List of known issues with 1.15.9

None

This problem has been corrected in Version 1.15.7.1 which does not change the program but does change the online registration process for CD Rom customers. If you experience this problem and would like another CD Rom based on the corrected Version 1.15.7.1, please contact us. Existing users of 1.15.7 who are successfully using the program do not need to upgrade t0 1.15.7.1.   

List of known issues with 1.15.7

There was a problem when registering the software online. The user would complete the registration by filling in the data but then would get an error code which indicated that they were not registered.

There was a problem in the timeout function of the registration sequence with the server. Essentially, the user would have to cancel out of the application to clear the problem and then go back in. On the second attempt, the problem would typically clear itself. However, the registration of their data would still not go through.

 

_______________________

Errors were present when no data was in the database in certain areas of the Project and Yarn module. These were corrected in 1.15.1

 

List of Known Issues with Desktop 1.10

1. Swatch section - the Notes item is not correctly set up. It is only recording a single note as opposed to an individual note for each Swatch record. Until we correct this, do not write any notes in this area if you also use a Palm because your data may overwrite your Palm data which are individual notes.

Solved in 1.15

2. Project and Yarn section - this section is not correctly set up. It is only recording a single note as opposed to an individual note for each Project/yarn record. Until we correct this, do not write any notes in this area if you also use a Palm because your data may overwrite your Palm data which are individual notes.

Solved in 1.15

3. Book Inventory - the notes section for any given record is not immediately refreshing when a user selects a different book. This will be corrected.

Solved in 1.15

 

List of Issues with 1.02

Previous issues listed below

1. Project Yarn Section

Grand Summary form is reporting the incorrect $ value for Projects. This is not catastrophic but needs to be corrected. We will issue a maintenance release before year end which will correct this problem. 

Solved in 1.02.05

2. Make to Fit

The Fit Factor is sending a number over to the Palm which is not correct. It is also not handling the Fit number coming from the Palm correctly. We will correct this in the next update. In the meantime, please consider the data on the Palm as being correct. If you are only using the Desktop without a Palm, there should be no problem.

Solved in 1.02.05

3. Unexpected Errors - Certain users may run into a problem when running the database applications within eKnit-Kards (Book and Needle inventory, etc,). We have issued 1.02.02 which solves these problems by adding additional Windows support files to the package. These extra files will be loaded onto your desktop during the install and will allow you to run eKnit-Kards without a problem.

Solved in 1.02.02
