Financial Reporter now optionally take a third parameter to multiply the result

transaction drill down in the Financial Reporter for multi-currency transactions

a database with a very large number of notes.

checks the "Opportunistic Locking" settings to ensure they are correctly set on
the workstation.

Locking" settings to ensure they are correctly set on the
workstation.

Drive is correct and up to date.

user has installation privileges to local machines running XP, 2000 or

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.
- New import / export templates default to having no fields selected and
the terminology for available and selected fields is clearer.
- The default import /
export account templates have been changed to be more generic.
- New sample import
files and matching templates have been added to the sample data.
- Import functions
write errors to a log file.

If you copy your database to another directory, the path to the import file 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.
- The 'Entry number' in 'Detail
Only' import files had to be formatted as a string. It now also accepts a
number.
-
If Account Code is invalid in an import batch, the error message said the
Department Code was invalid.

lines can now be imported.

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.
- When importing a
Detail Only type batch that does not contain the "E" record type field, you can
now set a default value for the Record Type.
- 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.

deleted in some cases.

occurred in batch entry if you pressed the "Enter" key twice in rapid
succession.

journal for the retained earnings posting if the 'Auto-print posting journal
after post' option is set in the Company Profile.

creating a view.
