Adagio BankRec 8.1B

May 6, 2010

Compatible with Adagio Invoices 9.0A (although BankRec does not interface directly with Invoices). Compatibility with earlier versions of Adagio Invoices is maintained.
Fully compatible with Windows 7. Supports MAPI email interface to Outlook and other mail clients on Windows 7.
Added an Excel Direct button to various grids, including View Customer and the customer transaction tab for Receivables, OrderEntry, Invoices and Time&Billing transactions. Use the 'Enable SF Export' option in Edit User to enable or disable the Excel Direct button.
Excel Direct from grids now has a progress bar and cancel for grids with a very large number of rows.
When retrieving payroll into BankRec your batch can contain checks from multiple payroll banks and they will be separated into batches by bank. In previous versions sites with multiple payroll bank accounts had to retrieve into BankRec between payroll runs for each bank.
Supports the 'Implied decimal' option added in Ledger 9.0C and Invoices 9.0A (in the User Preferences function). The setting is by Adagio user, for all companies, and when set in any Adagio module it is set for all Adagio module versions that support it. Turn the option on if you want a decimal automatically entered before the last two digits. For example, typing 400 in an amount field and tabbing to the next field will result in the number being changed to 4.00; typing 400.00 and tabbing to the next field will leave the number as 400.00. With the option off, typing in 400 will result in the number being changed to 400.00 (the behavior in previous versions). Percent fields and exchange rate fields are not affected by this setting.
The Help | About dialog now has a 'System Info' tab showing the version and path to various DLLs used by the program. DONE
The Designer supports UNC paths. If you open Invoices data with UNC path (rather than a mapped drive) then the Open Receipts Specification dialog changes and does not have a folder view but uses a browse instead. In previous versions the dialog gave an error. If a mapped network drive is used the dialog is the same as in previous versions.
Excel Direct (from finders, smart finders and from grids in some modules) can be configured to export an ASCII CSV file (instead of sending data direct to Excel) and start an application that automatically opens the file. This allows export when Excel is not installed and provides support for other spreadsheets such as OpenOffice.org. Note that unlike Excel Direct there is no formatting with CSV. To enable this functionality, entries must be made manually in the file \softrak\system\ssi2xl.ini. Refer to the Configuring Excel Direct to Export to CSV topic in the Readme help for details.
Added 'Report Preview Options' in the File | Options function to allow you to set the default preview zoom factor (percentage) and preview window state (full screen or partial screen) for previewing reports to screen. These settings are saved by workstation. Note: this applies to previewing reports only (but not previewing orders, invoices and credit notes).
Old formats such as Lotus, Dbase and Clipper that are almost never used any more have been removed from import templates, leaving Excel, ASCII CSV (Delimited), ASCII Fixed Length and PSV Delimited. The old formats may be manually turned back on for sites that need them. See the Upgrading section below for details.
If there are errors during any import function, the error message dialog displaying the error (e.g. "Errors have been written to the log file C:\softrak\data\xxIMPERR.ddd.") now allows you to view or print the log file.
If you accidentally double-clicked on the Customer button (only a single click is required) in toolbar, in some cases it was possible to Adagio BankRec 8.1B 2 of 3 BR20100506 3-May-10 open 2 instances of the Edit Customer function, which in turn caused errors.
You could not post a reconciliation for a bank that had no activity and had no outstanding transactions.
When receipts were printed on A4 paper, vertical lines in the detail section extended through the footer in some cases.
Typing the Adagio user password on the Open dialog displayed the characters very slowly when on a network in rare cases.
If you reversed a Cash Invoice from Payables the Reconciliation Posting Journal was unbalanced.
If your bank was set to increment batch deposit descriptions by number (not date), when you copied or moved a single deposit entry from an existing batch to new batch, the batch deposit description and reference within the new batch were retained from the original batch rather than incrementing as expected.
If you enter negative cash in Receivables (such as for a bank service charge) the negative miscellaneous receipt now reduces the Deposits total instead of showing up as a Payment.
When you selected Historical transactions for Receivables on the Transactions tab in view customer, loading the grid was noticeably slow when across a network. In addition, if the Transactions tab was the last tab you visited in the customer, the next time you opened a customer it was noticeably slow.
The 'Last access' date was not updated if the program was started from the Adagio menu of another application or from an icon with parameters that bypassed the login screen. Therefore the field was not up to date on the login screen the next time you started the program.
