    BUG: Login button images keep resetting to defaults

    I have no idea why, but the login button keeps resetting to its default login1.gif login2.gif settings.
    This is most annoying, especially as the current site I'm developing has JPG's for it's buttons.

    Does anyone have a workaround / fix? Are Actinic aware of this?

    I would take a look at the database but I haven't got Access on my machine

    EDIT:
    Just been playing around with deleting the backup.mdb and previous.mdb and rebacking up, and despite the fact that my options say I'm using the new images (login.jpg and login2.jpg), if I delete those 2 files then rebackup the database, login1.gif appears as being in the backup.mdb file (but interestingly, not the main ActinicCatalog.mdb file)

    If I then close Actinic (after deleting the backup and backing up) and reopen, Actinic is once again using login1.gif and login2.gif, yet they still don't appear to be in ActinicCatalog.mdb (using Windows built-in Find Files containing text on Win98 SE).

    My guess is that for some reason Actinic isn't loading the values out of ActinicCatalog.mdb and as such then loads it's default values.

    Also of note is that I've deleted login1.gif and login2.gif from the Actinic site directory.

    Your guess is correct, and this is a problem.

    The first time you change the value, it remembers your changes, but it does not remember any changes after that - whether or not you do a database backup.

    The workaround is to manually enter the filenames into the bottom of the 'SetupInfo' table in the ActinicCatalog.mdb database. As you don't have Access, I suggest you email your database to me at communityadmin@actinic.co.uk and I will make the changes for you.

    Please note, this is only a potential issue if you are using jpeg images - if you are using gifs you can just rename them to the system default.

    This will be fixed soon.

      Another work around is to switch to the Site Defaults page and press APPLY the changes will be saved then.
