Bug Fixes in FTLogger, v2.00

  • Corrected problem of two users being logged in to the same SQL database table, where client1 can get database errors after client2 connects to the database. This happens when client2 attempts to change the DATETIME field from Date/Time to Float or visa versa. This is most likely a problem because DATETIME is a primary field. Access is not a problem.
  • Corrected problem of getting duplicate row database errors from a logsheet that is using complex events.
  • Corrected problem of memory leaks and exceptions when online and attempting to modify the logging method to use complex events and there is an error with the event.
  • Corrected problem of no existing valid tables when going online with two log sheets, both logging addresses from the same device. Set up one of the sheets to log to a fixed column based database. Go offline with the log sheet that is logging to the column based database and edit the log sheet by adding an address (make sure the other log sheet is still online).
  • Corrected the exception when, after having loaded a log file with no log sheets, and previously having a log sheet up.
  • Corrected the issue of checking the span time to just before data is needed.
  • Corrected the import of Modicon documentation and converting 5-digit addresses to 6-digit.
  • Corrected the GPF when entering and then deleting a single address in a sheet.
  • Corrected the problem of when the timestamp in the log sheet is formatted to display only the date, only one log per day is permitted.
  • Corrected the problem within FTLogger when it may not be able to receive events from the newest servers making it impossible to get data values.
  • Corrected the problem of, when in Windows 2000, and when bringing up the open/save dialog, a lockup can occur if the “My Documents” or “My Briefcase” folder is selected. This is a known Microsoft problem. See knowledgebase article Q287087.
  • Corrected the problem of when attempting to open Access97 database files can sometimes bring up the error “unknown database format” when in Microsoft Access 97.
  • Corrected the problem of when changing database options from “Setup – Options” dialog will prompt the dialog that asks the user if they want to save their changes when exiting FTLogger. This implies that the changes are saved to a file when in reality they are saved to the registry when selecting “OK” from the options dialog.
