Save 98SE & 2K issue

[JP86SS]

Hi Mark,
Thanks for giving us a new toy
On my initial install on my 98SE laptop and on my 2K desktop, I'm not able to save any changes I make. Save as.. works but the file will not load, just ignored it seems.
The importer doesn't doesn't seem to do anything. (Not a problem for me though). Files are not archive or read only, just FYI.
Am I possibly missing a dll package or something in the OS's?


I just did an install on an XP machine at work and the save works fine.
Import still out but I wanted to make a def from scratch anyway to get a good feel for it.
Have fun on vacation (If that's where your going) If not, have fun anyway

it doesnt create on import, you need to "save as" then specify the new name of adx file, then go to load definition and load what you just saved and you should be fine.

After saving the ADX, does ScannerPro load the resulting ADX just fine? If not, it could be a bug that I'm aware of. Open the ADX in a text editor and look for amperis ands ('&'). If there are any in any strings, that breaks the ADX parser. Delete the &s, replacing them with "and" for now.

I'll fix that bug.

OK, I did save as .. with new name etc.
No "&" found.
Restarting the system again tonight and it seems ok now.
Saves and edits are taking effect on the 2K machine.
Maybe it was just needing a reboot after install.
XP machine didn't care, worked right away.
I may not have done that in my haste last night (was too excited )
Thanks Mark, now go on vacation!

Laptop w/ 98SE is no dice. Won't save a new file or edit at all.
I'll just have to create/edit the definition on the 2K desktop and then try logging with 98.
I'll let you know on the 98 issues. Might be time for the least common denominator here Wondering if anyone else has this issue or if its just my laptop doing it. Hopefully someone will chime in.
Having allot of fun dreaming up configurations for the dash and histograms.
Thanks for making it so flexible.
