Hi, folks. I tried to do a search but was unsuccessful. I know this is a bad time of day to try to look for assistance but … I built a database in 4.6, company moved up to 6.0.2CF1, users on Win2000 still okay; those that moved up to XP have lost the ability to see radio button field in view or form, or print. No hide-whens whatsoever. Should be visible to all users. also, XP users lost their rights in the ACL - had to reset. Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this? Don’t know what to do except perhaps delete the field in question and start again … thanks to any who respond. Cathy
Subject: The ODS might be the culprit
Hi Cathy,jumping from 4.6 to 6.0 moves up 2 notches in the physical file format (ODS20-ODS41-ODS43). So you might check of all your DBs are in ODS43 (or put them there if they are not).
I once had a strange case where I has all sorts of funny problems with that. In the end we used DXL to export the design and reimport it into a new R6 database (some massaging of the DXL using XLSTR was done by a colleague). But try to create new replicas of the affected databases first (that definitly moves them to ODS43).

Subject: Thanks, Stephan - I’ll check into this and
talk to my administrators. I’ll try the replications first thing. I appreciate the feedback. Cathy
Subject: All affected Dbs are in ODS Version 43. Any other ideas? (eom)
Subject: more ideas…
Do you have the original 4.6 template still around?
Get a copy of it. Export it to DXL, Export the current Design to DXL and compare using an XML Diff tool. You might be able to spot the differences.
One thing that saved our day: create a new database and reimport the DXL you have exported from 4.6. That gives you a very clean database. Use it as a template and refresh your production databases.
