It is only reserved words that are causing this problem. FROM, TO and DATE in
my case. I've changed them to FROMD, TOD and ADATE and I get onto the next
layer of problems.

This is nearly all working in 3.6Dg, apart from the ordering problem.

Second problem, grids on the tab I select as the starting view do not appear.
If I
select a different tab, then the previous one is fine when you switch to it.
I have caller view, appointment view, staff view and setup view. All fail if
they are on top, but are fine when you select them from an alternative start
- most of the time - on occasions these disapear as well, but the navigate is
still operational.

Third problem, ordering. This does not work correctly on 3.6Dg but was 'OK'
on 3.6Cf.
When selecting a column, in 3.6 the list starts from the selected record and
you can't scroll up from there. In 4, text columns go to a blank grid. The
OLNK_* is set to '= <NULL>', not a valid selection as all my string data has
a default of blank string so that concatonate works. This is not consistant,
as a couple of columns work OK, even allowing scrolling up, and the attached
incremental search is fine. The ones that fail sometimes give Dynamic SQL
error -804, and the monitor is showing an additional PARAM with the OLNK_*
entry, using the primary key as well.

The only thing that I should say is that I am still using Dialect 1, which is
important in this case as we have three years worth of data to bring from
IB5.6 once we have a stable next version.
