Refreshing a View that had extra spaces in a Filter or Calculated Column would cause a "Not Responding" state in GridView 8.1A.

Compatible with Windows® VistaT.

Compatible with Adagio Lankpaks 8.1A. Lanpaks must be 8.1A for all Adagio 8.1A modules.

Adagio download files, installs, workstation installs, all workstation install (\softrak\allwkst\allwkst.exe), and the Adagio Check System utility (chksys.exe) are now signed with a digital certificate using VeriSign to allow you to verify the Publisher is Softrak Systems Inc.

Vista does not support the old style Windows Help (.HLP files). All .HLP files were converted to compiled HTML help (.CHM files), which are supported by Vista.

For security reasons Windows does not permit .CHM help files to be run from a network drive. This is true in XP as well as Vista. The .CHM files must be run from a local drive. Adagio 8.1A installs all .CHM help files to your local hard drive and loads them from there. The workstation install also copies .CHM files to the local drive.

When switching window/task in Vista with Alt-Tab or the new Flip 3D (Windows-Tab) an image of the current Adagio screen is shown rather than just the icon of the Adagio program.

The formatting of dates and text sent to Excel has been improved.

Updated @Z80C. Added *IC Item Loc w IC Item ( @Z80C206 ), IC Item Location ( @Z80CILO ) linked to IC Item - Selected ( @Z80CICM ). Added missing index to *OE Ord Detail w Head, Head Ext so that extended information shows.
