I found that the likelihood of the problem is higher when you edit an action without first logging into your datasource.

Fixing the problem can be straightforward, also. You identify the actions with the bug. Create a new taf, with an action that connects to that datasource - to the same table. A simple query will do. In a text editor, you copy a portion of the new action - the data dictionary - and replace the defective dictionary with the good one. Save. Rinse, repeat, and you're good. Easier than finding each CST event and editing it.

I took Roland's advice and searched our programs for the !CST string.
The software I used to search reported "Searched 3244 file(s), found 401
occurrences in 58 file(s)" so it's obviously not just a Mac problem
since we are a windows environment. Looks like we have a few programs to
update.

Any time you edit an action that touches a database, the taf should be
opened in a text editor and a search for CST.

It is unconscionable for a vendor to have such a blatant bug in
software and not deal with it.
this is going on 2 years, of knowing it has this issue and not fixing
it.
and selling it as if there is not a problem.

I really appreciate getting pressure and being accused of wasting
time, just to find out that it was this bug that should have been
fixed.

No this is not just a Mac issue. It happens, though not as much in
Windows version of Dev Studio

I caution anyone that is working on a high profile site and using this

product. you better check each and every file after every save because

the dev studio can't be trusted
