Re: Yet another patch problem

Hello Guy,

I don't mind being a front runner on and in this and
  ----------also if it is worth it doing so--------------
and (by) the 'new' looks and advantages of the new 652 version
it was definitely worth the 'run'.   

Though these 'new look+advantages' didn't stop me from running
into software trouble again, the moment when I installed it and later on
using the "second", but now succesfully applied "Congratulations Patch-run".
Note that having this message added to the Patch was, for users, quite
effective.

Also seeing that other fellow-listers were running into these same
type of problems, does help all users(others and Equis) to come up
and find solutions, suggestions, fixes and support(ive) replies quickly.

Same 'having irritating software problems again' happened when previously
 upgrading from 60 to 65, and at that time, any indicators(+formulas) that
where converted during the upgrade process by the then "new" Import Tool,
were somehow "renumbered/named" or otherwise -in the formula field-
syntax mutulated, so badly that previous used layouts/charts/templates
that would be calling on them on opening, simply returned totaly different
indicators, names and/or formula values, and were not the same indicators
names/formulas from the previous version. The old ones just disappeared,
and were replaced by other  -already excisting-  indicators/formulas.
