LOGDRAFT 5 Prevent possible problem with opening .PDT files when the user has "Hide extensions for known filetypes" selected. Avoid crash that happened when the user edited a legend, clicked on a tab to show the project's folders, then back to the legend tab, then clicks on the background of the left-hand navigation panel. Report forms whose descriptions contained line breaks would not show up under the report form list when trying to print a report. Fix minor bug that caused a program crash when the user changed a report form type from a single-source summary to a multi-source summary. In the report form editor, warn the user about breaking the link between the first and subsequent page formats if the subsequent page heading/footing/margins/absolute sections are edited for the first time. When the user selects "Tools" > "Data Entry Forms" or "Report Forms", on tool startup, do not show the main screen (just show a file selection dialog). When multiple items were included in a data summary column, some items may be forced onto subsequent pages. Modify program behavior when "Verify all writes" is selected so that the program tells Windows not to buffer the data being written (forces data directly to the disk), and also forces Windows to drain the DOS file buffer. Add importer for gINT .GPJ files (this is an additional-cost option). Show little progress indicator when loading the report form and data entry form files for editing. Add "Installed Software" icon to the opening screen. Fix outlining of recently-edited data entry fields in the data entry form source/project screen editor. Make dragging of text/data entry fields in the data entry form source/project screen editor more precise. Show the revision history of report forms in their "file properties" panel. Surface the new custom subsurface table column layout engine for all A1309 offices. Restore the ability to specify a particular legend file to be used when plotting a given report form. Make sure "Source" > "New" is selectable when viewing the project data screen. Properly handle errors passed by the database system during report page generation. 5.0.0.80 5/8/2012 2012-May-08 Fix GPF sometimes encountered when editing a report form's heading, previewing the new form, then trying to open a different form. Correct error that prevented entirely new data entry forms from being created. More work on cutting/pasting objects in the report form editor's heading/footing section. Properly restore the title/data settings dialog's position between views. Limit the number of times the "You picked too large a table height" dialog is shown on, e.g., report form preview. Correct error that prevented proper representation of palette colors. This fix does not affect existing customers -- to enable its use in existing installs, rename earthtones.pal to earthtones-new.pal. Major internal changes to font caching subsystem -- should result in improvements in speed and stability. Correction of bug that would cause the last interval of user-labeled graphs to possibly use an incorrect interval if the number representing the interval had more than 1 digit. 5.0.0.79 3/28/2012 2012-Mar-28 Back up legends to .GBK files on write. Fix problem in starting CONS. Automatically add in CBR/CQC-FD/SHEAR prompts to project data screen. 5.0.0.78 3/13/2012 2012-Mar-13 Modify GDM to make sure that it properly minimizes when a lab. application is started (that's the DDE modifications). Make sure shortcut key underlines are shown in the program menus. Fix problem with LD-only demo not showing complete startup screen. Speed up drag operations on the report form editor's heading/footing sections. Limit the display of multi-line titles in the report form editor's heading/footing sections to just the first line. Improve drag/drop on data entry form editor's table section. 5.0.0.77 3/12/2012 2012-Mar-12 Fix bug that would prevent the report form editor's heading/footing screen from pasting objects copied with another running report form editor if an object had already been copied from the current form. Fix bug that would cause objects pasted into the report form editor's heading/footing screen from being saved unless other modifications were also made to the form. Improve "box" selection of objects in the report form editor's heading/footing screen. Improve vertical placement of dragged text boxes in the report form editor's heading/footing screen. Moving to a new shareable config. file directory would not copy the program settings from the current config. file directory -- could result in a blank "Project Data" screen. Small changes to HTML help screens; inclusion of option to show custom client notes to data entry help screen. Report form/data entry form properties for an existing file would accidentally get changed if the user selects an option to save the file under a new name *and* changes a property while entering the new name. Clean up dragging of data entry fields on the Table section of the data entry form editor. Auto-select for deletion the "(untitled)" text shown as the title of a new data entry table column added with the "Click here" button. Avoid a crash if the user tries to open a new report form that references a non-existent data entry form and the user opts to not subsitute another form. Avoid crash in the report form editor's table section when editing, e.g., a report title in the right-most (blank) column and the user opts to preview the log. In the report form editor, make sure the last table item modified is saved before the form is previewed. Fix: Trying to preview an elevation/horizontally-scaled profile with only borings that do not have coordinates locks the project's annotation file against any further modification until the program is closed and re-opened. Fix to properly display profile text annotations as they're dragged around the screen. Internal changes to plot formatted text on graphs. Not surfaced/documented. Fix picture shown on report form editor margins dialog. Fix index less than 0 error double-clicking outside of a search result in the report form editor search box. Modify the program updater to properly unload (on some OS/network connection combinations the updater would download updates but never close). 5.0.0.76 2/15/2012 2012-Feb-15 Internal additions for a new graph layout engine to be debuted in LD6. Fix bug introduced in prior version that would not allow custom legends to be created from existing projects. Change when GDM is minimized after LabSuite et al. is loaded.

Modifications to properly support cut/copy/delete/paste shortcut keys (e.g., Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, etc.) on various edit boxes, selection boxes, etc. throughout the package. In the report form editor's heading/footing screen, properly handle the "Reset" button for selected text/user data items. Possible correction for crash when merging the report page tables from an imported/merged project (Issue6969). Correction of a problem that would cause the stratigraphy column of boring logs to appear differently when printed using the "Print" button on the report preview screen than the printout obtained by selecting "Print" > "Borings, Test Pits, Wells, etc." Internal changes to allow IT admins. to specify the location prompt, addition option and duplicate pattern removal inside the GDM.INI file in the program installation directory, thus setting the option for all program users (this file must be edited manually to set these options). Fixup moving title/data accuracy on the report form editor's heading/footing screens. Use custom mouse cursors for different drawing tasks (add line, add text, etc.) in the report form editor's heading/footing screens. Fix a bug that would allowed the user to try to modify the font of newly-added text items and the weight of newly-drawn lines. Better represent the various weights of lines shown in the report form editor's heading/footing screen. In the report form editor's heading/footing editor, fix bug that closed the title/data parameters box whenever a grid row height was changed. Correct a crash dialog that would appear when previewing a report form, while simultaneously editing the report form and making the form's second page identical to its first.

Additional "calculated" variables available for reports: "LICENSED_SITE", "LONG_DATE" and "DT_TODAY". Fix to get .PDF reports to properly show dotted/dashed lines. Addition to select the line type of unfilled bargraphs. Internal and undocumented changes to allow the use of *any* symbol in MISC.CDT as a graph marker (involves using the user-selectable marker option and entering "$FIXED" as the "Field used to select the marker type" and "LCIRCLE" in the "For each symbol, enter the symbol ID then a "," and the symbol name" box in the report form editor's "Place a Graph in the Current Column" dialog). Additional parameter at the end of the DLINE() function used in the "absolute" table to add lines anywhere on the page: the final parameter specifies the line type (0=solid, 1=long dashes, 2=short dashes, 3 = dots). The report form editor now sorts any graphical symbol selection menus. Add a snap-to-horizontal/snap-to-vertical line drawing option to the graphical symbol editor (hold the shift key down while drawing the line). During graphical symbol editing with a zoomed symbol, draw the symbol being edited while the horizontal/vertical scroll bars are being adjusted ("hot-tracking"). Modification to how dotted lines are drawn in .PDF files that can drastically cut the size of those files (e.g., one file went from 1.6M to 96K). Work to prevent some GPFs tied to freeing a GDICanvas that uses an underlying TCanvas control that's already destroyed. Correct problems (error dialogs) shown when cutting/copying/pasting with a locked clipboard. Correct a problem (error dialog) caused by ending a string of text with either "'" or "~".

Correct bugs that prevented the data entry form/report form/graphical symbol editors' "Tools" menu from showing files that were already open. Correct minor theming problem on the report form editor's heading/footing "title and data" dialog, and its preview window. Fix support for multiple check boxes on the subsurface table's data entry section. Prior to this fix, on any data entry form with multiple check boxes on the table, clicking on one check box would cause a program crash. Stop allowing the creation of projects whose name ends in a trailing space. C.f., spt. issue 6865. Correctly detect many more incidences of damaged .PDT project files, e.g., spt. issue 6844. Correct "Access violation at address 004ab5dc", failing component TablePanel2 when right-clicking on a lab. test link *after* clicking in the left-hand yellow navigation panel. Correct a report form editor problem that would cause a change made to the form's first page heading or footing to not be reflected in the subsequent page's heading/footing if the user went directly from editing the first page heading/footing to editing the same section of the subsequent page. Add online help on adding samplers to the report form table. Fix unusual error that would happen when clicking on the "Halt" button of an error dialog while a data entry screen was shown: The software would trigger a second A/V during the exit process.

Major improvements in the preview facility for lab. test modules' report and summary pages. 5.0.0.71 11/18/2011 2011-Nov-18 Reduce the size of the font used for data entry prompts on very high font scaling systems (i.e., 150%). Correct a bug introduced in the last revision that would cause a "It appears that you are starting the software for the first time..." message to appear on some Data Manager installations featuring just Proctor or SHEAR, CBR or Swell/Consolidation. By default, the code added in 5.0.0.64 to work around bugs in various HP printer drivers is now turned off. The user must re-enable this code using a configuration option. This should correct "An outgoing call cannot be made since the application is dispatching an input-synchronous call" errors. Work on the workaround for HP's amateur-hour printer driver bug: trying to prevent "An outgoing call cannot be made since the application is dispatching an input-synchronous call" errors from happening with clients forced to use these printers. Report form editor: changes to a report's heading/footing title font would not reflow the section of the report form currently being edited to reflect the new character cell size. Preliminary fix to try to correct client reports of a GPF on data entry closure. Fix of a few inconsequential memory leaks. Correction of a report form editor error that would let the user define scale bars with no tick marks, kicking off a "divide by zero" error when the report is printed or previewed. Correction of "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add" error in the Excel spreadsheet exporter. Fix problem that might possibly prevent a report or data entry form or graphical symbol file from being edited if the editor crashes and is restarted; the error would necessitate rebooting the computer. Minor changes to the error logging facility to prevent triggering multiple errors while an error message is being displayed. Correction of error that may (could not duplicate) cause error messages to be displayed when changing from one data entry field to another. Change to make sure that the undocument .DXF export option LineLeadingPct is read from the GDM.INI file stored in the program installation directory under Windows 7 and Vista. Modify the size of font shown on data entry screens when run on systems with a very high DPI setting. 5.0.0.70 9/16/2011 2011-Sep-16 Eliminate "This program might not have installed correctly" VSETUP32 message on first startup of software. Fix an incorrect "File not found. Please verify the correct file name was given" message displayed during project merges. Give the user the option of skipping the "Important, Please Read!" dialog that is shown at the start of the project merge process. Correct an EAssertionFailed error in C:\source\ldv\entry\DENTUTIL.PAS, line 987 after selecting a non-existent project to merge. When showing the "select a project to merge" dialog, start in the same subdirectory that holds the current project. On new computer startup, show a nice message alerting the user that some additional installation will be taking place. Potential fix for "EOleSysError: An outgoing call cannot be made since the application is dispatching an input-synchronous call" error. Properly register FD/SHEAR data acquisition importer .OCX files -- prior, these files would not be registered on through-the-network startups if the original network installation was run first on the server. Correct an obscure boring log reporting error where, with A) a text item ending just above one page's ending depth, B) a text item ending just below that which would be pushed onto the next page, and C) a text item at the top of the next page, item B would be improperly printed below item C.

Remove excess vertical separator when drawing the report preview window's toolbar on themed displays. Automatically copy user-configurable files from the program install directory to the default user-writable directory on 1st startup for a new login account or new computer. When trying to print or preview a boring log, if another user has the current project's Project folder open for writing, the page generation will be aborted with an error message. On the opening screen, under "Opening and Creating Files", correctly handle the case where the most recently-opened project was manually deleted (prior to this, the program would say "no files have been opened yet", then list some recently-opened files underneath). In the report form editor head/footing editing screen, ensure that the "Place text" dialog is completely on-screen (previously, a very tall report form row would cause the dialog to show partially off-screen). Make sure that the 1st page and subsequent page forms are separated, even if nothing's different between the two formats except for the table heights. In some cases, when adding data to a new boring, a vertical scrollbar would not be shown on the window right after data were added to enough sample cards to get to the bottom of the window. 5.0.0.67 8/11/2011 2011-Aug-11 Correctly show the "project create/open" dialog on machines configured for increased font sizes.

Add an option to show a split stratigraphy symbol by joining two pattern selections with a comma. Add a menu option to sort legend tables. Fix program crash encountered when previewing a report with a missing logo or graphical symbol. Make sure all graphical symbol parameters (grid step, name, etc) are correct before allowing user exit from the graphical symbol editor. 5.0.0.65 5/24/2011 2011-May-24 Fix an "A referral was returned by the server" error message starting up over the network on Windows 7 on new computers (RegisterLDExtensions.exe was not code-signed apparently due to an Internet connection problem). Fix access violation error (in the debugging version: an assertion error and associated message "CTND1") when searching for text in a legend folder such as STRATA. Prevent a "Could not change your printer's page orientation" and/or "Printer is not currently printing" message from being shown if the report preview screen's "Print current view" button is clicked when a report is already being printed. Correct many of the report form editor dialogs to appear properly (e.g., fix missing text labels) when viewing using a themed Windows display.

Standardize font sizes used on the report form editor's heading/footing dialogs + fix the height of many of the dialog's justification and color selection boxes + make sure borders are around each text entry field. Fix the "Cancel" button on the report form editor's "Add a Graph Key" dialog. Several corrections to the intermediate calculations window: font fix, remove the check mark from the OK button, fix the font used by the equation in the title bar. Remove the duplicate "Tools" top-level menu selection that appeared when editing a graphical symbol. Fix the "Convert Selection to a Spline" function in the graphical symbol editor. Modify the graphical symbol editor to start drawing lines and circles when the left mouse button is clicked, not when it is released. Add support for Windows display themes to the graphical symbol and data entry form editors. Correctly display the number of symbols in the graphical symbol file being edited. Remove the icon from the top-left of the project file open dialog. Change "checkbox" to "check box" throughout the program. In the report form editor, changing the height of a heading/footing row left some items already selected with invalid grip locations. Small change to how the report form editor's table section displays the column selection panel. Correction of font in the symbol selection dialog. Remove the "+" symbols in the report form editor's left-hand navigation panel. Change the report form editor's heading/footing screen to directly show, e.g., the graphical symbol, shade, check box, etc. dialog when an existing item of the corresponding type is double-clicked. (Prior, the program would show the "Text and Data" dialog with an "Edit" button in place of the "User-entered or calculated data" field.) Modfiy the report form editor's heading/footing screen as well as other editor's screens so that "Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete" menu selections and shortcuts works within text fields (such as the row height table, the symbol editor's grid step field, etc.) as well as with the currently-selected object. Fix paste in the report form editor's heading/footing screen and the graphical symbol editor so that pasted objects are displayed selected. Add title to the top of the report form editor's heading, footing, table and absolute section editors. Prevent printing from the report preview screen if a printout is already being generated (prevents errors). Minor rework of the spreadsheet editor view to be more space-efficient. Fix of several problems with project browse creation dialog: prevent error when opening a 2nd existing browse configuration file; prevent duplicate entries in the browse list, crash on exit. Correct moving items on the report form editor's heading/footing screens so that they can be dropped in the middle of a tall row and are properly associated with that row. The report form editor no longer forces LOGDRAFT version 4 compatibility for report forms created with the DOS version of LOGDRAFT. Change "LD4" to "LOGDRAFT on graphical symbol editor instruction screen. Initial focus on the find/replace text box is now set to the "Find" box. Support for copying entire graphical symbols between symbol files. Standardize the graphical symbol editor's "abandon changes" menu option. Fix a bug in the graphical symbol editor that left the "info." window in a non-maximized state if the "Revert..." menu option was selected. On selecting a new shareable config. file path, require copying from the current path if the new path has no LOGDRAFT report forms in it. Many modifications to the report form editor's "add a formatted text item" dialog, including removing the "Space" button in favor of letting the user simply enter spaces in the "fixed text" box, and fixing a bug that would cause the software to not register the last calculated item added if it was added after a piece of fixed text, and allow the Enter key to be used to insert linebreaks into the fixed text box (instead of having it just close the dialog, as is the Windows default). Also, temporarily removed the real-time preview of fixed text being added to the format. Major internal rework of the program's project file handing code to work around a bug in several older HP printer drivers (e.g., HP 4300): COM mode was switched over to apartment threaded, which necessitated cross-thread marshalling of project file objects and the removal of all EXPRESSION object caching in the program's report form objects. Thanks again HP!. Prevent screen flash when previewing a report while another report preview is already showing. 5.0.0.64 5/17/2011 2011-May-17 Added updates to the program's data dictionary (many new names, as the dictionary had not been updated before). Modified the report form plotter for a slightly better horizontal placement of data centered over underlines. Correct memory leaks. Correct an "Invalid image size" error message encountered when displaying the project create/open dialog on systems with extremely large icon size settings. Stop the program from checking for control registration on every startup. Correct bug that prevented a new source folder from being shown immediately on creation (the user needed to click on the "untitled" entry in the source folder tree to show the new folder). Default to using the new opening screen on new program installations. Introduce the REPORTINFO calculated variable. Stop "undeleted temporary tables" message from being displayed to end-users on program exit. Close the legend navigation panel if the user reverts to the stock legend from a custom one. Hide source folder selection list menus when the user switches to editing another folder. Show the legend navigation panel when a custom legend is created. Remove useless LOGDRAFT-III (DOS)-compatibility pseudo-typefaces from the "frequently-used" typeface list shown when selecting fonts for sections of a report form.

Initial drags from the data dictionary to the data entry form source/project editor's layout screen were ignored if a title was typed first. Prevent source folders from being locked against modification if the program crashes while editing them. Modify the report form editor to check for accidental selection of a graph with user-selectable markers and no specification of a marker-selection variable or marker-selection table. Make sure a previewed report (e.g., boring log) is properly re-generated if a graphical symbol file is edited. In the "your data entry form is missing" error message, properly display the name of a data entry form that contains an ampersand. Clean up dragging of objects (lines, text, etc.) in the graphics symbol editor and the report form heading/footing editor: Dragged objects are erased from their original location so that the drag position can be properly viewed. Correctly locate the report form editor's heading/footing screen's vertical row-height bar when the editor's zoomed out to display the entire page. Correct error (memory access) that could possibly occur when simultaneously generating a report preview *and* printing a report. Display the "manual updates" page on the GEOSYSTEM Software website if the automatic software updater cannot download updates on its own (due to firewall or proxy restrictions). Correct "List index out of bounds" error that would sometimes pop up when a report form is edited while a report preview is being displayed that uses that form. The "frequently used typefaces" list shown in the report form editor's typeface selection boxes could have included duplicate typeface names. Nicer error dialogs for program bugs -- stack traces are properly called out and a suggestion is made to paste the error message into a tech. support e-mail. Correctly handle the "Read your program manuals" link on the alternate opening screen. Do not allow the user to exit the software while a report is being printed (avoids crashes on exit). 5.0.0.64 3/31/2011 2011-Mar-31 Corrected a problem that prevented the automatic updater from updating more than 5 programs at at time. Workaround for a problem that would prevent online help from being displayed in certain networked environments managed by a domain controller. Several changes in heading popup menus: Empty popup menus are not shown, popup menus are hidden when another data entry form is displayed; the menu editor is automatically shown when a new selection list is created. Log files are no longer created in the user's roaming AppData directory. 5.0.0.63 3/2/2011 2011-Mar-02 Hook up previously non-working rectangle draw command in the report form editor's heading/footing screens. Correct the appearance of grips shown when selecting lines for modification in the report form editor's heading/footing screens. Some horizontal lines shown in the report form editor's heading/footing windows were incorrectly displayed as extending to the right side of the screen. Vertical lines with a "double" weight were shown as single lines in the report form editor's heading/footing screens. It was possible to drag an existing horizontal or vertical line into a diagonal line in the report form editor's heading/footing screens, but diagonal lines are not supported and the resulting line would not be displayed. Correct bug in the report form editor's heading/footing screens that would show selected items' grips in the wrong place after zooming the screen in or out. Add a grip to denote a new line draw start position in the report form editor's heading/footing screens.

Prevent possible locked-source-folder problem if the user searches for a text item then opens a new project. Prevent the vertical splitter from showing on the opening screen. Show "no files have been opened yet" on the opening screen on new installations. 5.0.0.58 11/5/2010 2010-Nov-05 Correct a bug that would allow the user to resize the left-hand panel listing a project's sources folders so that it could no longer be seen. 5.0.0.57 11/1/2010 2010-Nov-01 Correct an access violation that happened when installing updates to locked program files. Work to properly install in-use program updates to server directories. Correct the size of the program configuration dialog, which inadvertently got resized too small in build 5.0.0.55. Force re-install on next start if the software could not install a program update. Corrected an obscure error that would occur when the program tried to evaluate a bad (i.e., nonsensical) mathematical expression that included a comma. The change does not affect the correctness of *any* working user-entered calculations; it merely modifies how the program responds to certain badly-formatted equations. Present a nicer error message if the user tries to preview a boring and the report form selected for that boring cannot be found. Reports outputted to .PNG or .JPEG files used a plotting window that was one pixel too high and wide. Increase the speed at which the user can scroll (by clicking on the vertical scroll bar) through the sample cards on the boring data entry screen. Display a nicer error message when the program could not upgrade a report form (e.g., due to a read-only file) to the latest internal format. Made a few changes to prevent errors caused by the program trying to access files such as logos that were being accessed by other users at exactly the same moment. Suggest a default path if the user tries to select an empty path for the "shareable config files path". 5.0.0.56 10/29/2010 2010-Oct-29 Added color symbols to the legend report. Corrected the open file dialog for symbols, report and data entry forms to be centered on the screen.

Automatically hide the "line parameters" dialog in the report form heading/footing editor when tdelphihe editor is hidden. Addition of "Copy Top Line Weight" and "Copy Bottom Line Weight" functions to the report form editor's table window. Fix bug that would prevent ampersands from being shown in the "Report form" field at the bottom of the data entry screen. Fix context-sensitive help for the report form editor's "Add Text and Data" dialog. Additional online help. Internal support for the AGS export plugin tool. Internal support for specifying the bounding box and justification for text and data items added to the "absolute" table. Modification to how the program calculates the length of text that includes super or subscript characters. The change affects the layout of a few client forms. Correction of an error message displayed when copying items to the clipboard in the graphical symbol editor. Fix the width of the print configuration dialog. Correct selection between multiple licenses. Allow the selection of multiple graphical symbol entries in the symbol editor by drawing a box around them. Allow the user to force drawing horizontal or vertical lines in the graphical symbol editor by holding the Ctrl key down while drawing the line. 5.0.0.55 10/27/2010 2010-Oct-27 Add option to rename report forms, data entry forms and graphical symbol files from the "open a form" dialog. Additional online help. Automatically add either ".txt" or ".xls" to files exported from the data summary/export tool. Fix the data summary/export tool to correctly export text that spans multiple lines, as well as text that uses special LOGDRAFT characters, underlining or symbols. 5.0.0.54 10/26/2010 2010-Oct-26 Per issue5976, modify the software to use a symbol key called LEGEND.GDT that is saved into a project's .GEO folder. Correct a problem that would cause "Print" > "Summaries" to default to showing a list of scaled report forms, not summaries. Correct a bug that prevented new project summary reports from being created. Prevent creating a project summary if an associated data entry form was not chosen. Prevent the user from including "" as a data item in a report form's table section. Allow the user to create report and data entry forms that have periods (".") in their file names. 5.0.0.53 9/27/2010 2010-Sep-27 Correct a problem that would lead to some dialogs being invisible if the user removed a 2nd monitor from their computer. Correct some inconsistencies in the report form editor's heading/footing window's top ruler. Correct a problem in the report form editor's heading/footing window that would lead to lines being duplicated if their weight was changed. Fix bugs that would prevent legends and plan views from being added to report forms (the OK and Cancel buttons for the respective dialogs did not work).. Fix "Could not access the file (unknown)" error displayed when trying to add/modify a legend plotter on the report form heading or footing. Additional online help. 5.0.0.52 9/24/2010 2010-Sep-24 Modification to allow the software to download updates/news from the geosystemsoftware.com website through corporate proxy servers. Correct a bug that would damage graphical symbol files if the file's description was changed from the "File properties" dialog. Addition to allow users to save comments (and the name of the user who last modified the file) in graphical symbol files. Modification to make it easier to drag symbol elements (lines, curves, etc.) when editing a graphical symbol. Fix ITEM IS MISSING error that would sometimes be shown when opening a new form in the Data Entry Form editor. Addition of "Properties" menu for setting report and data entry form and graphical symbol file descriptions and file comments. Fix of a bug that would cause the symbol file selection dialog to be repeated shown when opening a graphical symbol file for editing. Fix of a bug that would cause problems if multiple program updates were found to download (e.g., LOGDRAFT, LabSuite, etc.) -- potentially, only one update would be downloaded. 5.0.0.51 9/17/2010 2010-Sep-17 Modification to allow the SHEAR data acquisition importer to run from a network install. Correct a problem that would prevent users from saving or modifying report forms with column data set as "Ruled" vertical justification and with a bad (i.e., non-numeric) value entered for the ruled interval. Corrected an error that would cause the program to stop responding if a spell check was run and found no errors. 5.0.0.50 9/13/2010 2010-Sep-13 Correct a problem with report forms that include the company name centered in their lower border, and that have a specifically-defined table height. (The problem was that bottom border and company name would be below the bottom of the report form, and would not connect with the bottom of the left and right border lines.) 5.0.0.48 9/4/2010 2010-Sep-04 Added Select All and Select None buttons to the source selection dialog of the summary/export tool. Corrections to the program's DXF output of logos and other raster images. Corrected an error in the spell checker that would cause it to miss a spelling error at the end of a line of text. Internal modifications to the program's project database handler to avoid locking up the project if the spell check process crashes (should also play nicer with others -- i.e., eliminate small pauses when multiple users are accessing the same file). Prevent the spell checker from continuing to run (in the background, without any user notification) if the user clicks on the "X" box in the top-right of the checker dialog. Corrected a problem that prevented the program from creating new projects with embededded periods (".") in their name. Addition of "Select All" and "Select None" buttons to the summary/export source selection dialog. Correct memory leak encountered when showing the text currently being spell checked (not likely to cause any problems). Present a more helpful message when the user clicks on a project in the "Recent Projects" list and the project no longer exists. 5.0.0.47 9/2/2010 2010-Sep-02 Additions to the online help, working towards full help coverage.

Avoid loading multiple laboratory-test program instances if one of the program links at the bottom of a sample card is clicked multiple times in rapid succession. 5.0.0.44 8/12/2010 2010-Aug-12 Corrected an error that would cause AutoCAD to fail to load large .DXF files with a "DXF file's HANDSEED '8000' is too low. Please edit and change it to..." message. Corrected an error that would cause the program to write corrupted binary .DXF files. 5.0.0.43 7/22/2010 2010-Jul-22 Correct a "Member not Found" error when opening projects with the Data Manager (no LOGDRAFT installed). Error was introduced with the previous update. 5.0.0.42 7/22/2010 2010-Jul-22 Corrected a problem that would cause a "RF-RL" error message to be displayed on program exit if the user opens a laboratory test then deletes the source folder holding that test. 5.0.0.41 7/21/2010 2010-Jul-21
