Adagio SalesAnalysis 8.1B

Compatible with Adagio Invoices 9.0A. Compatibility with earlier versions of Adagio Invoices is maintained.

Added an Excel Direct button to various grids, including View Customer and the customer transactions tab for Receivables, OrderEntry, Invoices and Time&Billing transactions. Also the View Item grid. 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.

The Help | About dialog now has a 'System Info' tab showing the version and path to various DLLs used by the program.

Supports the 'Implied decimal' option added in Ledger 9.0C (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.

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.

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 statements/letters).

Typing the Adagio user password on the Open dialog displayed the characters very slowly when on a network in rare cases.

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.

Old formats such as Lotus, Dbase and Clipper that are almost never used any more have been removed from import / export 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.

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 section for details.

Some of the Standard Reports could not be printed if another program installed a different version of the Crystal print engine Adagio SalesAnalysis 8.1B 2 of 3 SA20100405 03-May-2010 (CRPE32.DLL) in the \windows\system32 folder (\windows\SysWOW64 on a 64-bit OS). SalesAnalysis now loads the print engine from the \softrak\system\win32 folder to avoid this problem.

The print engine is only installed to the \softrak\system\win32 folder, and not to the \windows\system32 folder, so that it does not affect other applications that may not load it from their own folder.

Some of the Standard Reports could not be printed if you placed the 8.5 version of the Crystal print engine (CRPE32.DLL) in the \softrak\system\crpe folder for use by Adagio PrintTool, in order for it to print custom reports designed in Crystal Reports for Adagio that use features requiring the 8.5 print engine. SalesAnalysis no longer loads the print engine from this folder.

For single-segment item numbers, the import set the item number to "IC" rather than the item number from the import file.

If the Adagio Receivables 9.0A data dictionary (@R90A) was installed by installing Receivables 9.0A or OrderEntry 8.1C, and your SalesAnalysis database was interfaced to Receivables 8.1A or older, some of the summary reports in the Standard Reports could not be printed in some cases.

After printing any Standard Report, printing another Standard Report gave the error message "Critical Error: [1011] insufficient rights to create file in data directory." and the report did not print. Note: This problem was also fixed by installing the System Updater (2009.11.09) or (2009.12.07).
