What's New in Version 2.24

July 9, 1999

IMPORTANT Y2K NOTICE:

As most of you are aware, Chaver-ware is 100% Y2K compatible and has been since version 2.14. However, not all versions of Peachtree are 100% Y2K compatible. Peachtree has an update to all releases from 3.5 and above to make Peachtree 100% Y2K compatible. To find out more about Peachtree and Y2K, visit their web site at http://www.peachtree.com/year2000/default.htm .

As for Peachtree 7.0 and its compatibility with Chaver-ware ® , we do not yet have an answer to that. As always, DO NOT upgrade your Peachtree without first consulting our technical support department.

New Features

• On the Family Screen we added "Other phone Numbers" which list the work, fax, and email address for the adults in the family. This is just a quick view of other numbers
• In Mail Merge, we now only have the appropriate fields for that query going over to the Word Processor instead of all fields
• Added support for our newest international customer in Japan
• Dramatically sped up the Apply to Revenue process
• Enhanced the Holiday listing that occurs when you start Chaverware on a Jewish Holiday or observance
• Added information for the user when Chaverware can not find its data in order to help diagnosis why
• Added an "Applied" field on the Cash Receipt screen to show how much has been applied so far
• Added a command line argument, "/p" and then the path for data i.e. /pc:\chaver2\data. This allows you to create an icon that directly links to different sets of data
• Added the ability to allow for assigning new category links based on the category that is feeding it's original values from a query. i.e. if someone was in category dues98 for $622.50 they could be assigned to Dues99 for the same $622.50
• Added Statement #6 which is a summary based on each category rather than detail for each category
• Added a "Full database information without categories" report. This is similar to the original full database information but does not contain any category information
• Added additional error trapping so that we should not get Peachtree DDE errors anymore
• Added the actual path to where your data is in the status bar next to the user name

Fixed Problems

• In Version 2.22 we created a mail merge problem. This has been fixed
• In Version 2.21 class label reports were not working properly. This has been fixed
• In Version 2.22 and 2.23 we created a problem when adding a new family, you might get a "No Current Record" message, and when double clicking on an individual from the Individual list, you might land on the wrong person in a family. Both of these problems have been fixed
• Enhanced error trapping within the family screen.
• Fixed issue in assigning category links after clicking on class tab in the Family screen and then going back to the "Cat" tab. The class would get assigned instead of regular category. This has been fixed
• In double click on payment screen in family when it brings up Invoices, invoice number was incorrectly formatting as currency if it was numeric and not alphanumeric field. This has been fixed
