Jeff,
I had four eBird Lists to import. The first two loaded ok. The third and fourth, I initially received an RTE 401 error. I closed the import window and reopened. I was then able to load the third. The fourth errored with same. I closed BD and reopened. The fourth list was then imported.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for posting; and as always, thanks for the screenshot.
A couple questions:
- What version of BD are you running?
- Were you using the File | Import/Export window or the "eBird Import File(s) Found" window; shown below.
Let's start here. We've had some similar issues with this in the past that I thought were fixed in the current release (v6.0 Build 34).
Let me know.
Update: Got onto Mike's computer and he had already figured out the unique situation that causes this. And we were able to reproduce it on his computer.
- Add a sighting or two and close the sightings window; this causes an update to the lifer bars, among other things.
- While that update is happening and before it completes, he does a backup, that actually completes before the lifer bar updates complete.
- This causes the RTE 3420, object invalid or no longer set.
Working on reproducing it on my dev machine and getting a fix for this.
stand by.
All righty. Fixed in Build 37.
In 28 years this one has never happened. 😉
Good find Mike!
Sorry for delay, birding got in the way. 😊 Confirmed, thanks. Got to love edge cases.
Mike
