1. Are details blocks still not sortable? I am not sure that I have ever used a detail block where I did not need to establish a sort order. For example, what good is it to be able to establish a detail block of date related records if I can’t have them displayed in date order? 2. What is with how the form displays. There is a painfully slow object by object painting of the form, when it loads. Do I have some setting in correct? 3. While I appreciate that you are in Great Britain, I’d like to display dollar amount with dollar symbol, but I get the Pound symbol. But it is not clear to me how I’d do that.

The planning is in there, but i may not be activated yet. It shouldn't
be that hard to add to the current implementation. Any later
optimization will have to account for it though.

To some degree it depends on how it is being loaded. Are you talking
about in your program, or in SIMPOL Personal, or what?

Again, is this in your program, in SIMPOL Personal, or where? I think
currently SIMPOL Personal retrieves the currency symbol from the system
settings. Otherwise, when you create the SBLNumSettings object, if you
don't pass a currency symbol in to it, it will default to the £ sign.
All you need to do is to pass this in when you create the object, and
then make sure you pass one of these objects to the STR() function when
you call it for formatting strings that include the currency symbol.
