Support Forums Now Open
At long last, we've finally re-opened our
Support Forums on a new site, using DotNetNuke among other tools.
Like our blogs, the new forums support RSS and that is where the bulk of new information will be posted, including white papers, questions and answers and code snippets. We've created separate areas for sales and ER discussions, there are also five separate support forums : Foxfire! 8+, 6.0, 3.0, Web support and Object model/customization support.
While we will always respond back through email, we've found that the junk email that comes in on a publicly known or common email address makes it very easy for things to slip betweeen the cracks so register on the forum and post your questions for the very latest information and support on Foxfire!
See you up there!

Foxfire! 8.0 - Build 490
Foxfire! Build 490 is available for download.
Full Install
Refresh
There are a few more items to wrap-up with regard to combo date filters however, we have been doing more internal tests than anything so we wanted to get this out to everyone:
This update also deals with the following:
1. SQL Errors now respect the timeout setting.
2. When you change output settings, they are saved as soon as you click Run. Email settings were not saved properly previously.
3. Improved Outlook email handling.
4. Fix for You Must Close FF! when hitting the Close box after running a request.
5. Floating workbench now reflects changes when removing data items.
6. A variety of changes for the combo classes including support for filters:
If you are using the aarcombo as a custom control class, set the cFilterDef property (under Control properties in the Filter button) to the filter criteria to use (such as [cars.make='Ford'], and only values matching that criteria will appear in the drop-down list.

Foxfire! 8.0 - Build 480
Foxfire! Build 480 is available for download.
Full Install
Refresh
Some users who had downloaded build 478 or 479 were noting some problems with the refreshing of selected data items and the selected data item groups. This has been corrected in build 480. It also resolves a problem when copying a filter that doesn't have a valid data item in it.
This update also deals with a number of cosmetic issues:
1. Cleans up the alignment of the group headers in the Design Preview page
2. When you select Cancel from the Exceed Width dialog, the data item is not added to the selected list.
3. The Permissions and Save As dialog uses more positive terms.
4. The License details and activation screens are clearer and make it easier to extend.

Build 477 - RC and Download Changes
Sorry for the long delay in posts.
Build 477 is our release candidate and although we have identified some minor updates that will be released early next week (in the area of the Setup Wizard and the Help files), we did not want to delay it any further.
When you click the link to download the setup, you will be prompted for your email address and your company name. This will be used to identify your Customer ID where the location of the download will be sent to you. If your company is already on file, your existing customer ID will be sent to the email address we have on file for your company. If you do not receive an email, please email us at support@foxfirereporting.com.
When you first start Build 477, you will be prompted for your Customer ID and your company name as you entered it. Full instructions will be sent with the email.
