Maintenance and updating

WEB UPDATING

 

Fixed a problem where loading a new program after a web update causes Access 97 runtime to crash.
If a program update is downloaded in the web update, an update prompt is given immediately instead of after reopening AA.
The new program file update prompt appears before data file relinking, to save startup time.
Forced group users to select a data file after updating the program version, to avoid clients automatically clicking Cancel and getting into data file troubles. Also disabled irrelevant buttons.
Revised web links and web update to work with new website.
Built in the ability for selected clients to access beta versions via the web update function, to avoid downloading/unzipping.
Adjusted the Web Update username changing function to accept changes from lower to upper case.
Included username in the <View computer ID> details on Web update form (for troubleshooting).
After the web (or disk) update completes successfully, the form closes automatically.

 

FILE MANAGEMENT

 

Added a new function to archive snapshot files to a \SnapshotArchive subfolder, divided into year categories. This is so that the archive folder is not often updated, and will not require regular backing up. Maintenance > Drive cleanup.
Changed the default satellite file name to AAUser_DoctorsName.mdb. Previously the doctor's initials were used but this could confuse if two drs had similar names.
Prevented the multiuser version being able to restore data from a single user file (need to use the Select Provider > Import function instead). Modified the Restore function to allow restoring unzipped .aau and site files. Existing files are backed up before being replaced.
Prevented the user from creating a provider's file with a name greater than 45 characters, which may cause problems.
If the AASite or AAUser files are open when backing up, an appropriate prompt is given, instead of an error message. Also adjusted the messages that are given when a backup fails.
Revised the unexpected error message box, and added a manual screen capture button.
The maintenance log filter allows filtering by account prefix.
The filtered maintenance log can be saved to an Excel file.
Added a function on the Maintenance Menu to email last 3 months error messages to Healthbase.
Function to add the program path to the Access 2007 Trust Centre via the Windows registry (Eclipse > Adv Dev access).
