Software Version Numbers

Problem

This is a very minor problem in our Goldenseal small business software, that has bugged us for years! When you view the "About Goldenseal" window when no company file is open, the version numbers lose their decimal point. The same thing occurs in warning messages, if you try to open a company file with an older version of the Goldenseal software program.

Caught By

Turtlesoft staff.

Workaround

None. It's not that big a deal.

Solution

Starting with Goldenseal business software version 4.55, the display of version numbers is correct, even if no company file is open.

NOTE-- Technically, the display will still be wrong for countries that use a comma instead of a period, for the decimal marker. However, we don't load that type of information until you open a company file.

Technical Details

Programmer note-- code added in CMoney::GetVersionString. It's now used in CTCS_Application::ShowAboutBox, DB_BizFile::CanOpenNewerVersion and elsewhere.
