Farm Biz Update 5A

Farm Biz Version 5A has several new features: (Released November 2007)
Windows Vista Compliant: To Order online click here.

Fixes the conflict when certain versions of Microsoft Office would cause Farm Biz to terminate because of a license conflict with MS Office.

Fixes a year-end close problem when closing the year. Close the year works correctly on all prior versions of Windows but not Vista.

Versions 4B.3 and earlier running on Vista fails to remove the income & expense transactions for the entire year. This Vista inconsistency is fixed in version 5A.

Some Vista security settings may prevent Farm Biz from backing up compressed (zipped). When a zipped backup is necessary, instructional message boxes are displayed. It is necessary to manually zip/unzip your data in these instances. Just follow the on screen instructions. You can change your method of backups to not zip by going to “7. More Options, System Configuration, Backup Options”.

Operational Improvements:

· Dynamic Screen Re-draw - When screen settings of 1024 x 768 or higher are used, the Farm Biz menus would display smaller in the upper left corner of the screen. The change implemented in version 5A keeps the menus and text large as though the screen resolution is set to 800x600 even though it isn’t. This change enables all users a much larger, easier to read display and touch screen users a larger target area for faster inputting.

· Monthly transaction Date (Month & day) - Changed the date spinner (arrows or Plus-minus keys) so that it is not necessary to key a new month after the spin reached the end of the prior month. Now the spin goes through all days and months of the year.

· Calendar to use - The report “6 Transactions with Selections” uses a calendar when you click on the Period Begin or the Period End dates.

· Removable Drive Letters - Expanded the drive letters to be D-R. Letter J was missing on 4B.3, but now all letters D-R are usable.

· Delete Farm after Backup - This question always appeared after a save to a floppy or removable media. Since the most common reply is NO, this question no longer is asked. For shared computers, it can be turned on by going to “7. More Options, System Configuration, Shared Computer”.

· Personalized Descriptions - Close the year with version 4B.3 did not carry forward the Personalized Item code & Enterprise names. This is now fixed in version 5A.
