Hi Ben,
Thanks for your response; really appreciated. The only thing I would say is
that we are using the latest version 4.5.1 and it is still mandatory. I
don't think I'll be able to do Adlib Designer work for this Client remotely
(I assume that's how you make it non-mandatory).
The only feedback I would provide is that fields shouldn't become mandatory
unless they absolutely have to be; it creates unnecessary information being
inputted and affects the software's usability.
Thanks for getting back to me Ben :)
