Enter XXX Buttons Save Too Early

PROBLEM

Using the Enter Estimate or Enter Sale buttons can cause "dud" records to appear, if the client or server quit before finishing the record save.

Caught By

Turtle Creek testing.

Workaround

None.

Solution

Fixed in version 3.3

Technical Details

There was a basic design flaw in Goldenseal multi-user, since we saved records in two steps to make the client save fit in with our single-user code. If either the server or client was interruputed between the steps, the result would be a "dud" record with incomplete information.

We improved the design in version 3.2, but it was still saving in two steps when creating a new record via a button. Now it's fixed in all possible cases.
