- ------------------------------------------------------------
- OTHER USAGE NOTES
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- * You should not save more than one custom form class to a
- custom form file. If you do, you may lose previously
- defined classes.
-
- * URLs to IntraBuilder forms or reports that require a
- parenthetical query will not work if issued from the
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 Address box.
-
- For example, the following entry into the MSIE Address box
- produces an error ("Site not found"):
-
- http://server/svr/intrasrv.isv?foo.jfm(123)
-
- In addition, any MSIE bookmarks that contain this URL
- construction will not work.
-
- You can, however, use a URL that contains a parenthetical
- query in an href link within a form or report, and the
- link will execute properly from MSIE.
-
- * For Windows 95 users only: Microsoft has issued a Windows
- 95 KERNEL32 system file update that resolves a known
- problem with a Windows Sockets memory leak. The leak
- occurs when opening and closing a Socket using the
- Windows Sockets API. Microsoft reports that this type of
- leak affects performance and system stability for users
- who run Windows Sockets applications continuously over a
- long period of time. We recommend that IntraBuilder users
- download and apply the update from the following
- location:
-
- http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/krnlupd.htm
-
- * Do not use accented or extended characters as the first
- character in the name of a control on an IntraBuilder
- form or report. If you do, Netscape browsers will issue
- an error when attempting to access the form.
-
- * To be certain that password protected tables, forms and
- reports have reliable access to the special password
- form, we recommend that you copy the PASS-*.JFM files and
- SECUR21.GIF file from your IntraBuilder/Bin directory to
- the directory in which you store any tables, forms or
- reports that may require password access.
-
- * To close the IntraBuilder Agent on Windows NT 3.51, choose
- the minimized IntraBuilder Agent icon and press Alt+F4
- (or close the application through the Windows Task List).
- On Windows 95, you can close the IntraBuilder Agent by
- right-clicking on the minimized IntraBuilder Agent icon
- and choosing Close.
-
- * If you are reinstalling IntraBuilder over any previous
- version of the product (such as the downloadable demo
- version) or if you download any Help file updates from
- the IntraBuilder home site, you should delete your *.GID
- and *.FTS files before using the Help system. If you
- don't, you will get incorrect search and index
- information when using Help.
-
- * On some Windows NT 4.0 Server machines, the file
- SERVER.HLP may run incorrectly. If you open the file from
- Windows Explorer or from the IntraBuilder Server Help
- icon and you see a tabbed Help dialog with only the
- Contents and Find tabs showing, then you will have
- problems running the file. To correct the problem, rename
- the file (to SERVER1.HLP, for example), and change the
- properties for the IntraBuilder Server Help icon to
- reflect the new name. With this modification, the file
- will open and display correctly.
-
- * This 30-Day Trial Edition of IntraBuilder Professional
- does not include MSSQL or InterBase drivers, though these
- connections should work if you already have the drivers.
- Other SQL and remote ODBC connections will not work with
- this edition.
