Client upgraded from 7.6 to 9.5, build 1212.   RBase is installed on the 
server, DLL/CFG moved to installation directory.  Workstations (mixture of Win 
7 and XP) are running RBase from the server with -a parameter.

Only problems noted are all printing related (both to the screen and printer).  
There are random fields in a few reports that print perfect when I'm doing it 
dialed into the server, but are blank on the workstations.  The fields are 
text, either Arial or Courier New.  I cannot play alot with field length/height 
because they are going on preprinted reports.  

At other times, reports without a display format defined for a date field will 
print out 4-digit years even though both sequence and format are 2-digit.  The 
problem with this is that they claim it works for a while showing 2 digits, 
then all of a sudden goes to 4 digits, then back to 2 digits...  I've searched 
and there is nowhere in code where I change the date format, nor do we 
import/export files.   (Again, it works perfectly on the server)

In the past, they had 7.6 installed locally on every workstation.  I did not 
bother uninstalling RBase 7.6 on the workstations or on the server since I've 
seen no indication at other clients that it would interfere with running 9.5, 
and all the filenames used are different between the 2 versions.  I wanted to 
get away from local installation in 9.5.  Do you think I need to install 
locally or uninstall 7.6?    

I can fix the 2/4 digit year by modifying every report to put a display format, 
but this random skipping of fields is a deal-breaker that has to be figured out.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have!

Karen
