Program now uses 100 % clientSide database cursors (984)

Lots of work being done on load-balancing in the past few releases ... we appreciate it. Approved: 10/25/2007 12:23 PM
Would like to know if Adocalc v1.3.6 can be installed before Client v6.0.2? or can it be installed after 6.0.2 is deployed. Approved: 9/27/2004 10:14 AM
