Subject: Re: Item #Limits
The "clmt" external attribute does work. However, I also wish to have only 1
entry on the roster for each item (item QtyX not item, item,item,ect.). If I
use the "irng" item attribute it overrides the "clmt" unit external
attribute and I'm back to square one. Have I missed something? The item in
question is the only item in its catagory at this time.

Success!
I had a kind fellow message me offlist telling me that apparently
IE 5.x SP2 changes some of your Visual Basic files, whether you
like it or not. I reinstalled my copy of the most recent VB
Runtime Library (along with a couple of other obscure MS patches
for good measure), restarted, and then had no problem installing.
I had to restart again after installing though, as at first AB
would not recognize my CD in the drive, and kept telling me my
version was unregistered.
Thanks again for your help, Rob.

Rob,
If the problem is during installation, perhaps the installer you use was
written in VB or uses pieces of the VB libraries.
Just a thought...

Subject: Re: 2.2a Mysterious Conflict with Windows 98 SE
Sure enough, just after I hit send, another possibility dawns on me.
One thing that AB DOES use is the standard Microsoft libraries (DLLs) for
accessing the internet (for the auto-update stuff and integrate downloads).
These libraries are constantly being updated by Microsoft with each new
release of Internet Explorer. They are SUPPOSED to remain 100% backwards
compatible with previous versions, but Microsoft has never been very good
at that (they have enough trouble getting things to simply work as
advertised in each new release). It's quite possible that they broke
something in IE5 SP2 that AB relies upon. It's also possible that the
commercial installation tool I use (which is NOT written in VB) also runs
afoul of this change in behavior. I'll keep this in mind in case someone
else stumbles into this problem.
Thanks to the person who flagged this obscure solution to us! I don't think
I would have ever thought of this as a possibility.
