Version 4.5.06 - June 30, 2014

•Fixed the backup so it will not ask you if you want to backup if you are updating, or if you clicked on backup from the program, or if you are using Fixdata.

•Fixed: if you are running the Fixdata from the main program, it will now kill the main program. (Be careful, it does not kill the programs on the network. All programs have to be shut down for fixdata to work correctly.

•Added a utility to Fixdata to let you pay off a date range of invoices. This is only for the purpose of fixing data from the old AR. Do not use unless directed!

•Fixed all the style files (color theme files) so they would all work. There were several that came from an old version that would cause the program to crash. We did NOT change the color themes, so many might not look as good. Blue.sty is our new default theme.

Version 4.5.09 - July 14, 2014

•Fixed: When adding a part to the RO from the Parts Lookup, the vendor was not being pulled in.

•Fixed: When inserting a timer to the labor timer there was a GPF error which caused the program to end.

•Added: Invoice 20 which is a copy of invoice 3. However it now has the Email capability. This invoice is custom (for a customer) and has a Credit Card Fee instead of the Supply Tax. (It really uses the Supply Tax so you can't have a Supply tax and a Credit Card Fee.

•Fixed: Problem updating some older files from older version of the software.

•Added the List Format Manager to the Work Order Browse. This option allows you to reorder the fields that display on the screen. For instance if you wanted the date moved to the right or a description moved and displayed to the left. This is accessed by right clicking on the browse itself.

•Added: When you type in the Unit/Tag# in the RO, the program will ask you if you want to update the vehicle's Unit/Tag# . This will help keep the vehicles tag# and odometer/hours in sync with the RO.

•Fixed the Text Editor in L'editor. It was editing in HTML.

•Fixed the Email sending for sending text messages in L'editor. It was making the user press OK after each message. Now there is a progress bar showing how many email messages are sent.

•Added a filter to the Customer Work Order Browse ($) to allow you to filter all of the RO's by one of the customers' vehicles. The vehicle selection shows only the vehicles for the selected customer. You can search the vehicle by Unit# or VIN.

•Added Query to Customer Work Order Browse ($). This allows you to setup custom queries by any field in the work order/Invoice except the memo field. Call if you want to learn how this works before we get the video up.

•Fixed: Balance didn't calculate correctly if there was interest on the RO. This caused an error which in turn wouldn't let you pay for the invoice.

(Additions - 5 , Changes - 1 , Fixes - 3 )

Version 4.5.11 - August 7, 2014

•Added the capability to have custom to do lists using the same reports in Report Manager. You can copy a previously made invoice and save it as todox.rpt (the x is the number of the report). In the Company Setup area you can choose the To Do List number for a Completed / WIP or an Estimate.

There will be a warning if the serial number was already used or if it is not found. You can then still use that number. It will be added if it doesn't exist, along with the date sold.

•Added a POS only override so you can have specific invoices printed if you are printing from the Point of Sale. These are the same invoices that can be used in for repair orders... so you can use either the pre-built invoices or the Report manager invoices that can be changed. This is found in the company setup - Each computer.

•Changed: the Company Setup was getting out of control. Added a Printer Tab and moved all printer setup into that tab. Re-Arranged some of the other tabs, and renamed a couple of other tabs (memo and ToDo). Hopefully this will make it easier to find the different setup options.

•Changed the Customer Editor to Show vehicles (in a vehicle Tab).
