I've been on V9 now for a week and am finding it quite buggy. Here's my list specific to embedded browses ...
1. Embedded Browse on Form. The table will have logical fields with checkboxes. I'll pull up a group of records and need to check or uncheck the checkboxes for all the records which I'll do from the embedded browse since it's way faster. Not with V.9. I'll start working down the list and after the 3rd or 4th the records will start jumping sparatically. I'll try to click on a checkbox and it's a different record. Ugly stuff. No problem doing it from the form (avoiding embedded browse) one by one but what a waste of time. Plus this worked in v.8.
2. Embedded Browse on Form. A field will have a lookup on it. In Version 8 I could hit the first letter and it would autofill the field and then when I hit enter or the down arrow to the next record the autofilled information was retained. With version 9, the only thing that is retained is the letter I pressed. For example, the lookup has Mail, Fax or Letter as choice. I hit "L" and it auto-fills Letter. However, if I hit enter or an arrow it doesn't retain the auto-filled information leaving just "L" in the field. Not good at all. This works like it should on the form. Just not with an embedded form.
3. On many of my forms I will have a tab with a browse on it. This way I can see the individual record or go to the tab and see the next records in my list. I use this for sales callbacks ... excellent approach to making sales calls! When I'm on the form and use an index to find a record, if I go to the Tab with the browse, the record I'm on isn't on the list in the browse. It's generally the next record after the last record in the browse. Pain in the butt! Had this problem in V8 also. V7 worked like I want it to and like it should. When on a form and finding a record or when I'm on a record, when I go to an embedded browse the record I'm on should be the first record in the embedded browse with focus on it.
Here's a video to demonstrate the problem for #1 & #2 ... http://www.iamcllc.com/personal/Embe...ddedBrowse.htm. It's just 3 min's long.
I believe #1, 2, 3 are all bugs.
I deleted the old embedded browses and recreated them from v9. Didn't fix problem.
Thanks
