Most assuredly there is an rbengine76.cfg file on each computer since 7.6 was
on there, but I doubt 9.5 would look at that. In any case, my startup file has
SET DATE SEQ MMDDYY
SET DATE FORMAT MM/DD/YY
I never rely on cfg files for my database settings....

Karen,
This is a long shot.
I have seen the RBASE.CFG's show up on client workstations even though
the CFG is on the server.
Maybe that could cause the date wierdness.

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
