Re: New GUI screens in V 3.5

["Robert A. Rogerson" <rogerson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to add my two cents, from what I have seen of Style V3.5.0 it is all
screen scrapes.  No checkboxes, combo boxes, etc.  The only controls I have
seen are text boxes and labels.  They are even staying with a '1' or '0' on
a Boolean field (when it's not 'Y' or 'N' or '1' and blank or 'Y' and
blank).  I hope they hire so PC people to improve the PC interface instead
of using green on black people to tell PC users what they should be seeing.

Sorry about bad mouthing JBA but I just finished recovering from 103
duplicate invoices (no exaggeration) that were all posted to AR and GL with
incorrect amounts.
