Introduction

This Service Pack applies to the Ascent Advanced Forms V3.8 SR01 Validation module.

New Features

Service Pack 2 for the Ascent Advanced Forms - Validation module SR01 provides the following new features.

Ascent Advanced Forms Validation can now run with .NET 2.0.

Resolved Problems

Service Pack 2 for the Ascent Advanced Forms - Validation module SR01 resolves the following problems.

If the Field State Filter is set to "reject/error," fields with state "none" are now activated correctly.
SCE FieldRules are now applied during Table Auto-Completion.
If a previously-suspended batch containing alternate values without a zone or assigned page number is opened, Ascent Advanced Forms Validation now functions correctly.
If a project name contains the string "-I", automatic Validation is no longer started when "Validation Scripting" is chosen in the Administration module. (SPR25442)
During manual validation, the state of all empty fields is no longer set to the value "empty." Functionality is now compatible with the behavior of version 3.7.
The method Form.Show vbModal now opens a form modally, as it did prior to Service Pack 1. (SPR26315)
If multiple instances of Ascent Advanced Forms Validation are started remotely within an Ascent Capture workflow using the Microsoft Terminal Service, Validation now functions correctly. Problems occurred because these Validation instances could not recognize each other. Now each Validation instance uses a unique identifier consisting of a date and time stamp. This affects the log file names which now have the format DOKuStarValidation_<identifier>.log (for example, DOKuStarValidation_20061016091056123.log). Log files are deleted automatically after five days.
When recovering a batch, Ascent Advanced Forms Validation now functions correctly if the batch includes extensive User Data or Single Click Entry data. (SPR 27314)
If the Presentation Service is used to hide fields and the Field Filter is used, Ascent Advanced Forms Validation now functions correctly even if the specified state doesn't occur for any field of the currently-loaded batch.
If Internet Explorer 7.0 is installed, a script error no longer occurs when a project is opened in Ascent Advanced Forms Validation. (SPR 27746)
The method FileOpenAutoRotate of the library DOKuStarResult26.dll now functions correctly.
The "Cannot find scan.exe file in History" error no longer occurs. (SPR 27173)

Installing the Service Pack

Service Packs for Ascent Advanced Forms Validation module are available from the Kofax Web site at www.kofax.com. Go to the Support | Downloads Library area and locate the Ascent Advanced Forms Validation 3.8 link.

Note that there are two Service Packs: Service Pack 2 for the Extraction module and Service Pack 2 for the Validation module. If you use both modules and want to install the Service Packs, you must download the Service Packs and run their separate installations.

In addition, Ascent Advanced Forms Validation 3.8 must be installed before you install the Service Packs. If you attempt to install the Service Packs without the required version of Ascent Advanced Forms, the Service Pack installation will not complete successfully.
