Summary:

The latest service pack, SVF Ver. 9.2 Service Pack 7 (SP7), implements some spec changes which may affect existing form files below:

• XML form file
• Form file with multi-pages (2 or higher specified for the number of multi-pages)
• Form file with VISIBLE function (function for attribute formula to manage show/hide items)

With this change, output result may not be exactly same as before applying SP7. In that case, you need to update your form files. 

Solution: 

If you want to show/hide items in a form file with multi-pages, you need to replace "VISIBLE" function with "PAGE_VISIBLE" which is dedicated for multi-pages form. if you are not sure if you are using "VISIBLE" or not, we can provide a tool. Contact us if you want to use it.
