v10 Maintenance Release dated 10-27-2008 now available!

Post by Zephyr »

Here are some of the issues that have been corrected in this Maintenance Release:

Under certain circumstances, if you attempted to add an account during the Accounting Setup Assistant but entered a number outside the standard range for the account type you were adding, the program would enter a loop that there was no way to get out of.

Under the Maintain Chart of Accounts screen, if you changed an account number, attempted to close the screen and then clicked Cancel on the prompt, the accounts would still be changed in the data file. If you then clicked the Save button, the program would indicate that the account already exists. If you clicked the Cancel button, the fund detail in the middle of the screen would disappear.

Attempting to save a Custom Report as a file with spaces in the name would generate a syntax error.

The program would not allow you to reassign or define a vendor ID in Accounts Payable starting with the letters MISC or VOID because MISC and VOID are two internal, pre-defined vendors.

If you chose the option to use Intelligent Barcodes on labels, the program would attempt to install or generate them every time you generated labels, regardless of whether you were choosing to print the Intelligent Barcodes or not.

The "reassign an envelope number" feature in the Contributions module would allow you reassign to an invalid number such as 0 or a negative number.

If you clicked the Add button under the Modify Unposted Contributions screen, entered information then clicked Add again (without saving the first record), two records would be created when you clicked the Save button and one of those would have no envelope number.

It was possible to create two personal profiles by double clicking on the Add button.

On the Maintain List of Contributions screen, if you clicked the Add button then the Next button and answered Yes to the prompt asking if you wanted to save the changes, the program would indicate that the fund number can not be zero. If you clicked OK on that message, the program would display an existing fund rather than returning you to the record you were trying to add.

The Account Close To Report in Fund Accounting will now note any accounts that have somehow been set to close to a group account.

Under certain circumstances, contributions for the same date were not being combined on the "Daily Amounts" layout of the Contribution Statement report.

Maintenance Release

We are on a network. Can the maintenance release be loaded on individual computers instead of the network.

The maintenance release should be installed on the server computer only. It will update the main executable, which is then accessed by the clients on the network.

If you have PowerChurch Plus networked properly, accessing it across a mapped network drive, you can download and install the Maintenance Release from a workstation.

If PowerChurch Plus is accessed across drive P: from the workstation (where P: is the shared PowerChurch folder on the server), simply run the Maintenance Release installer and when prompted for the Destination Directory, choose P:\PCPLUS10.

Sometimes issues arise from trying to install it this way, but in theory it should work just fine *if everything is set up and networked properly*.

The easiest thing to do, as Neil said, is just to install it directly on the server.

My point exactly 8)

It's supposed to work ... that said, Murphy's Law always applies.
