  • 1.  Deleting .rp_ files from MAS90/Reports menu after conversion - and they keep reappearing...

    Posted 04-19-2023 15:27

    This has happened to me at least twice and possibly a third time I chose to just ignore with a 2022.2 upgrade.  After the upgrade and conversion, I go through and clean up things and one thing I do is get rid of the .rp_ files in the Reports folder.

    I deleted all of them - I can see them in the Recycle Bin.  I am also currently sitting here watching them reappear, one by one, in the Reports folder.

    As I said, this has happened before.  I desperately need to have an explanation for this, or I'm retiring, end of next week.  I can't take this weird crap any more...

    I don't know whether to thank @David Speck II , or not, but he figured it out.  I choose the Convert Crystal check box in Company Maintenance when I am converting - and it looks suspiciously like it does it once for each company, which makes no sense, but it's still running and that's why those are coming back.

    Bummer, trudging on a couple more years...

    If you are sure you are ready to delete those files.  You can open a command prompt, change the directory to the top-level directory that you want to clean up and then use the following command to list the files if you want to double-check them.

    DIR *.rp_ /S

    You can then use this command to delete them.

    DEL *.rp_ /S

    If you want to get rid of orphaned Wrk files for users, you can use the following.  Replace DIR with DEL when ready to delete the files.

    DIR *wrk*0*.m4t *wrk*1*.m4t *work*0*.m4t *work*1*.m4t /S
