Subject:Comparing Tables in Frame From:melonie -dot- holliman -at- AMD -dot- COM Date:Wed, 18 Aug 1999 13:02:55 -0500
Howdy,
I swear we discussed this a couple of months ago, but I could not
find it in the archives.
I am comparing 3 datasheets in Frame (3 different parts that just have
a few differences). For the most part, it is working. Right now, I am
only having problems with one table. When I compared this table
between part A and B, it worked fine: it compared the words in the
table, symbols, everything. However, when I attempt to compare A
to C or B to C, Frame just notes that the tables are different (no
details). These tables are about 98% similar.
I have made sure the tables have the same names and that the columns
are the same widths. I have even copied the tables into their own files
and attempted to compare them without the rest of the docs.
Any clues? Any ideas? Any experience?
Thanks,
