When installing the GL 9.0A (2008.03.07) Service Pack (but not a full product or upgrade) and you are running anti-virus software, if you elected to install the sample data the install performance became extremely slow in some environments.

Scrolling in the grid of Accounts in the View Transaction/Budgets function was slow on large databases on a network drive in Ledger 9.0A (2008.01.22) and 9.0A (2008.03.07).

Scrolling in the grid of transactions in the View Transaction/Budgets function did not work correctly if there were a large number of transactions for the account and depending on where you were positioned in the grid.

The Source Journals could not be printed in Ledger 9.0A (2008.03.07).

Additional fields from the transaction are now included on the transaction dialog in the View Transaction/Budgets function.

When editing several existing entries in a batch (not entering new entries) an Access Violation occurred in some cases.

The look of disabled buttons on the toolbar has been improved.

In View Accounts you can now sort the View into Department/Account sequence. Use the right-mouse button to select the sort.

The Posting Complete message screen appeared under the Merging Transactions screen in some cases when posting a very large batch with data on a network drive and you topped another window during posting. This made it appear that the posting was hung, although simply topping the Adagio Ledger and pressing ENTER would clear the problem.

If you tried to post an entry to an account that does not exist, the Posting Errors report showed 'Error in Entry x in batch y. Placed in batch z. Net Change record missing.' The error is now correctly shown as 'Error in Entry x in batch y. Placed in batch z. Invalid Account.'

Detail Listing can now be printed in a 'Condensed' format. This format allows for more transactions per page. The condensed format more closely resembles the Detail Listing in previous versions. Use the 'Units' or 'Batch/entry nos.' formats to show the additional information available in Ledger 9.0A. To reduce the number of pages even further, select Report Options under the Reports menu and turn off the option 'Show parameters on all pages' (there are more options in Ledger 9.0A than in previous versions, making the header section larger).

The pennies were cut off of the right most column of the Detail Listing fro some printers in some cases.

Some corrections have been made to the Detail Listing when sorted by Department / Account.

The 'Import Source Currencies' function reported errors when you tried to save a new template in some cases. These errors should only have been displayed when the import was actually run. This prevented you from saving the new template.

The import function now remains open after completing an import. This is convenient if you have several imports to perform.

When you ran "Close Current Fiscal Year', a list of 'Procedures to complete before running Change Fiscal Year' appears. This has been changed to 'Procedures to complete before running Close Current Fiscal Year'. In addition, the item 'Close year - must perform function first' has been changed to 'Close Income/Expense Acct - must perform function first'. These changes should help clarify the steps required before closing the year.

The error 'Floating point division by zero' occurred when retrieving prior year data in a multi-currency database if a multi-currency transaction had a source amount but the home amount was zero.

Help and Financial Report Help have been updated.

Printer Setup button added to the print preview window. Allows you to select a different printer after previewing a report.

Copy batch from Next Year now defaults the period based on the date rather than always setting it to period 12.

The Edit Batches grid has some improvements and corrections to the copy and move functions when in use by multiple users.

The final balance was not printing for the last Department on the Detail Listing.

Pressing the Listing button displayed the message "Incomplete posting. Only Integrity Check and backup will be available" if at batch was posted by another user when you had the batch list open.

The subtotal amount on the Batch Listing was cut off when the amount was in the billions.

On the Trial Balance screen, if the Report style was set to 'Worksheet', the screen was screen was not displayed correctly.

The Detail Listing did not show the closing entry correctly after posting to a Prior Year income statement account.

In Edit Accounts, equity accounts that are Balance Sheet accounts rather than Retained Earnings accounts (such as paid in capital) could not have their Account Group set to C10 'Equity - Share Capital'.

If you added a prior year in the Edit Fiscal Calendar function and then edited account history for that year it caused an integrity problem in some cases.

The period description was coming from the current year instead of the selected year in the View Transactions function.

You could not import Accounts, Budgets, Forecasts, Statistics or Transactions in Adagio Ledger 9.0A (2007.12.19) and received an error saying you were blocked by another user (yourself).

If the 'Report missing departments as errors' was enabled in the Company Profile, then importing accounts for which the department code did exist resulted (correctly) in an error. However, this was also preventing import of accounts that don't have a department at all.

The Export Transactions function incorrectly gave the error message 'starting period is greater than last period' when the range did not start at period 1.

Importing new accounts when Next Year was active cause integrity errors in some cases.

Importing transactions for accounts in a prior year caused integrity errors in some cases.

Swapping back and forth between import account templates without first closing the import function caused the fields to get mixed up in the template.

The Import Account Net Changes function reported errors when you tried to save a new template in some cases. These errors should only have been displayed when the import was actually run. This prevented you from saving the new template.

If both fields Fiscal Date and Fiscal Period are imported in a batch, the Fiscal Period now takes precedence unless it is zero, in which case the Fiscal Date is used to determine the period. This is the way it worked in earlier versions of Ledger. In GL9 however, the Fiscal Date was always used and the Fiscal Period in the import file was ignored.

The Create Next Year function allowed you to cancel. If you canceled it caused integrity errors in some cases. Cancel is no longer permitted.

You were permitted to close year to an account that was not a Retainage account. This caused errors when a new year was created. This is no longer permitted in the Close Income/Expense Account and Create Next Fiscal Year functions.

The DataCare check of Ledger multi-currency data incorrectly reported the error: 'Retained Earnings account does not accept currency'. The Data Integrity Check in Ledger itself did not report this error.

When multiple instances of Adagio Ledger were run on the same machine, the window title did not show the instance number (for example: Adagio Ledger (2) - Adagio Corporation).

The cursor remained displayed as an hourglass in some cases after the program displayed a message indicating the Financial Reporter was locked by another user or instance.

You could not paste serial numbers and install codes into the install screen using the right mouse menu, although Ctrl-V worked fine.

The currency files were deleted in some cases if you elected to uninstall your old version of Ledger when installing the Ledger 9.0A upgrade to a network drive. This could happen on single currency databases and it prevented you from opening Adagio databases until the files were restored. In addition, the SSINST32.DLL file was uninstalled in some cases if you installed your Adagio 8.0 or earlier products from a different workstation than one used to uninstall your old version of Ledger. This prevented you from running Adagio 8.0 and earlier modules.

The sub-ledger batch could not be retrieved from some third-party products in some cases if it included comment lines. The products affected included Purchase Orders for Adagio and 21st Century Payroll.

The sub-ledger batch could not be retrieved from Adagio JobCost 8.1A if transactions had been posted in JobCost prior to and after upgrading to Ledger 9.0A before retrieving.

When the Next year is activated, the retrieve function displayed a screen with Yes/No choices to post sub-ledger batches for the Next year, when retrieved batches do not default as Ready to Post, thus posting should not yet be available. The Yes/No choices have been replaced by an OK button.

If you had the View Transactions/Budgets screen open when you posted a batch, the posting did not complete in the 2007.11.02 release. In the 2007.12.17 Hot Fix you received the message: 'Unable to merge posted transactions, file currently in use by another process.'

The export Account Budgets function did not insert the appropriate value for the account or department in the range fields in some cases, causing the error message 'No records to export in that range.' to be displayed.

You could not import a batch in the 'Detail-only' format that had only 1 entry when running the 9.0A (2007.11.30) Hot Fix.

A failed import created an empty batch in some cases.

The values for the Account Sign showed 'Debits' as blank in GridView when the 'Translate coded fields' option was enabled. Grids within Adagio Ledger displayed 'D' correctly.

The Active/Inactive ('A'/'I') values showed as reversed in GridView. Grids within Adagio Ledger displayed correctly.

The Description field showed as blanks on the batch entry details grid when added to the grid with the column editor.

The Comments field showed as blanks on the batch entry grid when added to the grid with the column editor.

Using the finder in the Edit Account Forecast Data function caused an access violation error.

The Smart Finder was not working on Account / Department fields in Adagio 8.1A sub-ledger programs after installing Ledger 9.0A.

The 'Description 2' field is now available in the column editor on the batch entry details grid.

Added the composite table 'GL Net w/Budgets & Master (Read Only)' to make it easier for GridView users to get Account Master, Balances and Budgets on a single view.

The Reference, Date, Account and Department fields from the first detail line of the entry can now be shown in the batch entry grid.

When editing Archive or Next Year batches, the window title of all screens now includes 'Archive' or 'Next Year' to differentiate them from current batch screens.

Editing a provisionally posted batch did not reset the status to Open.

The error message displayed if the Retained Earnings account was invalid showed the wrong department.

Some field labels and button names were incorrect in the Backup Options, Security Group Setup and Security Group Listing functions.

If you have the Company Profile option 'Report missing department errors' selected, this will now prevent creating a new account-department pair for which the department code does not exist. Previously this was only reported as a warning in the Integrity Check. This affects creating, copying or importing new accounts.

Options for A3 and A4 paper added for the Multi-currency Report Printer in File | Options. Available only on multi-currency databases. The report formats remain unchanged. Users with Crystal Reports for Adagio can modify canned reports for A3 and A4 paper and place in \Softrak\Ledger\ModRP.

The Detail Listing report prints now prints subtotals for the account net change and the account balance in the footer section for each account. The report footer section contains the Report net change and the Report balance. Labels have been included to identify the amounts. Previously the Total account balance was not printing on the report.

When printing the Detail Listing report for departmentalized accounts and the last department had no transactions, the account totals section was incorrectly suppressed.

The Account Description was not fully displayed on the Detail Listing report for long descriptions.

The GL Listing and Trial Balance reports now have 2 options to control selection of accounts: 'Include accounts with no activity' and 'Include inactive accounts'. The former refers to accounts with no postings and the later refers to the 'Account active?' setting in the account. Note that when 'Include inactive accounts' is off, accounts with a balance can be excluded and therefore the report may not be in balance.

Printing Next Year batches did not set the status to Printed.

The Batch Listings for Next Year incorrectly reported errors that the period was closed if instead the same period in the current year was closed.

The Posting Journal report did not print if it contained consolidated entries and you selected to sort by Account.

When the Posting Journal was sorted by Account the prior year report did not print "Prior Year", and the current year report did print "Prior Year".

Smooth Year End. Close Year is now Close Income / Expense Accts. Change Fiscal Year is now Close Current Fiscal Year. Create Next Fiscal Year function added. Transactions can be posted in either the current and last fiscal year, or current and next fiscal year (when the next year has been opened).

Multiple Years of History including transactions are now supported. Closing a year does not clear the transactions for the year being closed. Detail transactions are available for drill down in the financial reporter, and G/L detail listings can be printed for prior years.

Prior years can be retrieved from backups of Adagio Ledger databases from previous years (the data to be retrieved MUST NOT be converted to 9.0A prior to retrieval) or ACCPAC® PlusT G/L (except version 7.0A) including net changes (balances) and transactions. Use the 'Retrieve prior year data' function in File | Import. Your prior year data must be a snapshot of a point immediately after completing year end, and if prior year postings were made in the current year they should also have been made in the backup database. The database to retrieve should not have any integrity errors. The retrieve has a mandatory check integrity button to check posted and net change balances in the database before retrieving. If these conditions are not met, the prior year figures may not be correct and data integrity errors may be reported. Once prior year data is retrieved, it is not included in further integrity checks done in Adagio Ledger V9.0A.

Account Groups can be defined as non-contiguous ranges, and these ranges can be enforced when new accounts are added to the chart of accounts.

Archive batches can be entered just like current batches. Batches are archived and restored by copying between current and archive. Old style archive batches from previous versions are retrieved into the new archive batch system when data is converted to 9.0A, if they reside within the same folder as the data being converted.

The Account Description field has been increased from 30 to 40 characters. Accounts also have a second description field. You can print the primary, secondary or both descriptions on the Chart of Accounts report.

The Transaction Description has been increased from 30 to 40 characters. Transactions also have a second description field. The second description can be entered in batch details and will be retrieved from 8.1A or 9.0A subledgers. You can print the primary, secondary or both descriptions on the Batch Listing, Posting Journal, and Detail Listing.

A Find has been added on View Transaction/Budgets.

View GL Entry displays all transactions that made up an entry (unless consolidated).

View Account Transactions has Debit and Credit columns instead of one column with positive and negative amounts. An Amount field is also available in Column Editor and GridView if you do not want to separate debit and credits.

Edit Fiscal Calendar is a separate function instead of part of the Company Profile.

Fiscal Calendar screen has been improved. The pop-up calendar is now available in the period start and end date fields. The date in the period description field can be formatted automatically using the period start or period end date.

The Fiscal Calendar can be printed.

Post to Prior Year can have transactions written to a separate 'YE Adjustments' period so that they are kept separate from actual postings from the year. Reports and Financial Statements have options to exclude these posting to the YE Adjustment period.

Statistics fields in Account/Department can be used to track units such as hours, gallons, pieces, etc. Enter the Type of Units when the account is created or edited. Quantity of units is entered in batches for those accounts that have an associated unit. Adagio subsidiary ledgers up to and including V8.1 do not send statistical information to any accounts. Statistics units and quantities can be shown on financial statements and optionally printed on the G/L Detail Listing.

Forecasts feature added. Forecasts are similar to Budgets. Use Budgets to hold your original figures and Forecasts for revised budget figures. Both figures are available in the Financial Reporter.

Improvements to Budget entry and display. The column editor can be used to choose display fields for source and target accounts. The source can be any fiscal year. You can edit budgets for any fiscal year and use net changes, budgets or forecasts for the source. Auto advance by account has been added. You can also auto-advance by department. Next / Previous buttons added to speed moving to new account to edit. Column totals have been added to the Display Account budget amount fields.

Drill-down to subledger ready. Retrieve is ready for subledgers to send fields required to allow drill-down. Future releases of Adagio sub-ledgers may support drill-down from Ledger. Adagio 8.1A subledgers are already sending the information necessary for drill-down to Ledger 9.0A when it is installed.

Retrieve ready to support Fiscal Periods specified in the subledger transactions. Future releases of Adagio sub-ledgers will allow the fiscal period to be specified in batch entries.

Retrieve ready to support statistical, such as hours, gallons, pieces, etc. units entered in subledgers. Future releases of Adagio subledgers post units to the G/L transaction batch.

Open database not only warns if there are subledger batches to retrieve, it now also offers to retrieve them at that time. If the 'Require print before posting' is off, the retrieve will also offer to post the batches. The posting journal will be printed after posting batches during the retrieve if the 'Auto print posting journals after print' option is on.

When installing an upgrade there is a warning that a database conversion will be required. The conversion suggests you do a backup first and offers to do it there and then. Once a database has been converted, it cannot be accessed by earlier versions of Adagio Ledger or ACCPAC Plus General Ledger.

Added View Accounts in Inquiries menu (i.e. Edit without ability to save). Security Groups can be used to allow users to view but not edit accounts.

Optional fields have been added on Accounts (3 strings, 2 dates, 2 dollar and 2 unit amounts). Field titles are set in the company profile.

User and date stamp fields have been added on batch entries. Use the Column Editor to select the 'Date Edited' and 'User Edited' fields.

Grids and finders support the 'Account active?' flag in Accounts. Inactive accounts can optionally be hidden on grids and finders. To hide inactive accounts, set the 'Active records only' option in the Column Editor for the grid or finder. This option also prevents you from editing inactive accounts or entering them in a batch.

Ready to Post indicator on batches. Selecting a range of batches to Post will skip those with this indicator set "off". Company profile options control the default setting for this flag when batches are created. You cannot post an out of balance batch regardless of the setting of this flag.

Unposting batches now respects the open/close flag of the fiscal calendar when you delete the transactions from the file. You cannot delete transactions using Unpost batch from closed periods.

Earlier versions of Ledger have the ability to remember fields during batch entry but only until you close the batch. Ledger now has the ability to remember fields from an existing entry without having to first add a new entry. To do this, open an existing entry and tab through the fields in a detail. You might use this if you were in the middle of a big batch, closed GL and returned to complete it later. This saves you from rekeying the reference and a possibly lengthy description fields.

The Data Integrity Checker now has warnings as well as errors. Note that Adagio DataCare counts warnings as errors and warnings will cause a fail status on a DataCare job. You can set the 'Application errors to ignore' equal to the number of warnings to cause a pass in the job. Account balances with the wrong normal sign (set when the account is created) generate warning messages.

You can now adjust the home currency amount for a source currency balance without touching the source currency amount for cases when the subledger source amounts agree with the Ledger but the home amount does not.

Added Import/Export Transactions functions. Import functions for Net Changes, Budgets, Forecasts, and Statistics/Net Changes have been added. They are separate from Import Accounts function.

Added 'Account normal sign' field in accounts to indicate the type of balance the account should normally have. It can be set to Credit, Debit or Both. The Data Integrity Checker will give a warning if an account balance is not 'normal'.

Security Group Setup has a listing report to print allowed/disabled menu choices.

Inquires menu added. View Batch Status function added to the new menu. The Display Accounts function has been moved to the new menu and now displays only the account information. View Transactions/Budgets is a separate function in the menu. Custom GridView views appear in this menu now, rather than the reports menu.

The Posting functions have been consolidated into a single function, so you can select to post to current year, post to prior year or post provisionally, without having to close and re-open a different function.

The Print Posting Journal functions have been consolidated into a single function, so you can select regular, provisional or unpost journal, from the current or prior year, without having to close and re-open a different function.

The Close Current Fiscal Year menu choice is hidden until it is valid to use.

Fields are always verified during entry. The Field Verification option previously found under File | Options has been removed.

Improved the program icon and toolbar buttons for a cleaner look and better scaling on Vista.

If menus have been disabled because of an integrity error so that only the Data Integrity Check menu choice is available the Backup menu is now also available.

If you had ACCPAC Plus General Ledger open when you started Adagio Ledger 8.1A (2007.06.01) on the same database you received an error message saying "Your current version of Adagio Ledger is not compatible with the version of Adagio Ledger database you are currently using".

Doing an export to Excel Direct (using menu or button) exported numbers which display as negative values in the Financial Reporter as zeroes in Excel.

The toolbar buttons AutoSum, AutoFit Rows, and AutoFit Columns were not visible on the Format toolbar on a new install. You had to go into View | Customize and click Reset it to get all the buttons.

In Adagio Ledger 8.1A (2007.06.01) backup up to some removable devices, such as a USB Key, reported the error "Cannot update an existing spanned disk set" and the backup could not be completed.

The search criteria for smart finder were not remembered in Adagio Ledger 8.1A (2007.06.01) after closing the program.

Compatible with Windows® VistaT.

Compatible with Adagio Lankpaks 8.1A. Lanpaks must be 8.1A for all Adagio 8.1A modules.

Smart Finder can now search on multiple criteria.

Contents of disabled fields are shown in blue rather than dimmed gray. This may be easier to read on some monitors at higher resolutions.

Adagio download files, installs, workstation installs, all workstation install (\softrak\allwkst\allwkst.exe), and the Adagio Check System utility (chksys.exe) are now signed with a digital certificate using VeriSign to allow you to verify the Publisher is Softrak Systems Inc.

Vista does not support the old style Windows Help (.HLP files). All .HLP files were converted to compiled HTML help (.CHM files), which are supported by Vista.

For security reasons Windows does not permit .CHM help files to be run from a network drive. This is true in XP as well as Vista. The .CHM files must be run from a local drive. Adagio 8.1A installs all .CHM help files to your local hard drive and loads them from there. The workstation install also copies .CHM files to the local drive.

When switching window/task in Vista with Alt-Tab or the new Flip 3D (Windows-Tab) an image of the current Adagio screen is shown rather than just the icon of the Adagio program.

You can now backup Adagio data in zip form to WebSafe, a web-based storage facility. WebSafe is a service which allows you to store your important information in a secure location that you can access from anywhere in the world. See www.websafe.com for details.

Currency symbols other than $ are now supported in reports.

The formatting of dates and text containing numbers sent to Excel from Smart Finder results has been improved.

The formatting of dates and text containing numbers sent to Excel from the drill down in the Financial Reporter has been improved.

Adagio Sub-ledgers are Adagio Ledger 9.0A ready. Fields in 8.1A sub-ledger transaction batches required for future drill-down from Ledger to sub-ledgers are being retrieved now in Ledger 8.1A.

Attempting to add a duplicate multi-currency GL account caused integrity errors in the original account, even though the program prevented you from adding the duplicate.

Financial Statement Designer:

Two new functions =GLFPSD() and =GLFPED() are available that return the fiscal period starting period and fiscal period ending period (respectively) as a date type. The new functions expect a .ColSpec line to determine the specification code. You may apply any of the standard date formatting rules to the cell, or pass the function to =DATESTRING() to specifically format a date (although changes to =GLFPS() and =GLFPE() should minimize the need for this - see below).

=GLFPS() and =GLFPE() now take an optional second string parameter to override the default fiscal period date format set in View | Customize. The values in the string are the same as those used in the =DATESTRING() function to format dates according to your requirements. Specification codes exist to display just the year, month or day portion of the date in all formats. Examples of 2nd parameter:

"MMM" Jan
"YYYY-MM-DD" 2007-01-01
"YYYY-MMM-DD" 2007-Jan-01
"YYYY-MMMMM-DD" 2007-January-01
"MMMMM DD, YYYY" January 01, 2007

Added Column Page Break to the Financial Reporter for better control of pagination when printing statements.

An option was added under View|Customize|Settings to force Excel Direct to send values rather than formulas.

In version 8.0D (2006.10.20) a new feature allows you to send sends formulas to Excel, not just values. Fixed problems with Excel Direct when using $D, <<, >> and ==.

Users with a Departmental Restriction can no longer View or Print Statement Groups, for those groups that reference a department to which they do not have rights.

When creating a new financial statement using drag and drop, Use Colspec format is now the default choice.

Drill down to Tx Details is now available when using the ColSpec format.

Drag and Drop using the ColSpec format "freezes" to top rows of the statement. Printing will include these rows on each page.

In some cases, Row Formatting and Zero Suppress when used together did not apply the proper formatting. This has been fixed.

Covered cells prevented selecting columns for copy and format. You can now select the column though the cells in the top rows are under a 'Cover'.

File\Import Spec was creating a filename with the prefix AF! instead of GL!.

You can now duplicate columns from the right-click pop-up menu when a single row is selected.

Corrected problem in Excel Direct decimal precision in 8.0D (2006.10.13)

Unposting a batch now has a "busier" status bar to reassure users that it is working.

The batch number and batch entry number did not print on the Posting Journal when printed in detail format sorted by account.

The Trial Balance and Chart of Accounts reports did not print if the 'Remember report settings' option was on when you set the 'Enable departments' option.

Financial Statement Designer:

When creating a financial statement, you can now select to have the resulting statement use the new ".ColSpec" SmartSheet command for its formulas.

AF!FunctionExamples and AF!DateFunctionExamples have been updated to include more examples.

An AutoSum button has been added to the format menu.

You can force the user to specify a fiscal period for printing a Statement Group.

File | Import from ExcelDirect has been added to allow the creation of a SmartSheet financial statement directly from a formatted Excel spreadsheet.

Sending a statement to Excel using the ExcelDirect button now sends the Excel compatible formulas (=SUM(), etc.) where appropriate.

When a single row is selected, it can be duplicated in a single action by selecting "Duplicate row" from the right mouse button menu.

In the Header/Footer of a statement, you can now use "$U" for the User Initials and "$L" for the full user name of the person who printed the statement.

Importing a financial statement from ACCPAC Plus now creates a SmartSheet and its results more closely mirror the original DOS specification.

A user restricted to viewing certain departments is now no longer able to create departmental ranges and masks.

A covered cell now shows the focus if it is selected.

Expanding and collapsing a SmartSheet would sometimes result in rows that should have been hidden, being displayed.

Turning on "blank when zero" would sometimes prevent the pop-up (context) menu from displaying the total of selected cells.

You can now send a complete set of financial statements to an Excel workbook.

View | Customize | Settings also allows you to change the text for a consolidated statement, and what is displayed for a $0.00 value on a statement.

You can now restrict which departments (or department groups and ranges) a user is permitted to see.

The functions ACCOUNTGROUP() and ACCOUNTGROUPDEPT() have been added to allow linking between a financial statement and the Account Group tree.

Alt-up arrow and alt-down arrow are now active to re-order the department print sequence in Edit Report Item from a Statement Group.

View | Departments | Edit Departmental Range has been added to allow you to directly change both the range and description of a departmental grouping.

The functions USERINITIAL() and USERNAME() have been added to allow printing of this information on a financial statement.

The functions ADNOTE("acct-dept" [,"user id"]) and ADCOMMENT("acct-dept") have been added.

Account Data mnemonics have been added to directly retrieve the provisionally posted figures from a dataset.

You can now easily determine which accounts have not been referenced on a financial statement.

Double clicking on a cell in a financial statement now drills down to the details rather than editing the cell contents.

The QUERYSHEET() function now switches to the specified sheet and recalculates it prior to returning any value.

Blank departments are now handled correctly.

Corrections have been made to Expand/Collapse with zero suppress and/or RowFormat where it appeared that rows were lost.

Improvements have been made to Excel Direct, such as the ability for a single Excel workbook to contain multiple statements.

You could not open the Financial Report when running on some machines if Adagio Ledger was started from an icon where the password parameter (/p) was in lower case.

In some cases when Adagio Lanpak was not licensed, although still within the initial 60 day grace period, you received a message saying there were not enough Lanpak licenses available when starting the Financial Reporter.

Multi-currency reports can now be printed on 8.5x11 paper if your printer supports report scaling.

The Posting Journal can now printed in summary form when sorted by account.

Subtotals of Debits and Credits have been added to the Detail Listing.

Printing batches to file in Word format was not working.

The Comment field on comment detail lines was truncated on the Posting Journal.

When printing the Detail Listing sorted first by Department, the finder on Department field now shows only the departments rather than all the account/department pairs.

Importing of batches no longer requires all other users to be out of batch entry.

You could not import the net change figures for the 13th period.

When entering a transaction for a single-currency account defined in your database, the rate description displayed as "Rate Type Deleted".

Posting to Reallocation accounts created extra zero amount transactions in some cases.

When the Edit Accounts grid was sorted by Department you got an error saying the record was not found when selecting any record from the finder.

When the Edit Accounts grid is sorted by Department, the field name changes to Department/Account.

The error message displayed when you reach the limit of 50 Source Codes in a Source Journal has been corrected.

The setting of the 'Report missing department errors' option in the Company Profile was not retained in some cases.

On the Copy Department dialog, if you selected a Retained Earnings account with a department from the finder, the account field displayed both the account and department in the same field.

On the Copy Department dialog, if you tabbed through the Retained Earnings account field you got an error saying the account was invalid if you had Field Verification on, even though the account was in fact valid.

You could not retrieve GL batches from Property Manager DOS and possibly other third-party DOS sub-ledger applications that used an integer rather than characters for the fiscal period.

If you retrieved a sub-ledger batch while another user was consolidating it in the sub-ledger the batch could be retrieved twice in some cases.

When working in a copy of your Ledger data at year end, it was possible to accidentally retrieve sub-ledger batches from the live data for some third-party products that use the "Designed for Adagio" interface.

Fixed problems when you provisionally retrieved a batch but did not post it and other batches had also been provisionally posted.

The Status field always showed as blank the account grid, finder and smart finder. Now shows as 0 for Active and 1 for Inactive and can be searched in the smart finder.

Multi-currency fields in the Posted Transactions file are now available in Adagio GridView.

The Company Profile option 'Allow unpost/reverse batch' is now enabled by default when a new dataset is created.

'Active Users' has been added to the Help menu.

GridView has been added to the Adagio menu.

Users of Adagio GridView can add views to the Reports menu.

Multi-currency sample data has been added and is installed in \softrak\alwin\mcsamdata.

Compatible with Adagio MultiCurrency 8.0B. Adagio Ledger 8.0A and 8.0B were compatible with Adagio MultiCurrency 8.0A only and not higher versions.

There was an error in the Financial Reporter in some cases if Adagio Ledger was started from a shortcut or icon using lower case values for the /U and /P parameters.

When the Posting Journal was auto-printed (after posting) and then cleared, the entire journal was cleared, not just the sequence posted.

When a GL batch created by posting a revaluation in a multi-currency sub-ledger (for example AR) was retrieved and posted in Adagio Ledger, the source amounts for the revaluation transactions were converted from home when they should have remained zero dollars.

Single-currency batches retrieved into a multi-currency GL from ACCPAC® PlusT Payroll, Job Costing, or Adagio JobCost did not update the source amounts when posted and the source amounts were incorrect on the Detail Listing. There were no integrity errors unless the accounts were switched to multi-currency.

In a multi-currency database, the Detail Listing incorrectly reported an error if the debits and credits for the current year netted to zero for an account but there were transactions for the account. The report printed correctly in spite of the incorrect error message.

The Financial Reporter now correctly handles a "blank" department code when generating a financial report.

A $X command has been added as a parameter for the Header/Footer section and returns the data path of the statement being printed. The header/footer section now supports the following codes:
