This is the second time I've been asked to investigate the use of Subversion as a source code control tool instead of Roundtable. Roundtable has been quite happily deployed at my previous client and runs pretty happily here too. The number of development seats is growing however, and the...

Just for a laugh I drummed up a screenshot containing 48 slider widgetsfor a customer. They actually loved the screen and demanded it beimplemented in the next release. The sliders are used to control maximum numbers of jobs for each hourduring weekdays and weekends. The end result looks like...

A schema update to our current test database is currently blowing the BI file when we try to apply it. We've split the .df file and added more BI extents. However, the BI still spits the dummy around 7 hours into the processing of the big new index. Reducing the time to apply the update...

Hi everyone, Can anyone point me in the right direction to sort out this problem. I am currently using rectangles to draw a bar chart representing the various orders to be fulfilled from a specific production run. So a specific production run is a rectangle running vertically on the...

I have an issue with certain SmartDataBrowsers under 9.1D that Progress Support is currently looking into, but I thought I could ask if anyone else has come across this. I am upgrading an application to 9.1D and certain SmartBrowsers fall apart. Progress & I think this is because the...
