Thanks for the reply, Sami. Unfortunately, the "check for updates" button sends me to the "private beta testers" site, which I don't have access to. And this URL: http://www.rbase.com/RBG7Updates/ says that "no updates are available."
My guess is that the product that they shipped still has the bug. That's too bad -- it looks like a neat product. Once I get the latest update, I'll be able to use it! -- Lou Sami Aaron wrote: > Louis - > > That bug in 7.0 has already been fixed - download the latest update version. > > Sami > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Sami Aaron > Software Management Specialists > 19312 W 63rd Terr > Shawnee KS 66218 > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > 913-915-1971 > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Louis L.
