A Quick Fix for the Student Progress Report

We noticed a problem today when one of our users called in to ask about a few of our reports.  Namely, the "Student Progress Report" (first report on the list, for therapists) was not producing the "progress" column at all.  Obviously, this limited the usefulness of this report.  :)

If you're interested in the reason why this failure occurred, I'll give a brief explanation:  We used to only collect progress information for each student at an appointment once.  Some of our therapists came to us and said that they really needed to be able to track progress seperately for each goal.  We knew that this was an important feature, so we changed our data structures to store progress at the "goal" level rather than at the "appointment" level.  However, this report was still pulling data from the original location, and not coming up with anything.

In any case, I just want everyone to know that the report is once again functioning as we'd expect, displaying all progress data as it should.  Thanks to Sandy Holterfield for bringing that to our attention, we got it fixed as fast as we possibly could.

Notice something that doesn't seem quite right to you? Let us know.  Fixing problems is always our #1 priority.
