RE: changing field descriptions

["Reger, Bill" <breger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh they understand all right.  They just don't want to be bothered!

One big thing I have learned since making my utility available on the
Internet is how surprised and grateful people are when you do nothing more
than answer their questions eagerly and quickly, and fix the bugs in the
product whenever you can.  Many people have commented that they wished they
got my level of support from the products that have to pay maintenance for.
I find this to be a very sad commentary.  I hope it's an anomaly.

                Bill,

                This problem was reported to Help/Systems, the EZVIEW
people, in 1996 by one of
                the programmers who worked for me at the time.  The release
of EZVIEW that we
                installed in the spring of 1999 still had the problem.
Questions about it were
                always met with "just do the manual refresh and you'll be
fine".  I don't know
                if they don't understand the problem or if they just don't
want to bother with
                it.  (We're using WRKDBF here - much better deal! <grin>)

                WRKDBF used to have this problem too until I started looking
at the file's
                create/change date and time.  You should report this problem
to EZVIEW and
                Questview's authors, like others did to me with WRKDBF.
It's not difficult
                to fix.
