1.05c 2006/11/15

PageSize and CharSet are now stored in the registry. PageSize is for info only. Charset allows the subsequent open to work as intended. The charset picklist is also enabled on a reconnect, allowing to use a different characterset for the next open.
In ReadOnly Mode the data window's nav bar has its edit and insert buttons disabled; the navbar was faulty.
Window Size and Position code now re-instated after the fix to ensure that the user can not put thw window out of reach. Users were doing this and then getting frustrated as they thought that the window was not being created. Now, at window creation, it checks and sorts it out.

Popup Menu now only enables what is allowed.
Database Stats can now be refreshed via a new popup menu or F5.

Windows has a new problem, when developing on multi-monitor systems, it sometimes opens (and then saves) a form on the second monitor. When an application is run on a multi-monitor system, the forms are opened correctly on the first monitor. If the app is run on a single monitor system, the form is opened on the non-existent second monitor. Another windows stupidity fixed.

1.02s 2003/09/19

Sometimes when writing to the Registry, it is busy and rather than do something right, it falis the whole write sequence. This would cause you to lose your settings. An attempt has been made to recover from this gracefully.
