Known
issues... Screen
'redraw' problem:
Although
not strictly a WHOS-IN bug as such, (the problem below is actually
caused by bugs in the Microsoft ListView control) the end result is
something that 'appears' to be a WHOS-IN bug. We can
reproduce the problem at will, but have been unable to find a resolution. The
problem lies with the drawing or 'painting' of the ListView control. WHOS-IN
saves the screen position, size, and
ListView column widths into the database when it shuts down, and reloads
those values when it restarts. If a combination of the form width and
column width leaves the bottom scroll bar almost touching the right-hand
edge, multiple copies of the text and grid are drawn on-screen. 
Screen shot of problem area in WHOS-IN 2000,
however the same problem can appear in WHOS-IN 2002 because the
Microsoft ListView control is still in use with this version.
At
present, the only solution we know of is to 'refresh' the screen (by
hitting the refresh button on the toolbar, minimizing & restoring,
or moving the mouse around on the toolbar so that the tooltips are
displayed - there may be others as well). To
prevent the problem, try to ensure that when you exit WHOS-IN, the bottom scroll bar is either not visible, or not close to the
right hand edge. Microsoft has been
informed of the bug, however it is unlikely they will ever fix it,
because Visual Basic 6 has now been superceded by VB.Net.
Error 91 problem:
WHOS-IN 2002 has been extensively tested by the beta test team (who performed
over 500 person-years of testing) however the Error 91 bug remains unresolved at
present. Several weeks of coding has produced no solution (as yet) however as
soon as it is solved, all registered users will be informed & a new version
of
WHOS-IN 2002 released. It is unlikely you will see this error, however if
you do, simply restarting
WHOS-IN 2002 usually cures the problem.
