NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
TITLE: InForms 4.1 Win Patch 1 for Designer
README FOR: INF1.EXE
NOVELL PRODUCTS and VERSIONS:
InForms 4.1 for Windows
ABSTRACT:
This file explains updates to Novell InForms 4.1 that address
some issues that arise when the application is running under
Windows NT and Windows 3.1. If you want to update InForms 4.1,
you must have previously installed the application.
To apply the patch, you must use a utility called PATCH.EXE
(from Pocket Soft, Inc.), along with the accompanying .RTP files.
If you are running InForms 4.1 from the network, your network
administrator may need to update the files if you do not have the
rights to do so.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
ISSUE:
Data Links
* Under some conditions, read-only database fields were
written to the database when a write object link was
updated.
* A sorting problem sometimes caused a "Corrupt File,
Datalinks Lost" error message to be displayed when there
were hundreds of fields on a valid form.
Data Tables
* Text was not always justified correctly when records
scrolled into view and when they were edited.
* Under certain conditions, a GPF occurred when data table
rows were being printed on attachment pages.
* When a memo field was defined within a data table and it
had enough text to wrap, only the first line of text was
printed on any attachment pages.
* When the primary field was on one page and the data
table
was on another page, "A primary record must be locked
before entering the data table" message was displayed
incorrectly.
Delrina Form Import
* The import incorrectly excluded earlier versions of
Delrina Forms from being imported (Pre-PerForm Pro
Plus).
Formulas
* Under certain conditions, @DELETEREC() generated an
"Internal Memory Error" message.
* A GPF occurred in Filler if a formula went to two
different
linked forms.
* The @RESETOBJ() formula did not work for table cells.
* Under certain conditions, an object's value was cleared
incorrectly when it called an Independent formula.
* "Open" type formulas were not firing on @NEWREC() when
they were attached to Action Button objects.
* The @TEXT() function deleted leading zeros of a decimal
value (e.g., .03 was changed to .3).
* A GPF occurred when opening a form in Filler if a change
formula referenced a multi-record table column using a
column name reference instead of a column letter
reference.
Installation
* The file CTL3DV2.DLL was not being installed. (This file
is needed for the IDAPI configuration utility.)
* On a server or workstation installation, the file
NWCALLS.DLL was not being installed.
* Under certain conditions, a GPF occurred after a server
installation.
Lotus Notes
* Some Lotus Notes forms were not showing in the list of
tables when a form was being linked to a Lotus Notes
database.
* Querying a Lotus Notes form did not show records that
were
entered using Notes.
* A form could not be linked to Lotus Notes Views.
Object Appearance
* If you turned a table cell line off through the Example
window, you could not turn it back on.
* In certain conditions, copying and pasting an object
changed
the copied object font to something different from the
original font.
Query
* Query catalogs were incorrectly being read in when
Data-Only (.DO) forms were opened. Query catalogs are
not valid in .DO forms.
* A record could not be deleted from FoxPro and Clipper
databases if the data had an embedded apostrophe.
* The query parse failed when a query was being performed
on
a Clipper database with 1,000 fields.
README.IN File
* Step 3 in the "ACCESS THE Q+E DRIVERS" section
incorrectly
stated that you should rename the INDBLQE.DLL file to
INDBLIB.DLL. The name of the file you need to rename is
actually INDBLIB.OLD.
Text Tool
* Hard returns were not counted in Memo fields, which
allowed
more characters than expected to be entered.
* In some cases, character spacing with bold and italic
fonts
was different than the spacing for the regular font in
InForms 1.0b.
* A memo field with underline set displayed text
incorrectly
in relation to the underlines displayed when a printer
was
selected.
Windows NT
* Global spell-checking produced a GPF under Windows NT.
* Tabbing to any field that already contained data
produced
a GPF under Windows NT when Fast Editor was off.

Installation Instructions:
To install the updates, you must first find out where your
InForms
4.1 and PerfectFit directories are. To do so,
1 Start InForms 4.1.
2 Select About InForms from the Help menu.
3 Make a note of the path beside Program Release; this is
your InForms 4.1 directory.
4 Make a note of the path beside Shared DLL Release; this is
your PerfectFit directory.
5 Exit InForms.
6 Close all other Novell applications. You cannot apply the
PerfectFit patch while any other Novell applications are running.
After you have identified the location of your InForms 4.1 and
PerfectFit directories,
1 Go to a DOS prompt.
2 Change to the drive and directory where the update disk
exists (usually A:).
3 At the DOS prompt, type:
PATCH INF1.RTP C:\INF41 (replace C:\INF41 with the path
to your InForms 4.1 directory if that directory is in another
location), and wait for the patch to update the files.
4 At the DOS prompt, type:
PATCH INFPF2.RTP C:\OFFICE\SHARED\WPC20 (replace
C:\OFFICE\SHARED\WPC20 with the path to your PerfectFit directory
if that directory is in another location), and wait for the patch
to update the files.
