Vendor names changing

[dfcwagoner]

I noticed something really odd today in PC+10. I had a vendor ID set up as WINCOM (Windstream Communications) for our phones since July 2007. Today, when I went to post an invoice to WINCOM it said the vendor didn't exist! So, I went into maintain vendors and, sure enough, it wasn't in the list. Just to test things I clicked add and created a "new" vendor WINCOM and named it Windstream. It saved just fine, like it was a new vendor. However, when I clicked delete it said the vendor (that I just created) had transactions... so I clicked the history tab and it had my transactions there from last year!! Is this a problem that's been reported previously? This is really odd.

Oh, then I printed the audit log. It has an entry that says "The name for vendor id ABEACD was changed from WINDSTREAM to A Beka Academy. ABEACD was a new vendor I created today as A Beka Academy. The reason I had to create ABEACD is because ABEACA wasn't in the vendor list and I couldn't create a vendor with that name because it already existed (even though I couldn't see it). Anyway, ABEACD was never named WINDSTREAM.

Has anyone else had this kind of problem? Please help!! This makes me nervous about continuing to use PC+ from fear that my data may continue to be deleted.

Thanks,
Alan
