Cents = .000

Post by Frank Henderson »

I've just become aware that all reports are reporting cents with three digits in all printable reports. For instance, $3.25 becomes $3.250. I'm preparing to print our quarterly reports and noticed this phenomenon. We recently had a problem where all Offering contributions (from the beginning of the year!) were being changed to a different contribution fund. Gee, do you think there's some file corruption somewhere? I've reinstalled the program and the 08/11 upgrade. Guess I'd better do it again, huh? Has anyone ever seen this occur?

Fixed! But PC has been closing after a restore

Post by Frank Henderson »

I just ran a registry cleaner and retried PowerChurch. The .000 is now .00. BUT maybe somebody could tell me what's happening in this situation: after I restore a backup I get booted out of PC and have to re-open it. This has been going on for quite some time even though I've uninstalled and reinstalled.

Unless you're getting a specific error message when you get "booted out" it's by design. That's something that was included in a maintenance release to prevent someone who normally doesn't have access to certain features to take a backup home, restore it, and access data they couldn't have otherwise.

As far as your 3 decimal places issue is concerned, let us know if that happens again.

Normal access?

Post by Frank Henderson »

But I DO have normal access to the program. I'm the administrator with access via the password that I use when at church. So this "feature" is, basically, protecting me from myself. Actually it's no big deal so long as I can re-enter the program and still have available the data that I just restored before it closed.
