updating datapage?

Running PCDMIS 4.1 and Datapage 3.33. Question is when I'm in a program and it ask to update data base, yes or no and I pick no .Close that program. Open a different part program, run throw it, update data base, yes or no, I pick yes. What I notice is not only does the program that I'm running update but the one that I closed and do not want updated. Is there away to only update or send the data to the database or file only on the part program you want? I'm not sure if I have explained this well. So if I need to give a better explanation, Please let me know. Thank you.Astonished

    You will have to delete the XSTATS11.TMP file that is in your INSTALL directory of Pcdmis if you do not want it to save the stats of a part you just ran. When it asks if you want to UPDATE and you tell it no, it saves that data in the XSTATS11.TMP file until you Do tell it YES.

    It does this so you can run ALL of a study, then update at the end to save "run time" (but it don't save ANY time IMO because you lose as much time but all at once at the end).

    I have a batch file that I run when I don't want to save the stats for whatever reason that replaces the XSTATS11.TMP file with an empty copy. Others here can give you CODE to put in the beginning of your program that will delete the XSTATS11.TMP file everytime you run the program. Yeah, it works, BUT, if you run a part, tell it NO, run a second part then want to update Datapage with the data from BOTH parts, you are screwed because when you ran it the second time, it deleted the data, SO, I prefer the batch file method. I have a quick-link on the toolbar, all it takes is a single click and that pesky file is GONE!
