ALERE v6.5 KNOWN ISSUES

General Patch - Posted 10/23/09

The current patch is named AC65FIX01.zip. This ZIP file is approximately 856 KB in size.

1. Unzip the update file to a temporary directory.

2. Make sure no one is in ALERE Accounting.

3. Copy the .FRT and .FRX files to the ALERE Accounting \WIN\REPORTS subdirectory directory.

4. If you have changes to WS_LINGO, verify that the changes in the enclosed USRLINGO.DBF will not interfere with your mods. If no mods, simply copy the USRLINGO.* files to the ALERE Accounting root directory.

5. If you do not have changes to the WSHOOKS.DBF, simply copy the enclosed file to the ALERE Accounting root directory. If you have modifications to WSHOOKS.DBF, be aware that this patch uses the R_CURSOR hook to fix a problem that occurs when sending emails with reports that have been renamed. It is not mandatory to install this part of the patch. If you are not using the R_CURSOR hook, you can simply append the WSHOOKS to your existing WSHOOKS.DBF. If you are using R_CURSOR, and desire to install this part of the patch, it will be necessary to create a small program that will contain this command and yours.

6. Copy the other unzipped files to your ALERE Accounting root directory.

7. Enter ALERE Accounting, Go to Manager> System Tools> TIW File Update.

8. Update all System Tables (Combo box at bottom of screen set to "System Tables Only") Note this only has to be done on one company.

9. When done with the update, completely exit the ALERE program.

10. Update is complete.
