Goldmine and Windows NT

This is a bit of a hairy situation. The current versions of Goldmine (ie. 6.0, 6.6 and 6.7) are not supported under the Windows NT operating system. This holds for both Client and Server Installations. The latest version that will still install under the NT OS is 5.7. The latest release version for this is 5.70.30503, which was release in May 2003. However this appears to have some bugs under NT.

• Selecting a value from a Lookup dropdown in any activity screen will not fill the value into the corresponding field. You can work around this problem by selecting the Lookup Window... from the bottom of the menu and selecting the value. Typing in the field is also a work around.
• The Right click menu (on the history tab etc.) is limited only options of Zoom, Options and 1011011. The normal menu is not accessible or displayed. This is an issue if you want to edit the entry in the tab.

A previous version 5.70.20222 (or Goldmine Sales and Marketing 2002 MR2) does not have these Issues under NT4.0 but you do miss out on the following fixes and ehancements.

• Changed: Security access for GoldMine e-mail and scheduled activities now matches behavior in 5.50.10424 release.
• Fixed: Word97 problem where the Link (add-in) would stop responding when merging GoldMine data.
• Fixed: History tab sort order issue where the entries were displayed in reverse order when a filter was applied. (Applies to Microsoft SQL Server based systems only.)
• Fixed: Issue where applying the Optimize Org Chart Access option would cause queries on Detail records to no longer utilize shadow fields. (Applies to Microsoft SQL Server based systems only.)

However at this stage 5.70.20222 is the only version which will allow users to normally function under Windows NT4.0
