Preferences are stored on a per-application basis. That's what
remembers your form positions, etc., as well as several other
settings, including any custom settings you may want to store. There's
a decent discussion of preference management at:
http://dabodev.com/wiki/PreferenceDialog
It's not critical that you do this, but it is a good practice; hence
the warning.

That's not related - it means that you have a bad DataSource/
DataField combination for one of your controls. I can't tell which
from the traceback, though.

That's the way many values come back from MySQL. Just cast to an
int() if that's an issue.

One is 24hr time (00:00 to 23:59) and the other is 12hr (12:00am to
11:59pm). This is the default format, and is stored in
dabo.settings.dateFormat and dabo.settings.dateTimeFormat. You can
override those and any other settings by creating a
'settings_override.py' file. Look at dabo/settings.py for more
information.
