3. What's New in Detail?
 
This update was based on official TableEditor v0.7 Beta release.

What's new in v0.81 including features in v0.8:
-----------------------------------------------
* Table contents are viewed using Microsoft Tabular Data Control (TDC), that means the table is built client-side, not server side, server only sends the base data in CSV (Comma Seperated Values) format. This saves a lot of the transfered data (see note 1 below).
  NOTES: 
         * I don't know how to test Stored Procedures, so this TDC may have errors.
         * Search also work with this TDC view.
  * TDC works in Internet Explorer (4.0 and above).
  * Sometimes, when adding/deleteing records, and pages become more or less, and navigation buttons doesn't show, click once or twice on "Refresh".
 
* Added May 2, 2002: In addition to the TDC viewing, normal table viewing is also available (automatic check for browser).
 
- Sorting: sorts the according to any column Ascending or Descending.
         
+ Databases are defined in a database, and can be administrated via web.
 
+ Defining new Access databases is easy, user can select through a list (Explorer-like) of databases in a folder.
 
+ Configurations are in the administrator database, not te_config.asp, can be changed easily with a web browser.
 
+ Administrator can check Active Users (in Config, enable: CountActiveUsers).
 
* Autoincrement fields are automatically incremented, no need to fill them.
 
* Date fields have an option to insert today's date.
 
* Required fields (don't accept null) are marked with [*] (Under experiment)
 
* Interface changes, highlight rows on mouse over/click (in Config, enable: HighLight).
 
+ Dynamic paging functions (in Config, enable: PageSelector).
 
* Compact/Backup all access databases (administrators only) (in Config, enable: BulkCompact).
 
+ Switch between tables and databases using combo boxes (in Config, enable: ComboTables).
 

Fixes and updates:
-------------------
+ Fixed export to Excel 
+ Better compatibility for more browsers
- Fixed the security risk in v0.7 (by Jeff Wilkinson)
+ Display OLE images (by schwarzk)
+ View all records in a table (by Pete Stucke)
* Dynamic recordset paging (by PStucke) + fixed when records per page become more, while we are on last page, it will go automatically to the real last page (will not display blank page)
+ Export to excel (by Pete Stucke) (in Config, enable: ExportExcel)
+ Multidelete check/uncheck all (by Pete Stucke)
+ Backup database (by unknown)
- ... and some few other fixes, that are not so visible (at least to my testing).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Performance experiment
Tested data transfer for a 800 record database, results were:
 
New format: Page  = 14566 Byte   DB = 492443 Byte
            total =  507009 Byte
 
Old format: Page  = 1018065 Byte
 
Saves nearly 50% of the transfered data
