Session("dbType") is now obsolete. GenericDB now executes queries exactly as defined by the config file without padding Access queries with additonal brackets. Any MS-Access fields containing spaces must be surrounded with brackets by the developer. |

Error |
Improvement |
The URL of the config file is now passed into the Error page and displayed as a link along with an improved error message. On many systems this link will help a user get back to where they were when timed out. |

Error |
New Feature |
Session("dbErrorPage") = "myCustomErrorPage.asp"
Three parameters are sent to the Error page:
PG (the GDB page: EDIT, LIST, VIEW, etc.),
MSG (the error message, usually TIMEOUT, and
URL (the URL of the Config File).
Obviously the simplest recovery is to have the custom page recover back to the Config File, it's not so simple if you also want to accomodate timed-out record Adds/Updates or a security and login system. Note: Might be useless.

Timeout Recovery. If a timeout occurs, GenericDB will attempt to reload the Config File to recover (i.e. a Reset). If the user was Adding or Updating a record, the ugly ol' Error message is displayed. However instructions are now in the Error Message helping the user not to lose the changes to the record.

Engine |
Fix |
GenericEngine - Deleted 'if Request("CMD") = "LIST". . . end if' section. Caused problems with subtables, Andy Mooney discovered it to be forcing a reset on all the wrong vars so the subtable never received the proper parameters from the parent. |
