Something seems to have gone wrong somewhere and I need help. Under Traffic / BOL & WB I get the screen with the long list of WB-s. However when I click on "Show ordered Waybills" nothing shows up in the "ordered" column. This happens with just one of my ProTrak folders namely the one that is my main folder for my current string of REAL OP Sessions on the SVL. This folder has some engine changes in it following the saving of my ProTrak folder from the end of my 4-th OP Session. When I go back to the ProTrak folder from exactly at the end of printing the paperwork for the 4-th OP Session I can click on "Show ordered Waybills" and indeed those WB-s that are ordered are indeed so annotated in the Ordered column.
Does anybody have any idea what might be going on, or has anybody seen this before.

Are you using the same updates in all of your operations folders??

I installed Ver 354 in early July and then cut all the paperwork for my OP Session 4. I saved that end of session folder as SVL-post-s4. Then later in July I installed Ver 355 which fixed a bug wrt a train at its turning point. In August in my ongoing main SVL folder I did some train length fixes to solve the "Long switchlist - Short cut list" problem I and others had had. The day after Jim passed on I installed Ver 360. In September I did some motive power assignments to specific trains. Didn't do much until earlier this month when I ran into the inability to show the "Ordered WB-s in my main SVL folder. I "Changed ProTrak folders" and brought back SVL-post-S4 and the ordered WB-s showed properly. So I renamed a copy of my SVL-post-S4 as SVL, i.e. I reestablished my main SVL folder and then went back and redid all the changes for which I had notes for and all is well again. Sorry for the long answer.

I had problems with 360 and went back to 343 in order to make things work. Maybe you have found the solution to some of the 360 quirks. We may have lots of things to discuss at Andy's in the spring.

Andy has mentioned that there are problems with Ver. 360 but I haven't seen any succinct identification of what are the problems. I'd encourage anybody who knows for sure to post them to this forum (Maybe under a better named forum than this forum about my Ordered WB-s)
I have a personal note here that Ver 355 fixes a problem with Ver 354 wrt reporting a train at its turn point. Does anybody else have a note along that line? Jim's notes on his release of Ver 355 doesn't mention that problem so I'm not sure where my note came from
wrt Ver 343, I'm kinda chicken to go that far back as Jim I think made some small fixes for me somewhere along the line. I do have a saved Version 355. For some reason according to my notes I didn't install any of versions 356, 357, 358 or 359.
Would it be a consensus that I reinstall my Ver 355 to replace Ver 360?
thanks

This was my experience. When I entered 360, I lost all of the car orders and would of had to re-enter all of that data. Also about 1/3 of the boxcars and gons were immediately routed to the cleanout track. I didn't try to figure out what was going on and just dropped back to 343 because that version was working well for me. I didn't download for a while and didn't try to use any of the 350's.

Fred,
I think I'll revert back to Ver 355 which I saved here on my PC. I and others cannot find any release notes for Ver 360, so I am a little skeptical of what was "fixed" in that release. I sent Howard a copy of my saved Ver 355 and I think he was going to make it available thru this forum.

Hi,
I have not been operating for way too long, so I have no feedback on how any recent version preformed.
However I do have a copy of rev 359 dated 10 Aug 17. If anyone wants it or it would help to post I can send a copy.
