Just wanting to know when the next version will be released with the form graphics problem fixed. Cannot use 7.1 until this has been resolved.

Chris,
What problem are you referring to specifically? There are some known problems but I thought they are all resolved by recompiling with the Form Designer.

Recompiling does not fix the problem. You have to save and compile each form. I have 411 forms that need fixing. Yes I could go into form designer, save and compile but what an arduous task. I am not sure if the recompiled version is then compatible with earlier versions of OI.

Chris,
I see your point. Well…if 7.1.1 doesn't come out too soon we are planning on augmenting our Form Fixer to deal with this issue. Turns out we need it for our stuff as well.
We do believe there is an issue of backwards compatability. We are starting to document this ourselves but it would seem that z-order positioning of controls and the improved storage of the form's client area (as opposed to the entire size of the form) can create visual anomalies in prior versions of OI.
