS and DMS
061343 - records?
061344 -
061345 -                         SDS = s
061346 -                         DMS = d
061347 -                         CNS = c
061348 -
061349 -  ..
061350 -
061351 - Actually, it doesn't, so I modified the program to open contact
061352 - records from a conventional file list, and assign Contact profile so I
061353 - can use F2 to save the records in order to reconstruct the D contact
061354 - summary.
061355 -
061356 - I opened and modified contact records up to about 190, and noticed
061357 - that these are all old Welch Contacts.  This is especially evident by
061358 - the date of the files that are prior to 1992.
061359 -
061360 - As a result, decided to just update records that have a date past
061361 - 1996, this indicates a record Wayne has used within the past two
061362 - years.
061363 -
061364 -  ..
061365 -
061366 - Wayne should consider creating new records by replacing old ones that
061367 - are no longer needed.  It appears about 90% of the Contacts are old
061368 - records that can be replaced.
061369 -
061370 - Another idea is that if Wayne really only has 10 to 20 records he is
061371 - using, we should just create a new set of Contacts for him.  This
061372 - would reduce the ability to look up records using by Contact, but if
061373 - this is not a major part of his practice, it makes sense to create a
061374 - new set of Contacts.
061375 -
061376 -    0485  Bureau of Land Management     - investigate this record
061377 -
061378 -      This record was mixed up.
061379 -
061380 -         Jim Bianando was shown as the record identification on line
061381 -         "00" at the top of the record.
061382 -
061383 -         I changed the name to "BLM" and moved Jim to line 0101, which
061384 -         would mean he is a top person in the organization at the
061385 -         address for this contact record.  There is no title for Jim
061386 -         and no phone, so the entire entry may be some kind of SDS
061387 -         error where a line got mixed into a record where it does not
061388 -         belong, so Wayne needs to check this.
061389 -
061390 -
061391 - Completed modifying the records.
061392 -
061393 - Tested the loading DNRC's record and it worked.  Also tested by
061394 - filling out a Doc Log where DNRC is the "From" field.  This worked
061395 - because I added an "Internet" address field, as shown in Help for
061396 - Contacts.
061397 -
061398 - Zipped Wayne's records and returned them as ww.zip.
061399 -
061400 - Restored my records.
061401 -
061402 -  ..
061403 -
061404 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0000 with corrected records, linked this record
061405 - for information.
061406 -
061407 -       Instructions to Install Corrected Records
061408 -
061409 -       Plan is to save your original records, at least for awhile, at
061410 -       another location, and install the revised records.
061411 -
061412 -       1.  You already have the existing records zipped in hs.zip.
061413 -
061414 -           If you deleted that file after uploading to the web site,
061415 -           then create it again, per instructions in the record on
061416 -           980806. ref SDS 10 2064
061417 -
061418 -           Save hs.zip to a temporary directory, say...
061419 -
061420 -                            c: 09 or 10
061421 -
061422 -           Alternatively, use xcopy and just duplicate your sd 09
061423 -           records on c:, as follows:
061424 -
061425 -                        C>xcopy h:\sd\09 c:\sd\09\ /s  [Enter]
061426 -
061427 -               ...this allows you to check the originals, it seems that
061428 -               something I did is incorrect in a particular record.
061429 -
061430 -               ...you can delete this temp stuff in a few weeks or a
061431 -               month when you feel confident the revised records are
061432 -               not missing anything.
061433 -
061434 -       2.  Remove your existing Contact records on h: as follows...
061435 -
061436 -                        C>dd h:\sd\09    [Enter]  (say yes)
061437 -           ..
061438 -       3.  Install corrected records...
061439 -
061440 -                        C>zu -P -d -n ww h:\ *.*  [Enter]
061441 -
061442 -             [On 980710 Wayne had problems because this command is
061443 -             incorrect, it should not have "-P" since that is only for
061444 -             zipping up files. ref SDS 11 0000]
061445 -
061446 -
061447 -  ..
061448 - Incorrect SDS Subdirectory
061449 -
061450 - Wayne reports that the following has been created on his system...
061451 -
061452 -                     C:\sd\10\SD\01
061453 -
061454 -      ...per his letter received today. ref DRT 1 8477
061455 -
061456 - I am not sure how this happened, but happens inadvertently, somehow
061457 - installing an updated program.
061458 -
061459 - We checked yesterday and found that the number and size of the total
061460 - files for SDS on Wayne's computer is the same as on mine, so that
061461 - indicates whatever has occurred previously, he now has the correct
061462 - code.
061463 -
061464 - Therefore, he should delete the sd 01 directory with following
061465 - command...
061466 -
061467 -                        C>dd c:\sd\10\sd  [Enter]  (say yes)
