Showcase Query

So.

I open Foo.dbq in Showcase Query on my local computer.
I open the exact same Foo.dbq, from the exact same directory, on my remote computer.

I look at the properties for variable DATE1 on my local computer. It is "Range of Values (BETWEEN)"

I look at the properties for variable DATE1 on my remote computer. It is "Single Value".

...

WHAT

IT IS THE SAME FILE I HAVE NOT CHANGED ANYTHING WHY

Does Showcase Query have an option for "Make all variable types into Single Value on file open"? Why would anyone ever code a program to do this?  D::
