==============================
*** Icetips Reporter 1.002 update ***
==============================

Fixes in 1.002 released on November 5, 2001

** General **

All references to "Icetips Report Wizard"changed to "Icetips Reporter".

** Wizard **
--------------------
1. Added support for more datatypes. This applies to the data types used in the files that are used for the report, NOT the datatypes for variables. Some of these datatypes would cause fields on 0 width to be created. Supported datatypes now include:

BFLOAT4
BFLOAT8
BYTE
CSTRING
DATE
DECIMAL
GROUP
LONG
PDECIMAL
PSTRING
REAL
SHORT
SIGNED
STRING
TIME
ULONG
UNSIGNED
USHORT

Also supports CHECK controls.

2. Populating fields is no longer required - the report can be empty.



Fixes in 1.001 released on November 1, 2001


** Wizard **
---------------------
1. GROUPS in files would cause invalid TXA. Fixed.
2. SHORT and DECIMAL fields were generated with 0 width. Fixed.


** Editor **
-------------------
1. If border color for boxes/lines in headers/footers was not specified, the generated TXA contained invalid value for the border color and no report structure would be imported. Fixed
2. Transparent fill was not working. Fixed
3. Details were created with 0 height by default. Fixed. When a detail is created the detail height is now set to the height of a string control + 10%. The default font (10pt Arial) is used to calculate the height of the string control.
4. Picture for variables wasn't saved. Fixed
5. When entering the Select Embed window it would position at the first template and first embed instead of using last value or selected embed as suggestion. Fixed.

** Additions **
------------------------
1. Added embed points for CPCS, so embeds used to handcode reports are now available.
