I agree. Actually this also reminded me of one thing about the earlier versions that I didn’t like. The program was very mouse oriented. I hope they improved the keybaord navigations in V. 3

I love this program, too. But I’ve been holding my breath waiting for that 32 bit version for a long time… Here’s hoping it happens soon. I’ll give Tom this: he obviously is refusing to release an unstable program. My impression is that he’s been basically tracking down bugs that he’s finding with personal use and has been for some time. When he releases a beta I’m sure it will really be one worth charging… ummm… I mean waiting for.

I heartily concur Daly. In playing about with the program I’ve been going round and round in circles in the help file trying to find directions on how to create a template. All the “help” file seems to do is tell you it is easy to do. But not how.
Reminds me of ADM ... ;-)

I would agree to some degree. UR help file needs updating to match the new feature sets that have been incorporated.
Creating a template and using new forms couldn’t be easier with the latest version.
I’ve had a few questions about the usage, and I wrote to either Kyle or Kevin, and both have been very helpful, and as a result of my communication, my problems/ignorance have been quickly cured. In fact, one of my e-mail has been turned into their FAQ’s.
I found UR’s metadata capability far superior to ADM, and now with the custom form, it’s even more powerful.
To create a new form, go to Tools, Forms, and create a new form and populate them by picking the meta data item. If you click insert you can add multiple lines of metadata items.
Once the form is created, you can create a new template under the template folder in the tree pane, and simply assign the newly created form into the “form” metadata entry. Once you do that, you can use the template in any other part of the tree.
Hope this helps.

It does. Thanks. If only that were in the help file ;-)

In this context, the practice makes sense, because the new buyer would suffer loss of business reputation if he didn’t assume these obligations. But such a deal does not affect any of Eric’s obligations. It only gives the new owner the duty to hold Eric harmless and the customer another option for recovery. Which is to say, my answer to Daly’s yes no question is yes.
Here the number of outstanding debts may be unknown or known only to Eric. If Eric’s reputation has been damaged, a potential buyer owner might choose not to rely on Eric’s representations. Would you?
If I can quickly answer Daly’s other question here. Choice of law issues, where they are relevant, are always contentious. There is, in addition, no general answer, because choice of law is determined by the laws of the jurisdiction where the case is tried. There’s a two-stage analysis that all civil procedure 1-st year law students have to go through, where first you must analyze the basis for jurisdiction and then the choice of law the jurisdiction can mandate under the facts.
The specific issue of liability under such a contract probably is not affected by choice of law. Even in China the law is likely to be the same. I have no idea about whether the Chinese government would execute on an American or Canadian civil judgment. It does seem like a lot of trouble to go through for $129.
