Program Temporary Fix

ACCPAC Plus Windowing System Manager 6.5A

This PTF corrects the following problems which can arise in the released version of Windowing System Manager. French language files are not yet available for this PTF.

Registration of Additional Products
This PTF prompts for registration information for products that have recently been added to the list of ACCPAC products.

Corrected Detection of Valid Directories
This PTF corrects a problem identifying certain directories as valid. For example, specifying: PLUS /UP:\ to run ACCPAC Plus with the user options file in the P:\ directory would sometimes fail if drive P was a mapped drive on a server.

Corrected occasional failure in Full-Screen under Windows NT
This PTF corrects problems that can appear when running in the full-screen mode under Windows NT.

* Corrected Conversion of Data Files
This PTF corrects problems that can appear when upgrading data for some applications to newer versions. For example, the fix is required to correctly update older versions of Order Entry to version 6.1B.

Allow Correction of Incorrectly Entered Dates
This PTF allows the user to correct a date that they have entered incorrectly. (The release version of Windowing System Manager 6.5 displays an error message when you enter an invalid date, but it also re-inserts the original date and moves the cursor to the next field.)

Date Import Correction
This update correctly imports year 2000 dates in older 6.0 and 6.1 ACCPAC applications when the current date is at or beyond the year 2000.

Correction of Field Display Problems
The current release of System Manager 6.5A has problems displaying hidden date fields that are used in some data input forms when multicurrency is turned off.

The result is that screens are incorrecty displayed, and that data can go into the wrong fields. For example, this happens when adding invoices in Accounts Receivable 6.5 and specifying payments at the same time.

This PTF fixes the problem.

Protection under Novell Netware 5
Due to changes in Novell Netware, it is possible for applications to delete all the data files by accident while cleaning up temporary files. This PTF protects against this deletion by detecting invalid requests from the application.
