I am currently using PB 9.01 and I am getting an error on one particular persons records during the retrieve of the dw. The person has 374 rows that should come up in the dw when the retrieve is finished but all that happens is that I receive a "2 Select error: ". There are a ton of other people in the database with more records than 374 and they are all coming up fine. Any ideas???
 
well, normally select errors are due to incorrect column specifications in the datawindow.
say, for example surname is defined as varchar(50) in database, whereas it is defined as varchar(20) - you will get a "select error" when a row that has a surname of more than 20 chars is retrieved.

to fix this, double check your column specifications & goto sql mode of datawindow, press a space and delete it [pretend to make a change] and save the datawindow...
