Is it fixed yet?

Not yet, but very positive progress.

The problems areas identified to date are in Sales Code, Inventory and Equipment Defaults. With the changes in operating system logic that Microsoft incorporated, it is requiring a significant rewrite of Helios code in these areas.

The head of development advised on Friday that we should have an update to Helios to test within the next couple of weeks, so testing should happen right after the Orlando show and late November should see (barring more issues being identified) an update to Helios that is SP2 compliant.

If anyone identifies any issue with SP2 before and/or after the compliant update is release please email sp2@gohelios.com ... this issue is and will continue to have the highest priority inside Helios. Changes of this nature take a long time to work thru, it would have been nice if Microsoft had given advance notice (or any notice )of the likely impact on application code.
