Fixed an error in numeric data entry.
The previous service pack fixed numeric entry for numbers that were completely enclosed in parentheses but broke numeric entry for numbers containing internal minus signs.
This service pack fixes that problem, and also enhances the range of numeric entry formats that can be recognized and successfully collected. For example, an entry such as ( 123,456.78 )- previously reported an invalid entry error because it contained internal spaces and a trailing minus after enclosing parentheses.
As a result it is easier to flip the sign of most numbers, regardless of how they are formatted, by simply pressing <Escape> to start editing and then the minus key to flip the sign.
Under rare circumstances a user would receive an error such as "Server XXX encountered duplicate workstation serial number YYY." when the workstation was not in fact connected to the server. This resulted from the server failing to remove the serial number during a disconnection or logout.
Special characters in name or description fields could result in errors when generating HTML for the resulting orphan reports. The characters & [ ] $ " \ < > { and } are "special" in this context because they can conflict with underlying tcl evaluation or HTML markup. This version fixes the problem.
The record import tool, invoked by the Tools>Import>Records command, had a error when both positive and negative amounts were encountered on a distribution. Although this case is common, the error was inadvertantly introduced as a side-effect of a recent fix to another record import problem.
