The 3.70 release of Pioneer Report MDI fixes bugs when reading GRML dimensions. Dimensions allow you to create different sets of data in a GRML file or web page. The "data sets" create a combo (drop down) box in the input form of the browser window. Each item corresponds to a dimension in the GRML file or web page. Select an item in the combo box and the data set of the dimension displays in the browser window.

They have always been a pain to get working properly. Unless you are using them regularly, it is hard to find the bugs preventing them from displaying properly. However, with the latest release of Pioneer Report MDI, these bugs are gone. Now, the only dimension problems have to do with adding additional capabilities. For example, adding sorting and grouping is a challenge using dimensions. (Actually, it is a challenge without dimensions.)

As an aid in understanding dimensions, an article needs to be developed covering its features.

To keep track of product releases, promotional activity, and web partners, dimensions are used extensively to organize the different sets of data. Pioneer Report MDI is good for data-entry in this case (not perfect). If you combine this with the bulk 'Find and Replace' of Notepad, you have a very nice management tool for monitoring the activities of building a small independent software vendor (ISV).
