Hi Everyone,
Thanks to joseph2 for this thread and his post. I believe most of us agree, that having the .Net Framework 4.0 is the fix for the prescription writer issues, running on Windows XP and 7 PCs.
This is due to AC's lack of communication here. It's not up to certain members on the user board to communicate a broad problem. The reason being because some members may visit the board very little. They may not read every thread. Some are shy to post; some don't care to post anything.
The list can go on. My point is - this is AC's user board. This is where all the action is. Someone inside AC should schedule a time, maybe from 10am -11am, or 3pm - 4pm to communicate with user board members. I don't mean in stealth mode either. I believe that would help significantly. The website is good, but the loyal following lives here (on the user board). The website is for potential buyers/members to know more about the company and product.
To answer the questions in the above posts. I understand now that AC is using .Net technology. It is a good idea to keep all your current .Net Frameworks installed. There are other applications on your PC that may use an older .Net Frameworks.
For example my product uses the .Net Framework 3.5 SP1. With my installer I have .Net Framework 3.5 to install automatically if it's not found on a user PC.
More than likely you are seeing performance improvements because some part of AC calls an API that does not exist in .Net 3.5 but does in .Net 4.0.
Absolutely! James.
AC is going through some changes. That's why it's good to effectively communicate these changes, especially, when new a framework is involved. Microsoft frameworks are beasts! Meaning they are massive and could do a lot good things. But, they could become a person (programmer) worst nightmare, too!
This has been a good experience for the user board. I said this in my very first post. Of course, that post got deleted for good reason. This user board reminds of a family. You guys are tight here. I saw that before I joined. AC needs to see that now.
