I downloaded the latest maintenance release and now the date does not print on my check stub. Is there a correction for this?

[Zorak]

Yes, this was an oversight and has been fixed internally. We will hopefully get a new release out Monday or Tuesday.

I am trying to update the 11.5 maintenance release, and I keep getting an error code.

"An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file: Deletefile failed; code 32"

All attempts to retry yield the same results. Suggestions?

There may be a few things to look at:

1. Is anyone else on the network using Powerchurch ?? If so, have them log out.
2. Do you have ADMIN rights under Windows? If not, you will need to have someone who does do the install. If you do, then reboot the computer and try the install again.

Let us know what happens.
