Accented characters now display properly in the Financial Reporter when retrieved from the General Ledger.
If a series on non-contiguous accounts were used in a range in the Financial Reporter, and they were not specified in ascending order, or a reference was made to an account above the last account in the Chart, then the accounts did not total properly. This has been fixed, and accounts may be specified in any order.
Financial Reporter crashed in some cases if you dragged a new account from the Account Tree onto a SmartSheet into a cell containing an account / department.

Option to turn column headings on/off is now allowed for detail only type import templates.
When importing Detail Only type batches, the 'Entry number' field is no longer required to be in the import file.
Export Accounts no longer permits you to set the option "Export figures as" when not appropriate.
When importing accounts with 'Add new records' off, the 'Account type' field is no longer a required field in the import file.
Import functions now show the field name and other details in error messages even if 'Validate before importing' is not set.
When importing batches, only the 'String' type worked for date fields. The 'ASCII - YYYYMMDD' and 'Date' types now work.
If the 'Validate before importing' option was on, and there was an error in the import file, the program closed in some cases.

If Account Code is invalid in an import batch, the error message said the Department Code was invalid.

Import functions now check for invalid dates in all cases.
When importing accounts from an import file not containing the currency code field, the currency code was not set to home and was left blank.
Importing accounts to a departmentalized GL with the 'Validate' option on and where the import file did not include the current balance caused a integrity error.

Import failed in some cases if the last field on a line in the import file was empty quotes.
In some cases, the progress bar displayed during import batches was not advancing, making it appear that nothing was happening.
Import now detects an unbalanced import batch when amounts with more than 2 decimal places cause an out of balance condition.
Import functions now strip leading zeros from account and department fields in the import file.
In some cases, files containing a comma in a string field could not be imported.
In some cases, there was an error when importing when string fields contained a comma.
In some case on XP, 2000 and NT machines, the Auto-workstation install ran when you started the program, even though a workstation install had already been done and was not needed.
After adding entries to a batch, blank lines appeared in the grid in some cases, and you had to scroll up and down to refresh the grid.
The number of entries shown in the batch status was one less than the actual number in the Close Year batch if you closed the year for a single department.
It was possible to accidentally enter an amount with more than 2 decimal places in a batch detail. In some cases this caused the batch to be out of balance in such a way that the posting did not detect the out of balance condition and the unbalanced batch was posted. The posting function performs additional checks to ensure each detail is in balance and that the total debits and credits of all the entries matches the total debit and credits in the batch control total.
Additional Comments in Account Notes did not print on the Account Notes report unless there were also time stamped notes for the account.
If the Company Name in the Company Profile contained double quote characters, some reports would not print.
