--- Comment #4 from Braath Waate braathwaate@whitewaterhill.com 2013-06-16 22:46:45 CDT --- With wine 1.6-rc2, it is not possible to create a new company or open a new database in paywindow 11.0.21, so it is not possible to determine whether the software still experiences the exception problem.
On windows, paywindow will open an existing database or offer the option to create a new company on the file menu. On ubuntu + wine 1.6-rc2, the New Company option is greyed out, and if an old database is selected, the software does not open it. (After an attempted open, the login screen disappears and the database indicator at the bottom of Paywindow says Database: NONE).
