Failures present in RRW6.5 that are corrected in RRW6508

ASCII CHARACTERS
  Regardless of SRT file settings, upper ASCII characters are sorted
  differently than RRD (correctly) does.

  RRW6.5 cannot relate on an index using binary characters.

CALCULATIONS	
  CLOOKUP incorrectly brings back upper ASCII characters.
  Bringing the field back via a relation will give correct/incorrect
  printed characters depending on the setting of DBCHARS in RRW.INI.

  The strsearch() function fails to locate Chr(13)'s found in a database
  character field. 
	
  Calculations based on date fields where date value is blank return error
  in version 6.5.
	
  Calculated fields with date wildcards do not work correctly. 

  Using functions to convert character to time (CTDT, CTOT) & to return
  value does not properly return AM/PM.

DATABASE SUPPORT	
  R&R treats Dbase Windows binary type as the numeric.
	
  Negative values in Visual Foxpro currency fields are not interpreted
  correctly. 

  If Visual Foxpro DBF contains integer field, R&R will report
  "file contains unknown field type" error.

  The alias of a master table cannot begin with a number.

DATABASE SCOPE
  If the date type of a date master index is selected as being Date/Time,
  a scope value of 2/29/96 (a leapdate) is converted to 3/1/95
  when the report is re-opened.

DATA DICTIONARY
  RRDICT.EXE doesn't handle empty Foxpro fields.

  Certain data dictionaries may result in an Invalid Page Fault
  in RRW.EXE @0137:0041cdbf

  Use RRDICT to define 2 constant calc (no table name). Save then
  open Dictionary. Predefined calc columns have been shuffled
  "one to the left"
  If there are two such calcs symptoms are worse- first calc is
  replicated into two and second is tacked onto end.

DATE QUERIES
  A query on a date field utilizing a wildcard expression does not
  return the correct data set. The report runs as if this criteria
  does not exist as part of the query.
	
  A report that queries on a calc field that both checks to see if a
  field is being scanned and tests values of a date field returns
  no records in RRW6.5 even though records do meet the condition.

DROP DOWN PICK LISTS
  In Win95 select a field as Line Print Logical controller.
  Access line properties again and field +1 is now selected.
  Works OK under Win 3.1, 3.11.

FILE EXPORT	
  RTF will use reversed page dimensions if you set up a printer driver
  as landscape and in page layout select first landscape then portrait
  even if you do not save the report w/ landscape page orientation.
	
  RTF does not export backlash character when found in text or data fields.

  Some of R&R Header does not print when RTF'd into Word 2.0.
  Prints OK when changed Word Header spacing.

  Snaking columns causes am RTF to be produced that is unreadable by Word.

  A GPF in keyboard.drv can occurs when exporting report to text data file.
  	
  Export to Text Data File using Line Logical property gives incorrect 
  result.  May get blank line for each excluded record or may exclude
  all records.

INSERT FIELD
  If you open the Insert Field Dialog and leave it open while you make
  multiple inserts, R&R will eventually hang.
  The number of inserts you can do before the hang seems to depend on
  the complexity of the report.

PRINTING
  Print Preview of report with printing of current pages loses the shading
  on second and subsequent current page prints.

  Report prints 14 columns across using only GH and GF. Regardless of how 
  many records print, the last column is always forced to a separate page.

RRCNVRT
  The FIF list in RRCNVRT does not include an HPIV listing.
	
  When converting from SQL to Xbase RRCNVRT does not correctly handle
  DBF names that were quote delimited in the SQL edition.
	
  If you convert a report from RP5->RP6 and the saved report used
  compound indexes (CDX/MDX) for relations, RRCNVRT seems to ignore
  those relations. When report is opened in RSW gets error that fields
  from the related tables are no longer in the master table.

RRWICON
  Get 'Invalid Property Value' if R?W.INI has no ProgDir setting. 
	
RUNTIME DLL
  getMasterIndexInfo returns a space for index type if there is no tag.
	
  In using getNextRelationInfo with a record number linked relation,
  character OxFF is stored as the index name. The runtime DLL should
  do the testing and return a null string.

  The VBX and the DLL do not support multi-character destination fields.
  They also do not have an equivalent for Excel Chart or Pivot table.

SERIAL NUMBER FILE
  It appears that under unknown circumstances, using a network
  dat file, R?W sometimes overwrites byte 0 with a 0 instead of
  unlocking the serial number thus corrupting the file.

SIZING HANDLES
  Dragging the top right sizing handle upon a graphic that's retaining
  shape causes the graphic to move upward, while the handle does not do this.

VBX
  Setting valid report directory at runtime appears to be ignored.
	
  While the Runtime EXE finds records, as does prompting for the high
  and low scope values in the VBX, no records are returned when VBX
  is passed values for the master index based on a char field with
  leading spaces.

  The VBX and the DLL do not support multi-character destination fields.
  They also do not have an equivalent for Excel Chart or Pivot table.
