When I import additional UNC data for Unconfined Compression Testing for a single boring, any previously entered or imported UC data in that same boring is deleted.
For example, I had previously imported and entered data for boring B-1 @8 and B-1 @12. When the remaining 2 unconfined compression tests were completed, I imported the data for the 2 addiitonal files only. When I went to enter the manually entered data, the data for the 1st 2 tests was gone! This only happens when importing data for the same boring number. When I imported data for borings B-2 and B-3, no data was deleted for B-1.
We have offices that do large quantities of UC testing and need to be able to import and complete tests on a daily basis. What can we do to correct data being deleted when additional data for the same boring is imported?
Thanks,

I deleted my response because I now realize Pat had already posted more or less the exact same response prior to my post. For some reason I was not able to see her post so I thought mine was original.
Thanks for all the info, but when importing from add-ins, you don't get any overwrite options. You simply choose your files and they import, no other choices are given. In checking further, this is definitely part of the gINT rule code.
Judy,
Sorry about my earlier redundant response.
Anyway the import overwrite option can be changed easily from within the gINT Rules code although I suggest you let someone familiar with gINT Rules do that.
Or, if the Add-In is importing from another gINT project, Excel or CSV file with a matcing database structure you could simply do the import manually (avoiding the Add-In) and select the overwrite options yourself.
