Refresh
Full Setup

This version also includes an updated help file.

This update includes the following updates:
Request Manager Updates
- Updates for importing FFX files. If Foxfire! cannot import the FFX file, it will display a message explaining why. We have seen some instances where report layouts were incorrectly stored. There are still some other issues with importing depending on your use of characters (such as &) which will be fixed in a future build. (366772)

- Variety of fixes for running batches, including being able to run single requests in a batch. (355435, 353374, 520)

- After moving reports into different folders, the Request Manager stays in the same folder. In earlier versions, it would always reset to the main folder. (367489)

- When creating a new cross-tab, it puts the new request into the folder you started in. (367481)

- Permissions for designers and end users now correctly show Update Dictionary, Expand Search and Union options (34763, 331446)

Request Designer Changes
- if you change the column header and then export to Excel, the updated column headers will appear (327207)
- Help button is enabled in SQL (244449)
- Selected Item count was removed from labels (123143)
- Various cross-tab glitches (29921)
- When you preview a report after editing, it returns you to the same tab you were in when editing (367187)

Internal Updates
