Important Notes

Important! This section applies to clients upgrading from version 14.5 or earlier. Please read the entire section carefully.

Textbases created or upgraded using version 15.5 are not compatible with any Inmagic product prior to version 15.0. You will need to upgrade DB/Text WebPublisher to version 15.5 before you will be able to use it with a version 15.0 or later textbase. When you open an existing version 14.5 (or earlier) textbase with DB/TextWorks version 15.5, you will be prompted to upgrade the textbase. If you upgrade the textbase, you will not be able to access the textbase with any Inmagic product prior to version 15.0.

For example: If you use Inmagic Genie, you will need to open each Genie textbase (GenieKey, Catalog, etc.) in DB/TextWorks to upgrade it to 15.5. If your textbase includes any Link fields, you will need to open the secondary/associated textbases directly (File>Open) to upgrade them to 15.5. If your textbase uses the Thesaurus feature, you will need to open the thesaurus textbase directly (File>Open) to upgrade it to 15.5. And so on.

Form Scripts that use the "formatting signal" discussed in the "Box Object" topic in the Help must be updated. The length has changed from 13 characters to 23 characters. Any Form Scripts that use the script snippet in that topic will need to be modified to use the new length.
