If a change is made to the Benching or Message field of the Entry View
and the program is then closed by clicking the System Close button (X in top right corner of window), the
change is not saved! |
Be sure to click the OK button after all changes are complete before exiting
the program. It is a good idea to click OK whenever you have completed changes for an exhibitor. |

9/15/08 |
ENH |
Based on requests from a number of entry
clerks, the rules for contact/exhibitor names are being expanded to allow "corporate" names as well as
personal names. "Corporate" names are not subject to the first name/last name rules and are always shown
exactly as entered. This allows animal welfare organizations to use their name, "Adams Country Feline Welfare"
without any complications. The "Corporate" name can also be used as the "Exhibitor Name" and will appear properly
alphabetized in the exhibitor lists and in all reports. |
No general workaround is available. |

Older inkjet printer with a minimum bottom margin of greater than
0.3" do not print the page numbers on catalogs! To accommodate more of these older printers, the default
margins for the printed catalogs is being changed 0.5" top, bottom, left and right. |
DO NOT USE PRINTERS WITH AN MINIMUM BOTTOM
MARGIN GREATER THAN 0.5" TO PRINT THE CATALOGS!
CATALOGS WITHOUT PAGE NUMBERS ARE A SHOW RULES VIOLATION! |

4/19/08 |
LOW |
The "Entries Closed" date on the General
Setup page is set to the same H:M:S that the page was saved. Thus entries
are considered "closed" at some specific time during the selected day. |
Set the "closing" date one day later. To record
the exact closing date/time, use the File->Close entries menu item in V
1.6.51 or later. |

If the amount of a fee is changed AFTER it
is added to an account, the amount of the transaction is not changed.
This results in a inconsistency in the financial reports. |
Delete and re-add all transactions to accounts

find the affected exhibitors. |

The Benching Report (Exhibitors View) does
not paginate correctly when there are long multi-line benching requests. |
If possible, do your benching from the Benching
Worksheet (File->Export->Benching). It is a more convenient source for
benching information. |

Having both show staff and messages on the

messages. Messages are moving to a separate page in the Show Properties. |
None |

Checking the Medical box on the Entry View
should cause EOR to be shown on the cage report instead of MED. The benching
spreadsheet created using the File->Export->Benching command is correct. |
Work from the benching spreadsheet rather than
the benching report if possible. Otherwise read the benching requests on the
cage report carefully to avoid benching an exhibitor at the wrong end of a
row. |
| 180 |
01/25/08 |

Message to All Exhibitors message text is
not correctly converted into HTML, causing readability issues for HTML eMail
confirmations if the message contains line breaks. |

When completing a new entry form, breeder
name was automatically copied into the owner field. This required the EC to
select the copied text if the owner was actually different from the breeder. |
None. Just be careful to select the text in the
owner field to completely over write it. Otherwise as you type it will be
added in from of the text already in the owner field. |

1/15/08 |
ENH |
Occasionally an entry is added to the wrong
exhibitor. Once this happens, the only way to correct it is to withdraw the
entry from the original exhibitor and add a new entry to the correct
exhibitor. A user friendly method of making this correction is
desirable. |
Withdraw the entry. Select the proper
exhibitor. Add a new entry. Type the cat's name is entered EXACTLY as
originally entered. Tab to next field. Respond OK when asked if it is
alright to enter this cat under a different exhibitor. Click OK to complete
new entry. |

Accidentally clicking File->New (or clicking
the toolbar button) causes all entries/exhibitors in your show to be
removed. If you then Save the show, all your work is lost. |
Be careful not to click File->New when you have
an in-progress show open. |

If the agent for an exhibitor is changed or
deleted, the exhibitor's entries are printed in the show catalog with the
original agent. |

MID |
When a confirmation is printed/emailed, the
exhibitor record is not properly updated with the newest confirmation date. |
Making any other change to the exhibitor record
immediately after sending the confirmation will cause the record to be
updated properly. For example, checking and un-checking the Medical
check-box is sufficient. |
| 173 |
01/06/08 |
ENH |
Provide a "Balance Due" report that has the
phone nmber and email/postal addresses of exhibitors with outstanding
balances after the show. This report can then be sent to the club treasurer

When entering a payment, non-numeric entries in
the Ref field are not properly saved and will not be correctly shown on

For PayPal and Money Order payments, just don't
put the Transaction ID/Money Order # into this field. You can record it in
the Memo field if you want to preserve this information. |

When processing AOV entries, the validity check
for the registration # and the class # fail, causing the entry to be marked

show catalog. |

10/20/07 |
ENH |
It is easy to hit the Caps Lock key when
reaching for the Tab key on many keyboards. This can result in entering
fields like Sire/Dam/Owner ... in full caps which makes the catalog look
inconsistent. If you are using copy/paste to copy information from an
exhibitors on-line entry email directly to an entry form in AECfa, the Cap
Locks key is also set by Windows! |

Caps Lock was not set while you were entering data. |

History file can become corrupted when exiting
program causing entries from different exhibitors to be merged together and
an exhibitor lost! The exact cause of this problem has not yet been
identified. It appears to happen when a cat has been entered under the wrong

correct your show data file so that it is safe to continue. |

When printing the Exhibitors->Benching report,

A formal method of "closing" a show has been

The use of a single multi-line field for
entering address information is convenient for typing addresses, but has the
potential to introduce many errors. It is difficult to parse, particularly
for non-US addresses. |
The Contact Form is being redone with separate

of non-US addresses more consistent. This solution solves all known address
problems. |

Canadian addresses are not always parsed
correctly. This can result in incorrect information in the Show Data File

Data File but that is not a fatal error. |
