Hi All, I believe that this issue is fixed in Dev Studio 7.5 patch 4. Failing that if you merely edit the menu in the old admin tool it shouldn't corrupt the database. Certainly didn't for me. Saving a complete form that incorporates any new features may work but isn't something that I would

Hi Brian, Make sure that your mid tier web reporting is configured to use the DSN that is in your reports. I have found that if a report uses a datasource other than the one defined in the mid-tier web reporting settings you will be prompted for a password. It will work however once you do that.

Hi, Yes this is a problem with patch 3 of DS. I have found that you need to do 2 things to avoid using the old admin tool for editing some qualifications. 1. Use the button to open up the expression editor. 2. Replace all enums with their numeric equivalent. (Not just the new one.) Failing to do

Not sure if others have the same issues or not. The big issues for me are that the syntax checker in dev studio doesn't seem to like search menus that reference fields on the current form in the qualification. I have to revert back to the admin tool for that. Another issue is that it often won't
