The list of previous site assessments does not appear in the list box when attempting to load a saved assessment.

This can occur if text saved within the data file (for instance text entered from the Assessment Details screen) includes the characters ‘&’ or '<'. Please avoid using these characters when entering text into the system until a new version of the SAT is released.

If this has already happened, please contact sat@hsl.gov.uk.

When opening or printing a report, a 'shell command error 31' occurs if you do not specify an extension when saving the report. This should only occur if there is a '.' in the path name of the saved file. 1) Manually add a '.txt' or '.rtf' extension. 2) Save the report to a folder without a '.' in its name. Beta 0.22 1.00
