Enhancements and problems fixed in Adagio GridView 8.1A (20070827)

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.

New function ToWords that returns the text representation of numbers or amounts. For example 914.38 returns "Nine Hundred Fourteen Point Three Eight" and $914.38 returns "Nine Hundred Fourteen Dollars and Thirty Eight Cents".

New function RecordNumber that returns the physical record number in a "flat" or "index random" file. The record number can be useful for a developer when attempting to track down a problem with selected data. The value returned for a "idt" file is undefined.

New header / footer codes have been added:

$L prints the Filter name
$V prints the Filter expression
$Y prints the Table name
$Z prints the Table description

Date format MM/DD/YYYY has been added.

Added 'Regional Number' and 'Regional Currency' formatting.

Installing

To install Adagio GridView from the Adagio Product CD, you need the serial number and install code from the Product Label that came with your CD.

If you are installing an upgrade, you need the serial number and install code from the Upgrade Product Label that came with your upgrade CD. A previous version of Adagio GridView should already be installed on your computer before installing the upgrade. If a previous version is not already installed, you can still install the upgrade. After entering the upgrade serial number and install code, you will also have to enter the serial number and install code from your previous version.

To install Adagio GridView (or an upgrade), insert the CD in the drive If the install program does not start automatically, run ADAGIO.EXE from the root of the CD. Once the install program is running you can click the View button for detailed instructions in the Readme help. If Adagio GridView is installed on a network, you must also do a workstation install for each workstation running the product. Refer to the manual or Readme help for workstation install instructions.

Upgrading to this Version

Views and workspaces created with earlier versions can be used with 8.1A.

Views created or modified with GridView 8.1A may work with earlier versions of GridView. If attempted, you may receive an error message stating "....a newer version of GridView is required to open this file.

Earlier versions of GridView Server are not compatible with GridView 8.1A.

Starting with 8.0E, GridView supported Sort Sequences, and since 8.0C, it supports multiple, named filters into a table. If you are upgrading from an earlier version you need to reset the toolbar to support these features by selecting View | Customize and clicking on the Reset button for each choice in the Toolbars tab.
