HI David,
one small request.. when creating a new discussion please put it with a relevant header based on the issue you face as it will help other forum members in future while trying to find solution for similar issue.. Just posting as today's Bug in the header might not be very helpful for the forum members...
also I would suggest to crete a SAP message if you find a new bug as SAP engineer will be best person on the bug reports and fixes and they can create a new bug to future fixes and provide an ADAPT number to track...
Now coming to the question can you post a screenshot of the error and step by step process you are doing to re produce the same issue in my machine?
For question 2. ; I can understand your fraustratuion with IDT as it's probably new for you.. But there is no real answers to those questions.. also these questions are very subjective which I would doubt any one could answer to your satisfaction... I have been using this tool for a period of 2 years since it's release years now and my personal feeling is this is a mature product and does the job done much better than lot of other tools including Universe Designer..
Thanks!!
