We have an application based on an R.5 template. (Actually, the root of the template goes all the way back to Act!) Being the PITA that I am, I primarily use my R.6 client to do development and maintenance on that source template. This generally is no problem except... Whenever I touch one specific form and a specific subform (each of which contain a fixed-width table) with the R.6 client, it changes the measurements of the last several columns and the overall width of the table. Even if I do NOTHING with the tables, the cells or formulas within the tables, or any other form property that touches the table, the measurements change. If I use R.6 and reset the column width values to those that show on a separate R.5 computer, then open the form with an R.5 client, the values are not the same. I have to open the forms with an R.5 client and reset the values from there to make the forms print correctly.
Does anybody else have this problem? What's different between the way table properties are handled by the two releases? Is this going to be an issue with every template that has a fixed width table when we upgrade to R.6?
