I happened to notice that a straight table was in an alternate state. Not only should it not have been in an alternate state, that state was not one I created.
There's only one alternate state in the app, imaginatively called "TestAlternateState," but the chart was assigned to a different state. I couldn't see the full name because the dropdown box isn't wide enough, but what I could see was "UninsuredXLS (un". I went to Document Properties and checked the Alternate States there. "UninsuredXLS" wasn't listed.
The chart still responded to any selections I made, so it didn't appear that this state had any effect on the chart.
I set the chart's state to "<inherited>" and saved the file. After exiting out and reopening, it was set back to "UninsuredXLS." I had to recreate the chart from scratch and delete the old one. After saving, exiting out, and reopening, "UninsuredXLS" was no longer in the dropdown list.
The chart has a few columns with "Uninsured" as part of the label or part of a fieldname, but there's nothing in the app called "UninsuredXLS." So where did this state come from?
Since I've made the problem go away, I'm posting this just to find out if anyone else has seen this before. Obviously the old chart had gone corrupt, but how do I prevent it from happening again?
