5.0.90 posted 3/12/02

  • Fix problem caused when an older version of NM5 is used to access an NM5 database created or modified by a newer version of NM5. Program now warns to update NM5 when an older version is accessing a database created by a newer version. This could happen if user is running NM5 on more than one computer with a shared database and one machine is an updated NM5 version and the other is not.
  • Data import from WaveStation would not import items with empty Description or Artist fields. This was desired outcome since NM5 requires these fields contain data. Instead now NM5 will use 'No Artist' for the NM5 Artist if WaveStation Artist field is empty or "No Title" for the NM5 Title field if the WaveStation Description field is empty. This will allow these cuts to be imported with this data missing.
