    Hi guys, I had encounter a problematic issue that on the recent use of Xpression:

    I had a few screens that datalinq to an Excel (XLSX) on a remote PC with the same network. When show running, we keep encountering this issue: whenever we preview the screen, all the data (Text, Images, Logic that involved using data source, etc) are appearing correctly. However, when we take the screen ONAIR, the is 30%-40% chance that all the data, image, logic that has been datalinq will show empty ( We had a practice of unbinding the materials, clear all the text before show so that why empty).

    We originally thought we were doing saving on Excel, which caused this issue; we adjusted our workflow to avoid saving during the moment we take ONAIR, wait longer before take ONAIR, but still this is happening. Now we resolved to use a script to abort on air if any of the data is empty.

    writing this message to ask for the solution or precaution that will help us to reduce this to be happen as it had cost us too much time to fix it and the script solution will cost us to redo most of the screen to implement this solution. I will provide more information just to get this solved.
