Enhancements

  1. Reference: VIPSuite/TbredComm/TS ReportServer
    All applications have been enhanced to work in the Remote Desktop Services environment.
    For details please refer to the special Remote Desktop Services section in the Release Notes Appendix.
  2. Reference: TbredComm/Gateway for Windows/Export to Excel
    TbredComm and Windows Basics support downloading data from a View or a Report to Excel. A csv file will be created on the client and the default application associated with csv files will be used to open the file. For example when csv file types are associated with Excel, Excel will be launched and populated with the data from the host. This provides a significant performance boost, eliminates the need for DDE communication. In addition it will support both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Excel and other spreadsheet products such as LibreOffice Calc. If you are not using TbredComm and you are running either a local Basic or a Network Basic you will have to install the VIP client software in lieu of the TbredComm client.
