The Main menu shows the version number of the database. Click on the version number to see where tables
are linked and other troubleshooting and contact information.Alt-Z from the main menu lets a super user make
programmed table structure changes without having a developer log onto their network. Only one user has
to make these changes. Other users should be out of the database when table structure changes are being made.
Updates are normally performed by sending a link to you via email with a summary of the changes.
Follow the link and unzip the file onto your server in the same folder where your data tables are located.
Double click on the database to create a shortcut. A super user should then run the new version on the server.
Answer Yes when asked if you want to tell others the new version is available. When other users log into
the database, they will be offered the new version. If they answer Yes, the database will close and they
can reopen the database in about 20 seconds when the copy operation is complete. This update process also
distributes the MDW file, where encrypted user accounts are stored, so any user can log in from any PC.
