We are running 9.0.3 imma

Is upgrading an option?

[Rich Brady]

Thought I'd put you out of your misery.

I'm glad you've got my back. I wouldn't want to come across as an idiot LOL

[SpecTech]

its a posibility I can talk to my manager about it, however that would be a last resort is there not a fix in the mean time? should I try giving actinic a call?

[Rich Brady]

I'd imagine they'd say upgrading to the latest maintenance release is the fix.

[SpecTech]

would it be worth hanging on until v10 is stable and switching then?

[Rich Brady]

It's your choice, but you will be importing a buggy snapshot into the new release, whcih could create more problems.

V9.05 Will fix this bug from what I gather:

[SpecTech]

so importing it into 9.0.5 should fix the issues

[Rich Brady]

I've seen this before. Particularly whan the Variable was associated with a Choice. Actinic fixed the bug in 9.0.4 or 9.0.5 (at least for the duplicated appearance on Choices).

I beleive so, you could ask Actinic to confirm or read the release notes or download it onto a different PC and test yourself.

Here http://community.actinic.com/showthr...518#post275518 is the post where the problem (at least with variables on Choices) was reported fixed in 9.0.4.

im just installing 9.0.5 onto another machine and will import a backup of the problem site and see how it goes.

[AndyBorrett]

I am afraid that 9.05 may not solve your problem as I have the same problems with the latest version. I only ever get two rather than three showing up and they always show for variables related to fragments. Deleting
the variAble then adding it again seems to
solve it but as you say, it can be a couple of weeks before you notice.

[SpecTech]

Ok Upgradeing did not work.

[NormanRouxel]

I presume you mean that upgrading didn't fix the existing duplicated items. In that case it may be necessary to send your database (via a Snapshot) to Actinic for analysis (and hopefully fixing).

If you can cause the problem to reappear in 9.0.5 when you create some new variables then that would be bad news. Best tested on a clean V9.0.5 site of course as some problems may be carried in with a corrupt database.

There must be plenty of people who create Variables but there's not a lot of noise on the Forum about the problem you're seeing. Weird, eh?

[SpecTech]

We have already sent off a snapshot to actinic waiting on a reply, I might try and set up some variables on a fresh site in 9.0.5 and see if the problem is still there.
