Hi Kevin,
As Stonie mentioned on Friday, you should have LDM 6.15.0
installed on your system. This is the official, UNIDATA supported version.
6.15.0 does not have this issue that we have seen at AllisonHouse, or at the
College of DuPage. Additionally, you'll need to follow the instructions that
Stonie gave on Friday as well once you get that version on.
