The following list is the changes, corrections,
and additions to the Atrex package since the most recent major release.
--- Modifications for 12.05 ---
Printing labels from 12.04 was displaying an error indicating that the detail band was too large to fit on the paper size.
Cost fields were available for display during window customization even if the logged in user did not have authority to view item costs.
Rapid invoices were not automatically prompting for the first stock code.
If an error occured saving a completed PO during PO direct receiving, it was possible for the PO Receiving table to show the actual receive information but without updating the inventory counts.
Inventory transfer receiving function was not correctly handling increment scanning of items.
Cancelling an insertion of a new item into a recurring invoice or deleting a previously unsaved item was deleting the the previous item in addition to the selected item.
Added description for returned invoices items was not being pulled from the original item if the returned items were selected individually.
Modified PCCharge response message for declined cards to include the actual decline message returned from PCCharge in addition to the declined reason codes.
Inventory Transfer purge history function was throwing an access violation and not processing the history purge.
Serial numbers associated with a open order were not being unlinked from the order items if the order was forced closed.
Customer service equipment selection was not retrieving the correct record from the lookup table if the newly selected row had the same manufacturer value.
Modified server engine remote file size function to allow for open data tables by other users during mobile location initialization. Please note that this requires the server engine to be updated for this change to take effect.
Modified the mobile location check out and check in functions to use file streaming rather than row by row copies of the tables to improve the peformance of the functions.
Added code to automatically set the transparency of DB driven labels.
--- End of 12.05 ---
--- Modifications for 12.04 ---
Discounts 4 and 5 were printing discounts 2 and 3 on the inventory price and margin reports.
Modified the AR outstanding transaction retrieval function for payment processing for performance.

Extended cost on stock code information window was not being hidden when the standard cost field was not visible.
Added comma delimited and tab delmited text file export option for reports.
Customer Label Batch Insert window was not allowing direct entry into the selection list boxes.
Added code to determine the bottom margin size for the selected printer and compare it to the margin size defined in the selected report. If the printer bottom margin is larger than the report bottom margin, the larger value will be used to prevent information from being printed in the unprintable area and being dropped from the printout. Please note that this is only implemented when printing directly to the printer. Printing to the preview window will only use the bottom margin defined in the report even if the report is printed to the printer from the preview window.

Attempting to merge a mobile location with a client/server parent location was failing if the parent location definition did not also point to a valid direct directory.

This will reduce the window of opportunity where quickly pressing enter can cause the save function to be processed twice resulting in an access violation on the second pass due to the transaction object already being deleted before the function call event is processed.
Enabled the PageBreak component in the report designer to allow for forcing of page breaks.
Added functionality to the repair tables option of the batch processing to automatically replace missing .blb files deleted by anti-spyware programs. Please note that while this will replace the deleted files, the offending anti-spyware program must be deactivated or uninstalled to prevent the files from being repeatedly deleted.
Inserting a container item into a purchase order was causing the first item on the PO to be overwritten with the information from the container.
Voiding a SO with a deposit paid with a credit card was not prompting to void the credit card deposit.
Server based table optimization routine was being called but not actually optimizing the tables. Pleae note that this correction requires the updated server engine to be installed in order for this correction to be implemented.
