I cannot replicate the problem with RRBYW18 on the server; works fine with the date format. My app doesn't given them the ability to get to the R> prompt, and I cannot dial into an individual workstation so I might have to wait until I go onsite again to test it at a workstation.

RBase is installed on theserver, DLL/CFG moved to installation directory. Workstations(mixture of Win 7 and XP) are running RBase from the server with -aparameter. Only problems noted are all printing related (both to the screen andprinter). There are random fields in a few reports that printperfect when I'm doing it dialed into the server, but are blank on theworkstations. The fields are text, either Arial or CourierNew. I cannot play alot with field length/height because they aregoing on preprinted reports. At other times, reports without a display format defined for a date fieldwill print out 4-digit years even though both sequence and format are2-digit. The problem with this is that they claim it works for awhile showing 2 digits, then all of a sudden goes to 4 digits, then backto 2 digits... I've searched and there is nowhere in code where Ichange 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. Idid not bother uninstalling RBase 7.6 on the workstations or on theserver since I've seen no indication at other clients that it wouldinterfere with running 9.5, and all the filenames used are differentbetween the 2 versions. I wanted to get away from localinstallation in 9.5. Do you think I need to install locally oruninstall 7.6? I can fix the 2/4 digit year by modifying every report to put a displayformat, but this random skipping of fields is a deal-breaker that has tobe figured out. Thanks for any suggestions you might have! Karen, Please test the same functionality using our RRBYW18 sample database included with R:BASE eXtreme 9.5. 1. Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 and CONNECT to RRBYW18 database C:\RBTI\RBG95_32\Samples\RRBYW18 2. At the R> Prompt, check the default DATE SEQUENCE andFORMAT SHOW DATE Notice the following: DATE format MM/DD/YYYY DATE sequence MMDDYY Century threshold YEAR is 30 Default CENTURY is 19 3. Now change the format to MM/DD/YY SET DATE FORMAT MM/DD/YY 4. Verify DATE settings SHOW DATE DATE format MM/DD/YY DATE sequence MMDDYY Century threshold YEAR is 30 Default CENTURY is 19 5. Now Print a sample report with DATE columns, etc. PRINT InvoiceSummary OPTION SCREEN|WINDOW_STATE MAXIMIZED Notice the Cover Page Customized Date Format on Page 1 Notice the date format for the Transaction Date on pages 2 - 31. If you have a sample database to replicate an issue, please forward the files to R:BASE Technologies. Best regards, John Minyo II Customer Service R:BASE Technologies, Inc.
