Contract Editor Bar codes were always printed even when 'Print bar codes' was not checked. Status: fixed If you set a ticket number for an item it was not possible to clear it. After clearing it and saving the record the ticket number was set to 0. Status: fixed Truck Editor Records were not sorted. Records are now sorted by Truck ID. Status: fixed Weigh If clicked 'Tare In', the Net weight display was not updated to reflect the new tare weight of the vehicle. For example, if the 'Scale' weight is 10000 and the old tare 9500 the 'Net' weight displayed is 500. If you clicked 'Tare In', 'Net' would remain 500 instead of changing to 0. Status: fixed Daily totals for Receipt tickets would reset at the wrong time. This was caused be a missing line in a database trigger. In order to correct the problem you must run db_rev8.bat. Status: fixed Bar codes on tickets appear as text not bar codes because the 3 of 9 bar code font was registered incorrectly. Status: fixed Reports When the reports 'Truck Summary' and 'Truck Summary with Ticket List' where selected a dialog box appear requesting you to select a data source. Status: fixed The 'Truck Summary with Ticket List' report included all tickets from the selected table even if you specified a Contract, Item, Truck etc. Status: fixed If you selected the 'Truck Summary with Ticket List' report the mouse changed to an hour glass and the buttons became disabled until you scrolled to the last page of the report. Status: fixed Settings It was not always possible to edit the default ticket numbers. Often they did not appear at all. Status: fixed |
