I installed this release and my "About" pop-up shows 2/8/11 as the program date, but
I am seeing a pop-up stating there is a new release. Your web site does not show a release
that is newer, so what is going on?

There was a quickie 2/10 Maintenance Release to fix a problem with landscape reports in the program. Somehow, after making a change in the reporting system to make it respect the default settings of the printer (like paper tray and page layout) Crystal Reports stopped telling the printer to make landscape reports come out in landscape.

After running the maintenance release, the pcs on my network no longer have valid paths. This has happened after the last two maintenance releases. Am I going to have to create new paths each time I run a maintenance release?

This should not be happening, as the MRs only update the main program on the server, they should not be changing anything.

However, some questions:

1. what version of Windows is your 'server' running ??
2. is the Powerchurch directory shared to all with FULL sharing permissions?
3. Is the shared Powerchurch directory properly Mapped on every client machine per the instructions in this Knowledgebase article ?? http://powerchurch.com/support/kb/kbvie ... icle_id=33
