Re: Integration of dbf (Fox Pro) with BOARD
Hi Helmut Heimann ,
Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately Micorsoft prodides only 32 bits driver and we need a 64 bits. There are some commercial ODBC driver around the Internet. I will try to find something.
Kind regards,
Marcel

Re: Is it possible for a BOARD cloud customer to use their own custom font?
While this may result in the desired font in some circumstances, I've noticed that in many cases due to browser differences the font may not be as specified.
In the initial phases of a project (while confirming the critical look and feel elements of a solution) I've asked for an alternative font that may be more reliable across browsers to try and standardise the online experience.
So far, all have been able to understand the impact of browser differences, and can specify an alternative without issue.
Thanks

Re: How to make 3D Chart
Hi Abdul
It's good to see creativity in design of solutions, but I would recommend avoiding the use of 3D charts as they do not convey pertinent information in the most effective or economical way in an application.
If you have time I recommend a look into the recent work of Stephen Few and even back to the original material by Edward Tufte for guidance in what makes good information visualisation.
Happy Charting!

More generally, I wouldn't write "minor or none" impact on procedures...
Re: "Cannot load protocols list" message when running data reader
Hi Gilles
I've also experienced this error, especially with SAP datareader in an older version (8.1.6)
I've solved this doing as following:
- when receiveing the error I close Board Client.
- I stop Board service
- I delete file bm1Common.xml form the database folder: this file stores datareader last run date, read records etc... so it's not critical at it will be re-created (only thing you won't see last run in datareader screen until next run)
Anyway, best solution is still upgrading Board

Francesco

Re: values mismatch in layout settings and dashboard ?
If you are able to reproduce this issue you should definitely get in contact with BOARD Support.
I assume you also have multiple Layouts in the screen, right?
If yes, you can try to avoid this issue by manually moving the affected layout to the top position of your screen objects (Workspace > Screen Objects)

Re: values mismatch in layout settings and dashboard ?
Did you do any selections on layout level?
We are having two customers with a similar issue but weren't able to exactly reproduce this yet..
