Manufacture date

I've noticed for a while and keep forgetting to ask. The manufacture dates are not printing correctly on the tech sheets after I updated to the version 7.1.2. I can post pics if needed.

I'm not seeing any issues here. Can you post a pic of the problem? Also, which worksheet are you using?

I can post more if needed.

Check your date format on that computer. Do you have another computer and does it appear the same?

There was a date formatting fix introduced in 7.1.4 that might address this issue if your computer formatting is ok.

I am not sure what you mean. I input the dates manually. I did notice that since the update it is a little different to input could it be I have to now use the drop down menu as opposed to entering the date as I have in years prior. I used to be able to tab through and I know I can no longer do that.

I'm fairly sure this is addressed in 7.1.4.

brianp87,

The concern here is your current system time and date format isn't correct. E.g., it might be set to YY/MM/DD or something odd. We can help you check that if you need to on a call to support.

It's in the report, the formatting of the date string done by crystal report is the culprit.

This:
if IsNull({TechWorksheetInfo.MfgDate}) then
date(0,0,0)
else
DTStoDate({TechWorksheetInfo.MfgDate})

Should be:
if IsNull({TechWorksheetInfo.MfgDate}) then
" "
else
Totext ({TechWorksheetInfo.MfgDate})

I will report the problem to development. I will also endeavor to put a patch on M1Files

Just what I thought it was!

Yah, I was thinking someone spilled his bowl of Alphabet soup on the key board. This is a reason I laugh when we ask something "simple" to be done. Most have no clue what has to be done to make it work.
