The "Database Error" I posted earlier makes the program completely unusable, since no connections are captured.  Are you folks looking into this?  If so, I'll be patient.  If not, then I'm very disappointed...

Did you check your DMs? I sent you a link to a new build that I made a change to try and address the issue...need your feedback to see if it works as expected.

I am not following, looks perfect meaning the build i sent you worked? If you installed the same build from Object Desktop, it would not have anything new from the original release.

It did.

However, I installed it through the Object Desktop system and it's now working just fine.  Must've been some sort of glitch somewhere.

Thanks!

Yes, that message was not clear. Currently, my installed version does not have the zoom buttons. I did uninstall and reinstall from Object Desktop moments ago. I did not find a DM. Perhaps I do not know where to look.
