Thank you for your question. This is a limitation I had to accept in order to dynamically generate the pages with only the fields selected for display. I could add the feature to specify field types in any order but that would require more complex configurations. I suppose I could make that optional so those who want the flexibility can go through the more complex configurations and keep the default for those who do not want to deal with the additional complexity. However, from my perspective, there really needs to be a strong demand for that flexibility because it make my program much more complex and prone to failure as well. So, at least for now, I have no plans to change that.

Sorry so slow to respond - missed your comment. Here is an article that might help. http://www.microscope-microscope.org/imaging/image-resolution.htm Thanks for your recommendations!

My plan for the upgrade is export data (in the form of a spreadsheet) from JE and import to CP. If need be, I can write a separate database program that reads from one and writes to the other.

Thank you. I designed my old program (NM Collector JE) to run directly from a USB on Windows, Mac, and Linux AND share the same data. Unfortunately, Windows and Mac are making sharing the same data across platforms more difficult with all of their security rules - the data needs to go in certain locations or they will not allow me to sign/notarize the applications and without that only people like you who are willing to go to the command line can run the software. Of course, most developers are going with web-applications to solve that problem but most of my past customers do not want to store their data "in the cloud." So, once I get the basic app working in each environment, I will come up with data sharing alternatives so customers can choose the one that works best for them. Thanks again. :)
