I have a DEO application written in 2.5 - Diary appointments program - running on a server and six work stations for the past 18 months. All working well.
The app. is basically a grid with the columns coloured according to whether the date is a Saturday, Sunday, Bank Holiday or an absence taken from a holiday absence table.
Two work stations have suddenly started to make errors and colour the absence on the wrong dates. The other four work stations all work correctly. All the data and programs are on the server so are common to each station.
The date / time of each workstation is correct.
Have recently installed 2.6 Runtime on each workstation but did not see errors immediatley.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?

Could be due to differences in each workstations BDE or ini settings.
Not sure what. Print out the application ini file from a working
workstation and a nonworking workstation and see if any of the settings
differ.

Are all the workstations the same OS?
