Bug Alert

[SteveB]

For those of us unfortunate souls that build kiosks...

There is a show stopper bug with the export / import functions when imbedded in scripts AND you use the Developer Tool to rename the file extension. The tool should replace all occurences of .fp5 with whatever I choose. Well, it does most of the time, but not with either of these script steps, nor does it with Design Functions that refer to other files. I get an error message that still refers to .fp5, which kills the script.

I tried using .dbf files, but this creates another problem: seems like I have a field that FM claims is longer that the .dbf specification, but doesn't tell me which of 500 or so it is. I tried supressing the error message using SetErrorCapture (ON), which is ignored by FM.

Of course, those jokers don't intend to release an updater to the Dev Tool until August, and then who knows if these bugs will be fixed?
