Bug fix: Impossible to select a non-numeric replacement field

It was impossible to select a non-numeric replacement field in the minutes fields manager. Only numeric fields were available in the list. This restriction is fine for the quantity replacement field, but not for all replacement fields in general. For example, the “Unit” field needs textual replacement field. This problem was introduced in QDV 7.23.1137.

Improvement: Slow compute all in some cases

In some estimates, the Compute all operation was exceptionally slow even with files of a reasonable size. Most of the time was spent on computing minute rows sum. This phase is instant now. The first compute all after opening the estimate was fast. Only the next operations were slow.

Bug Fix: Data\Word – Manage Documents… - Create document failed with NullReference exception

After update of 3rd party Word Document library the Document.Save function failed with NullReference exception. It has been fixed in new version of this Document library, it means also in next QDV beta/official version.

Improvement: Message of the updater adapted

Some users have complained that recent versions of QDV are not updating with the message "File in use: AdaptForExcel32Bits.exe". The message was wrong; In reality, the problem is that the target folder (usually C:\program files\QDV7) is not writable by the user. An administrator could update but simple users could not.

This is usually because QDV was installed with the installer by an administrator who did not install the service (the box must be checked at first installation) to allow users to update QDV. Some administrators, instead, gave QDV certain permissions to write to this folder. This might work with older versions of Windows, but security has been enhanced by Windows Updates.

Now, in this case, you will receive a clear message saying that you need to contact an administrator to properly reinstall QDV.
