I get what you are saying. They would only be happy with the exact revision like 1.6.0.626 if it was installed with that then 1.6.0.625 or 1.6.0.627 would still not be accepted. That is why we ship the installation files with the machine.

Hi Fuzzy, Thanks for the information, I feel the customer would have expected to be able to buy spare parts for something like 20 years. They are not happy about this. Basically as new builds are made they would need to keep spares for each type of panel instead of just one. It should always be possible ...

Hi, A customer with validated machines that have version 1.6 installed has been told that pannels will only be supplied with version 1.7 in future. Will it be possible to down rev them to 1.6? Before we were able to go back a few revisions then up rev to the one we want. The customer will never ...

There is also the auditdialogue box which uses local users so I think it will only pass local users.

Hi, I have set up active directory and I can log in with credentials. I now need to add a audit trail. I have done this for local users and it is working but I have a drop down linked to the users in the model which are local. I need to change this so I can type in the user and hope that with ...

I have a button to close it but that is only visible to the right user. The X is like on a web brower at the top right beside the minimise button. I did what CodeAssist said and it worked, I had full screen already and did not expect making always on top true to make any difference but it did. ...

Hi Asemluchben, I deleted the user managment then put in a new one, the issues I was seeing are gone. Also the active directory user was not added to the list. As I only want local users everything seems fine now. Thanks -------------------------------------------

Hi Asemlucben, Yes I agree but the user Paul.Gallagher and Paul.Gallagher@DomainName were added when I logged in using active directory and I do not want this to happen. That is why I am thinking I need to hide the users after my local variables. But if I want to create a new local variable ...

Hi Asemlucben, Thanks for the feedback there. If you delete the retentativity database would any new users you added be gone? Would the users update and as design time after doing this and then you would have to save the files for validation purposes. Also as this is a runtime I am not sure what ...
