Contact process will not update database fieldYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I'm encountering a strange problem with a SalesLogix 7 contact process. One step of the process is to update a database field. This step of the process seems to fire off without a problem, and shows as being completed on the process tab. Unfortunately though, the field is not being updated. This is true for any field that is on a custom table. If I set the process to update a field found on the Contact table it works fine, it only seems to encounter issues on custom tables. I've tried it on several custom tables and even created a new table linked to the Contact table, with no luck. I should mention as well, that I can edit these fields manually, it is only during the contact process that it is a problem. Is this an issue anyone else has encountered? Thanks in advance!

If this is an extension table, has the record already been created before you perform the update? Ie, are we talking about a 1:1 extension table, where the master record exists, but the extension rec has not yet been created? If so, could this be the problem?

That is correct, it would be an extension of the Contact table. There would currently be no record in the extension table. Is there any work around for this?

You bet.

Excuse my lack of knowledge about Contact Processes - never used them - but if you are able to run a script, it's a simple case of checking for the existence of the record before running the update. If it does not exist, create it, then run the update.

Just had a quick rummage - looks like you're in luck - it's all script supported.
