It was probably created in version 4 - when there WAS no Open Window command. In versions 5-6, you can run the conversion to change those over to Open Window actions. It works pretty well, but check each after it's created to ensure that it does what you want it to. Rick On Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at

You can, but should do so carefully. The nextId column in the arschema table contains the number of the next Request ID for the specified form. Manipulating that manually is done by resetting the value via SQL command, which should only be done under specific controlled conditions, which are liste

I would agree with Scott. I was prepared for a learning curve in the 1 week range, but after seeing it, it's probably more in the 1 day range, and that would include installation and enough familiarity to be useful. Of course, we'll all probably try to do some things the "old" way a few times bef

Remember that in AR Server 7.1, licenses are treated differently. I noticed that when upgrading from 6.3 to 7.1 (patch 2) on Linux, the user licenses didn't get converted - only the Server license did. I would take a backup of my license file and my ar.conf file, to ensure that I can quickly rest
