Hi,

Small suggestion - always use the @D017 and @T07 pictures when displaying
Date and Time's. The Modified Time's in the Project Listing is in Military
Time, which is not standard display in the United States. We are lazy, we
like to see "01:07 PM", not "13:07" :-)

In addition, could there be a second column before the date which displays
the "PRODUCTNAME". Then, it would be a little less cryptic. :-)

Good point! The time comes from the GetFileTime Windows API. I'll see what
I can do to convert this to US standard.

We have to open and read the scripts to get the PRODUCTNAME. I have to
check if there is a negative side effect (e.g. "load time" of the Start
Page).

Thank you for your suggestions!

You can use the locale apis to find the correct display options for
date/time based on user/system.

Hi,

Or if you use DIRECTORY (in Clarion) to pull in your SB's, you can then use
the Date, Time from there and use the @d07 and @t07 pictures. :-)

I think I'm suffering from this ...

My maintenance plan says it's right until 2007 on the about screen but I get
an error saying it's expired when I try to update.

What do I do ?

Cheers!

Dave,

I think there is an older maintenance key in your Registry. The new
SB5 IDE can detect and fix this; the old IDE says it's valid but does
not allow to update.

Please install the full version -or- copy your new maintenance plan
ID to the Registry:

Key: HKLM\Software\Lindersoft\SetupBuilder Developer\5.0
Value Name: MP
Value Data: <your maintenance plan id goes here>

Does this help?
