The resource groups macro (Library/Resource Group) now allows you to move resources into the library database, or to another group in the current database. A bug in the interface macro that caused certain numeric fields to be ignored when importing data from a tab-delimited file has been fixed. build 288 2007-08-01 ==================== The default hit radius is now 0.5%, this should ensure that in almost all cases a mouse click on a sheet will select the desired object. The print macro has undergone various cosmetic and reliability enhancements. In particular, print preview now displays correctly when output is to a landscape format sheet. The ODBC library can now access spreadsheet data via the Excel ODBC driver. There are a number of new standard macros, which should be used in future by AMPS programmers: datetime.src library of date and time functions help.src indirection routine for calling help system pathutil.src library of pathname functions sortelem.src utility to sort child elements by specified attribute StrUtil.src library of general string manipulation functions getnwp.src Get Non working periods into an array Several standard macros have also been enhanced: logger.src can now log to a user-specified file sysinit.src added initialisation for datetime.mac and new constants url.src uses pathutil.mac to expand filenames when using file:// scheme, and now works on XP for file:// The Text Properties macro has been modified to work with carriage return characters rather than backslashes. The "Create Sheets Wizard" has been completely rewritten. The left and right arrow keys now move non-activity elements on barcharts. "Save As" now correctly releases the original database. The management of data fields in the Activity Properties dialog has been fixed. The resource tab also now displays the details of the first resource automatically. The "Import Data Wizard" now allows the user to pick DSNs defined using the native Oracle ODBC driver as well as the MS Oracle driver when importing from P3E. The DSN selection page has been redesigned to make it more informative.
