Spray block entity emitter won't update

[Agri-Valley]

I have created a spray block entity for a jet emitter. The hose and emitter are created correctly. However, when I open the spray block dialog box it reverts to another jet emitter. The hydraulics work out correctly but IrriCAD continuously wants to repair the emitters.

I think that from your description we would need to see the design and your database to determine the cause. Which version of Irricad are you using ?

I am using version 13.28 of IrriCAD. The design doesn't matter as I have tested it several different ways in new designs. I have deduced that this issue only pertains to sprinklers with various nozzles. When I create a spray block for Sprinkler A and with nozzle C (the 3rd nozzle on the drop down list) it generates the spraylines accordingly. However, when I open the spray irrigation block dialog box the nozzle changes to nozzle A (the first nozzle on the drop down list).

I recently updated the database component's part #s in microsoft access and saved the file as a new database version. I attempted the same basic design using database version 1 and I didn't have the same issue. When I double check the database info in microsoft access, all of the information in version 2 matches version 1. Could changing information in the part #s column in microsoft access have caused this issue?

Normally using Access directly isn't something I would recommend (and this isn't really supported) unless you have a reasonable knowledge of the database. It's a pretty simple structure but there are some things that you need to be aware of and these are not documented extensively.

I'm not sure which field you have been changing but if it is the "warehouse code" then in theory this shouldn't have caused the problem. However altering the "Component Key" or adding or removing nozzles for example will potentially cause problems. At the very least you should run the "Clean Fields" utility from the "Tools" menu after you have changed anything in Access - doing this may help to fix your database but this is hard to tell without seeing it.

Your tip about "Clean Fields" worked.
