| The Audit facility introduced in the previous release requires each record created to have a unique IRN (Internal Record Number). If a record is deleted, the number should not be re-used, otherwise audit trail data for the new record may display information about a deleted record. |
The default value for autokeyreuse has changed from yes to no. The change guarantees IRNs are never re-used, ensuring audit trails refer to the current record only.
|
| The error message Column operation performed before row has been accessed may appear after sorting a matching set of records or retrieving a set of records via the Groups facility. After the error is shown, the data for the matching records may be blank (although the record count is correct). |
The error no longer appears and the records are displayed correctly.
|
| If the Security tab is resized the Add and Remove buttons may not be positioned correctly after the tab layout is adjusted. |
The Add and Remove buttons are now positioned correctly.
|
| A number of controls on query tabs do not allow multiple values to be entered, hence restricting OR based queries to additional searches. |
All query controls now allow multiple values to be entered, enabling alternative terms to be entered in the same search.
|
| An invalid number format or Invalid query specified error is shown if a value greater than 2,147,483,648 is entered into a numeric (integer) field. |
The maximum allowable value for a numeric field has been increased to 9,999,999,999.
|
| An Access Violation error may occur when extracting XMP metadata where multiple RDF xmlns attributes are defined. |
Multiple xmlns attributes are now handled correctly.
|
| If many columns are defined for viewing via Shortcuts, moving between records may be slow, even if Shortcuts are disabled. The columns are loaded from the Vitalware server regardless of whether Shortcuts are displayed. |
When Shortcuts are disabled, the columns are no longer fetched from the Vitalware server. The change results in faster movement between records.
|
| Client specific reports may not be retrieved correctly from the Vitalware server where a report with the same name exists in the Vitalware cache. The cache report takes precedence over the server report even if the reports are not the same. |
A check is performed to determine whether the cache version of the report is the same as the server version. If the reports are not the same, the server version is retrieved, otherwise the cached version is used.
|
| An Access Violation error may occur in the Multimedia repository for audio, video and document based media where the Documents table is empty. Under normal operation the table always contains the master media entry; however if data is loaded from external sources, the table may be empty. |
An error is no longer displayed if the Documents table is empty.
|
| An Access Violation error may occur when moving through records where a read-only grid changes from having no entries to having one entry. |
An error is no longer displayed where a read-only grid changes from having no entries to having one entry.
|
| If controls have been removed from a tab (as a result of sub-classing), the remaining controls may not be laid out correctly when the tab is resized. |
The controls in sub-classed tabs, when resized, are laid out correctly.
|
| Under rare circumstances it is possible to have the same IRN assigned to two different records. The sequence of events required to produce the error involves a complex interaction between a series of users. |
This sequence of events no longer causes an error.
|
| An End of File error may be produced when performing a search and displaying matches in either List or Contact Sheet mode. The error is displayed only if the results contain a "false" match. |
"False" matches are handled correctly in List and Contact Sheet modes.
|
| An image in a report may not be displayed if the file name contains an ampersand (&) character. |
The image is displayed correctly if the file name contains an ampersand.
|
| Some multimedia helper applications may not start correctly when Launch Viewer is selected. Older Windows based programs may not accept the slash character as a valid path separator (e.g. MS Excel). |
All paths to multimedia files are now translated to "old" Windows based paths (using the back slash character) before launching the associated viewer.
|
| An Access Violation error may display when using drag and drop to re-arrange the order of a large number of multimedia attachments. |
The error message no longer appears when re-arranging multimedia attachments.
|
| The Undo command may not rewind changes made to the order of multimedia attachments. An incorrect order may result where a large number of multimedia attachments exists. |
The Undo command resets the order of multimedia attachments correctly.
|
| The Vitalware help file does not load correctly under Windows Vista. Microsoft has modified the mechanism used to load help files under Vista. |
The Vitalware help file now loads correctly under all versions of Windows.

The Summary Data is always displayed in bold.
|
| A module may be created off the viewable screen area if the Save Last Position option is enabled and the viewable size of the monitor is reduced (either by moving from dual monitors to a single monitor or moving from a large monitor to a smaller monitor). As the new module cannot be seen it may be difficult to move it to a viewable area. |
All modules are now created within the viewable area of the monitor regardless of the Save Last Position setting.
|
| When re-attaching media to an existing Multimedia record the original version of the media may not be removed correctly where multiple storage areas exist on the Vitalware server (as defined by the ServerMediaPath Registry setting). |
Previous versions of media are cleaned up correctly when multiple storage areas are specified.
|
| The Paste and Paste (Insert) commands are not enabled when the clipboard contains some invalid data for pasting into grids. A better solution is to allow valid values to be pasted with an error displayed for invalid values. |
The Paste and Paste (Insert) commands are now enabled even if invalid values are part of the clipboard data.
|
| A report consisting of image and non-image based multimedia within the same record, where a resolution has been specified for the images, may not display the images. |
The images are now displayed correctly for reports where the record contains image and non-image based multimedia.
|
| The layout of controls on a tab may not be correct if a new module is opened and the Save Last Position and Save Last Size options are enabled and the module is maximised. |

|
| The time required to save a new record may be increased if another instance of the same module is open and a large number of matching records are displayed. |
The time taken to insert a new record is not lengthened if another instance of the module is open.
|
| Incorrect data may be displayed when performing a spell check on a text field that is part of a nested form. The data displayed is for another row in the form, rather than the row with the bad term. |
The correct data is displayed when performing a spell check in a nested form.
|
| Only the first row of a multiple row Paste or Paste (Insert) may be added to a grid if multiple rows are extracted from the same attachment module. |

|
| The metadata values (EXIF, IPTC, XMP) are copied into a new record when Ditto All is selected. |
The metadata values are no longer copied when Ditto All is selected.
|
| The What's this Help? dialogue contains information about the control selected. It would be useful if the information could be copied and added to the clipboard for use by other applications. |
The field help information may be selected and copied to the clipboard.
|
| The resizing of CMYK images may result in the C (Cyan), M (Magenta) and Y (Yellow) planes being resized correctly, however the K (black) plane may not be resized, causing a distortion in the final image. |
CMYK images are resized correctly.
|
| The Audit facility does not handle back slash characters correctly. The character is removed from audit trail data. |
Back slash characters are handled correctly and kept in audit trail data.
|
| The tabs located at the bottom of the module window may become disproportionately large when the Windows Big Font feature is enabled. |
The tabs increase size in proportion to the rest of the module.
|
| The Attach Media button on the Multimedia tab may be disabled the first time the tab is visited, even if media could be attached. |
The Attach Media button is enabled if media may be attached when the Multimedia tab is first visited.

A new insertion cannot commence before the saving of the previous record is complete.
|
| The Date Modified and Time Modified fields are not updated when a record is changed in the Field Help module. |
The Date Modified and Time Modified fields are updated when the record is saved.
|
| The ownership of created reports may not be correct if a Registry entry exists for a report without a title (the entry can only be entered via the Registry module). |
The ownership of created reports is correct even if a bad Reports Registry entry exists.
|
| A report containing images may not adhere to the report resolution settings when the reporting module is not the Multimedia module. The master image may be used rather than the resolution specified. |
The correct image resolution is used.
|
| An Admin Task may not stop executing when the Abort button is clicked. |
The Admin Task is terminated when the Abort button is clicked.
|
| The Audit facility does not generate the correct column name for double nested grids of date and time columns. |
The correct column name is generated. The upgrade process to Vitalware 2.1.01 corrects any bad column names.
|
| The Audit facility may add redundant empty values to audit records where a column computes to an empty value. |
Empty values are not added to audit records. The upgrade process to Vitalware 2.1.01 removes any redundant empty values.
|
| The Audit facility may place the client specific registration name as the table name in audit records, rather than the generic ebirths, edeaths, etc. table. |
The generic registration table name appears in all registration audit records.
|
| The Program field in the Audit module may display the time value rather than the program name. |
The program name is shown in the Program field.
|
| The column widths configured for List View mode may not be preserved correctly if the total width of all columns exceeds the width of the module. |
The column widths are preserved correctly.
|
| An incorrect attachment query may be generated from Search mode if a grid control already contains attachments which are cleared after which the attachment button is clicked. |
The attachment query is no longer generated if the grid has been cleared.
|
| An incorrect query may be generated where two or more query controls contain attachment queries (that is records have been attached to query control). An OR based query is generated rather than the required AND query. |
The correct query is generated where multiple controls contain attachment queries.
|
| The Update Resource command in the Multimedia module may truncate IPTC metadata where the metadata contains a null character (that is, a non-existent character at code point zero). |
All null characters are removed from IPTC data when the metadata is extracted. A null character is not valid under the IPTC standard.
|
| A module may start with the maximum screen size, but without the maximise button enabled if the Save Last Size option is selected and the module was last closed when maximised. |
The module starts maximised with the button enabled.
