Adagio GridView 8.1A


August 27, 2007


  • 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.
