Hallo

I have some problems with DataPerfect version 2.0 as well as 2.1.

In some reports expressions like "if", "else", "substring" etc. are not
accepted. If such an error occurs, you can eliminate it suddemly by writing 
this words in upper cases, if it was in lower cases or vice versa. Next day,
may be, you are forced to change it again. Moreover, somedays the reports are
working with those statments, next day they are ignoring it. For these reasons
report tools are totaly unusable. There are databases which never have this 
failure, others are full of it. A reason for these differences was not found till today.
If you answer please send me a mail because I don't have news access.

Thank in advance
