The program will look at the check date entered and will compare to the current date to determine if a warning should appear. The warning explains when the payroll should be transmitted by. 04/01/2004 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master State Allowances field. The field will now allow 0 through 9999.99 to be entered.

Screens should now appear normal rather than maximized. 01/17/2004 Modified SSN Validation program to allow for recently issued "area" numbers. Also included logic to better explain why IRS ITINs are rejected when entered as employee TINs (IRS ITINs appears in a TIN format ###-##-####, begin with a 9, and are not valid for payroll purposes.) 01/16/2004 Modified the "Payroll Dates and Options" screen so that the "Enter Billable Hours For This Payroll?" option is not visible. This is a future enhancement that is still under development that was mistakenly visible to customers enabled for Quickbooks GL download. 01/15/2004 Modified the Direct Deposit logic so that for Intuit Payroll clients there is no longer a prenote issued for an entered employee direct deposit. 01/15/2004 Added logic so if the entered check date is greater than 90 days from today, a warning message appears to warn that the check date may be incorrect. ****************************************************** 12/12/2003 Version 3.0 Build 102 Released Update available from V2 Build 40x and V3 Build 10x. ****************************************************** 12/05/2003 Increased internet xmit timeout from 40 seconds in Build 101 to 60 seconds for Build 102. 12/05/2003 Fixed Employee Earnings Record - Detailed Version so that if "Skip Employees with No P/R" is selected it actually skips those Employees with no payroll in the specified year. 12/05/2003 Adjusted job lists so that the active/inactive flag is considered when lists are displayed. Inactive jobs are not displayed. 12/05/2003 Adjusted paycard logic to incorporate support for the new paycards to be released soon. 12/04/2003 Fixed a problem with HR Assistant where certain dept, job, w/c or paytype descriptions could cause an exception. 12/03/2003 Implemented an enhancement to the company list if there are multiple companies in the database. If the first 3 titles are clicked, in order to adjust the sort, that sort is remembered even on subsequent program launches. 12/03/2003 Implemented 2004 W2 and 1099MISC for employees termed early in the year. Updated 2003 W2 and 1099MISC forms to the official form release. 12/03/2003 Fixed a problem if the Employee was an ESS User with direct deposit and had selected to not receive a pay stub. When PC Entry was instructed to print a voucher copy of a midpay check it was previously coming out blank. The check copy was unaffected. 12/01/2003 Updated Wages Summary Report - Benefits Version so the report worked correctly when "Include All Employees" flags were used. 11/21/2003 Implemented a Global Mail Merge function available from the Employee List screen so more than one empl can be done at once. 11/03/2003 Implemented an additional feature in Reverse Check where if the user brings up a list of Employees, the employee can be right clicked and a list of checks that can be reversed will be displayed. 08/26/2003 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry where the user would create a check, edit it, update it and then hit the Page Up or Page Down key. First, the program wouldn't navigate the correct direction and if the next action was to again edit the check, the available on screen edit options were not correct. 07/25/2003 Fixed a problem with Employee Master Accruals where if an accrual rule is defined that requires a Rehire or Hire Date and that rule is selected for an employee who doesn't have one, after a message, the program unexpectedly ends with an error message on PR270A. 07/25/2003 Adjusted Generic Payroll Calculator so that there are two options for a Daily calculation. One based on 260 work days per year and one based on 365 days per year. 07/25/2003 Adjusted Generic Payroll Calculator to properly handle Arizona state withholding calculation. ****************************************************** 07/14/2003 Version 3.0 Build 101 Released Update available from V2 Build 40x and V3 Build 10x. ****************************************************** 07/09/2003 Fixed the Payroll Pre Process report so that if run by a Fastpay Pro user, a URL at the bottom of the report is properly suppressed. 07/08/2003 Modified the State W/H allowances field to accept a decimal point with 2 digits. This takes care of a recent change in state tax by Arizona. 07/08/2003 Adjusted the PC Entry program so that it will function as a Demo if no permission diskette has been loaded. Previously, the usage of the program without a permission diskette loaded would have yielded errors. 07/03/2003 Fixed an intermittent issue with Advanced Security where it was possible to key in a new employee and even if the "Make New Employees Accessible To All Users" flag were set, the new EE was not immediately accessible. 07/03/2003 Modified the Workers Comp Report screen so that the XLS/XML option only shows available when the report is run by W/C code. Support for the other format will be implemented in a future software build. 07/03/2003 Fixed a problem with the Access Database export where if the file dialog were still visible, initiating the export could yield errors. 07/03/2003 Fixed a problem with Excel Payroll Spreadsheet file creation if Excel is configured to create a workbook with only 1 sheet by default. 06/30/2003 Removed the dependency of PC Entry on VB2CBL32.DLL and MFRTS32.DLL. This will prevent PC Entry from "stepping" on another program which requires MFRTS32. ****************************************************** 06/13/2003 V3.0 Build 100 Is Distributed to 200 Clients On A Limited Release Basis. Programmatic Update Not Available To This Version. ****************************************************** 06/05/2003 Fixed a problem with the Employee Benefit Matching Report for Fastpay Pro remote entry companies where if the report was flagged for an export, no output would occur. 06/05/2003 Fixed a problem with Workers Comp report export to XLS and XML where it was possible to receive an incorrect message indicating there was no data to report. 06/04/2003 Added the Employee List to the Reverse Check dialog so EE selection can be done if the Employee Number isn't handy. 06/02/2003 Added a Hours/Minutes entry field for Payroll Entry. When on a Hours (Reg or OT) the user can click ALT-A or right click the field for the option. Entered time is converted. 06/02/2003 Added a 'Batch Restore Company Data' option for those users who have multiple company files. Previously company files would have to be restored one company at a time. 06/02/2003 Added a 'Tech Support' Report which the user can run on demand which will provide your specialist some useful info about your PC Entry installation. 06/02/2003 Fixed an issue where restoring a company backup that is contained within a .ZIP file could leave empty $#####$ directories under the application folder. 05/31/2003 Added an option to Pay Data Import so that the user can choose what happens if data is imported when a pending check already exists for an employee. By default a seperate check is issued. Now that import data can be rolled into the existing check so only one check is issued. 05/30/2003 Added an option to the Payroll Preprocessing Report so there is an option to output: All Checks and Vouchers Checks Only Vouchers Only 05/30/2003 Added a Multiple Check report in Control Totals and at the Payroll Dates and Processing Options screen so that employees with multiple checks can be more easily determined. 05/30/2003 Because of the addition of HR Assistant, Intuit Marketing has convinced leadership to change PC Entry Version number from 2.0 to 3.0. Affected screens have been updated and the next release will now be Version 3.0 Build 100. Note: Most of the UI will remain the same so please do not be alarmed if there doesn't seem to be many obvious changes. 05/29/2003 Fixed the validation of company numbers in the Restore Company to prevent invalid entries. 05/29/2003 Fixed several reports that would intermittently yield blank pages in the middle. 05/29/2003 Added some additional hotkeys for Payroll Entry. ALT-D will jump to Edit Taxes. F7 will jump to the EE Master of loaded EE. ALT-E will jump to the Empl Num box. 05/29/2003 Fixed a problem with Edit Taxes in Payroll Entry where tabbing from field to field didn't properly highlight the input boxes. 05/28/2003 Added a report to show ESS Usernames and Passwords for companies that are ESS enabled. 05/28/2003 Added an option on the System Configuration screen where the user can optionally override the secure PDF report generation feature. PDF reports will remain secure (not editable) by default. 05/11/2003 Updated SSN Validation to allow area 529 which as of 05/01/2003 is valid according to the SSA. 05/07/2003 Fixed a problem with Excel Payroll where if the flag to issue check if one already exists is selected, the 'skip' toggle on the spreadsheet was not processed and would issue a check even if flagged to skip. 04/30/2003 Fixed a problem on Employee Pay Summary where it was possible for the Net display field to incorrectly come out zero. 04/13/2003 Fixed a problem on the Employee List where if the user clicked an option to repopulate the list any employees that were on leave would be displayed as Active. ****************************************************** 03/11/2003 Version 2.0 Build 411 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 03/08/2003 Added Chase Manhattan Bank export to the Issued Check Report. 02/22/2003 Fixed a problem where if the 'Keep Report Screen Loaded After Running A Report' option was set in the Program Configuration screen and a report was run for multiple companies more than one time some non fatal errors would occur. 02/22/2003 Updated the code for when 'Access Your Company Data' is clicked from the Main Menu and there are currently no companies loaded. If the user has Supervisor privledge, the program will ask if the user wishes to enable the Sample Company. 02/21/2003 Modified logic for calculated paytypes on the Excel Spreadsheet Payroll Import. A blank value in a calculated field will result in a normal calculation if the calculated field value is derived fully from another field (such as TIPS OUT). Any other value is considered an override and that value is used and no calculation is performed. For the other type of calculated field where the value is modified by other fields (such as sALARY being reduced by VACATION) then any value other than the employee master default (blanks included) are considered an override and a calculation will not be performed. 02/19/2003 Added an option to the Birthday Report so that it can also be run for just a specified month. 02/16/2003 Implemented a good explanation of the Direct Deposit Flag in the Payroll Dates and Processing Options screen because there was confusion about how this feature actually works. 02/16/2003 Enhanced the Employee Master screen with larger size, First/Last Date paid fields, New Hire Reporting fields, Better support for Custom Screen fields. 02/15/2003 Fixed a problem with clients that have employees using ESS that opt to not receive a paystub. Once that choice occurs and subsequently a CBU backup is sent to the client, the program will not reprint a historical check. 02/02/2003 Updated branding to support Fastpay remote users. 02/01/2003 Minor update to the configure users screen. Also made an attempt to get that screen to load faster. 01/31/2003 Updated the Payroll Entry's "Unpaid Empls" screen to match the "Pay Inactive" screen for the sake of consistency and since the "Pay Inactive" screen has a better search. 01/30/2003 Implemented a security enhancement with regards to PDF reports. PDF reports will now not allow themselves to be edited/changed in Adobe Acrobat. The tab normally visible on the side of the report will now also be visible on a PDF report. 01/30/2003 Implemented a warning message for users that run the PC Entry software at a resolution of 800x600 with Large Fonts. This combination on the screen resolution yields the same screen space as running at 640x480 with Small Fonts which this program can't support. 01/30/2003 Fixed a problem where hitting ALT-F4 on the Employee Master List and in Payroll Entry would run the normal F4 function for that screen rather than exit. 01/30/2003 Fixed a problem where if the user specified certain printers in the System Configuration menu and wished to output both to printer and screen, the screen output could format incorrectly. Now the specified printer driver will only be used if printing directly to the printer rather than to both screen and printer. 01/15/2003 Enhanced the speed of the validation of Local Tax codes that are entered into the Employee Master Wage Setup tab. Also fixed an issue where the Local Tax codes could come up with the wrong descriptions. 01/13/2003 Added an XLS/XML export option to the Pension Eligibility Report. 01/10/2003 Fixed a problem with 'Reprint Last Pay Period Checks' where it would fail to detect the generated files on some operating systems. 12/20/2002 Enhanced the Journal Entry Report with a 'Journal Entry MAS90 Export File' option. This is seperate from the report and the generic export file. ****************************************************** 01/08/2003 Version 2.0 Build 410 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 01/07/2003 Added field 81 to the Employee Field Level import to allow import of Payline Standard Hours. 01/04/2003 Fixed an issue with Custom Screens where if a field were defined with a default and subsequently an employee were loaded and saved without making any other field changes, the values would not be actually saved in the employee record. 01/02/2003 Fixed a problem where the software would report "No Event File Found" when a company's pay history only consisted of 1 pay entry where the run date was 12/31 and the check date was in the subsequent year. 12/20/2002 Fixed a problem with the Delete Company function (only accessible with support's assistance) where all the event file records were not being deleted. 12/19/2002 Reimplemented the Delete Payline function in Payroll Entry. This was removed a long while back because of a problem related to goal calculation. Now that the payline goals are calculated differently (by payline item number and not by the line number they occupy in the employee master wage setup) this feature will work properly. This is invoked by right clicking in the payroll entry black input box. 12/19/2002 Fixed a visual anomaly with some lists and using the mouse scroll wheel. The user could see a black line when scrolling all the way down to the bottom which was distracting. 12/17/2002 Added a 'Save and Exit' button to the Custom Screen design screen so that changes can be aborted if so desired. Exiting without saving will bring up a dialog with a last chance to save. 12/17/2002 Added ? buttons to many screens that did not have them and also configured those buttons and the F1 key to go directly to context-sensitive help. 12/16/2002 Added a warning when saving a user, when Advanced Security is in place, if the 'Allow Access To View/Edit ALL Pay History' checkbox is selected since it could allow access to restricted employees and pay details. 12/16/2002 Enhanced the Excel Spreadsheet Payroll Import with a report which gives the import detail along with the import totals. 12/13/2002 Fixed a problem on the View Prior Payroll Screen where on some machines going from one tab to another would flash the NumLock or Capslock lights. 12/13/2002 Fixed a problem with the Employee File Change Report where the program made it appear that the Print Only $ Changes was a valid option when Date/Time Format was selected as the print option as opposed to the Amount/Percent Of Change print option. 12/13/2002 Added an XLS/XML export option to the Employee Benefit Match Summary Report. 12/13/2002 Enhanced the reports which can potentially create files in the EXPORT directory [Journal Entry and Employee Matching Benefits Summary] so that when files are created the user is notified with an option to go to that directory. The notification can also be turned off at the System Configuration menu. 12/12/2002 Fixed a problem with the installation CD's autorun menu program. If Acrobat Reader was not yet installed then clicking the PDF would do nothing. This was also the case for the CHM helpfile if there was no help support currently loaded on the OS. 12/12/2002 Fixed a problem with running reports and directing the output to Excel. If Excel wasn't installed on the local machine no .XLS was created but there was no message to indicate that. The generating dialog that was on the screen wouldn't immediately go away either. 12/12/2002 Updated the View Prior Pay Periods section of the program in order to give the software UI some visual consistency. Also unified the Tax Deposits tabs into a single tab. 12/12/2002 Updated the Edit Check screen and added a confirmation if exiting that screen if changes were made and not yet saved. 12/11/2002 Enhanced the accessing of a company to allow access even if a company has no employees. This will allow those users who wish to enter or import their own employee data to do so. 12/11/2002 Adjusted the 'Print Last Pay Period Checks' and 'Print Last Pay Period Reports' functions so that they will not attempt to run if there are no records in the pay history database. 12/11/2002 Fixed an issue where if all employees were currently terminated, the loading of the employee list would cause an error. 12/11/2002 Fixed an issue in Payroll Entry where if all employees were currently terminated the user would receive multiple error messages. The logic has been updated so at that point the only thing that can be done is to either create a new employee or click the Pay Inactive employee button. 12/11/2002 Added a configuration screen in the Journal Entry Rpt to allow users to be able to define the Journal Entry Export File spec. 12/11/2002 Fixed a problem with editing a Prior Paycheck where if data were entered into the field entry box, enter had not yet been pressed, and the user immediately saved, that one field would not get updated. 12/10/2002 Added a Global Data Changes feature. The user can now change the default pay rate based on certain criteria The user may also change employee master and unprocessed checks payline items from one number to another. 12/10/2002 Fixed an issue when loading the Audit Trail (ALT-B) from the main Employee Master tab where if there were no current changes the software on occasion would show one entry like this one 32,32 changed on 00/00/0000. 12/09/2002 Updated a fix made for Build 407 that handled graphics files when using the Backup/Restore function. The previous fix would only process 3 graphics files correctly and now it will handle a number all the way up to the core software limit. 12/07/2002 Enhanced the Excel Spreadsheet Payroll with an option to default all "Skip This Empl" items to 'Yes' which means they won't be imported by default. 12/07/2002 Enhanced the Excel Spreadsheet Payroll so that both a Location and/or Department Range can also be specified for spreadsheet creation criteria. 12/07/2002 Fixed the XLS export option for the Deduction Shortfall Report which was not working correctly. 12/07/2002 Added an option when printing the following reports to XLS or XML where it can be specified whether or not to include a company totals line. Wages Summary Report Condensed Wages Summary Report Benefits Workers Comp Report Accrual Report 12/07/2002 Enhanced Reports so that the various PC Entry reports, which are currently exportable to XLS, now also export to XML. This XML can also be opened by Excel in Microsoft Office XP as an XML Spreadsheet. 12/05/2002 Added buttons on the Employee Master Custom Screen tab so that all field values can be cleared/reinitialized at one time. 12/04/2002 Adjusted the Employee Field Level Import so that all fields which should be uppercase are so converted to be consistent with the backend software. 12/04/2002 Enhanced the software so that if installed under a directory with a long filename such as "Program Files" it will operate correctly so long as the installation directory (after resolved to a 8.3 directory) is 21 characters or shorter. The installer will enforce that size limit as well. 12/04/2002 Enhanced the Installer so that if the user does not have a Drive C: it will alter the recommended default of C:\CBSPAY32 to the appropriate drive letter. 12/01/2002 Created a custom uninstaller for PC Entry so that it will now show up in the Add/Remove Programs List and will delete the appropriate files if launched and properly confirmed. 11/21/2002 Enhanced the Access Database Export with 2 new tables for the employees which represents the Employee Custom Screen Data. These tables will get created on newly created databases and updated if those tables exist on current databases. 11/21/2002 Enhanced Custom Screens with a Employee Report which displays all active employee's custom screen field data. There is also an option to export the data to XLS. Also created a report where the user can pick 1 or 2 fields and get a summary list with an XLS option. 11/20/2002 Fixed a very intermittent issue where a report, that's exported out to XLS, would generate a nuisance 'Error 1004' when it comprised of multiple sheets. This did not cause the exported data to be incorrect. 11/20/2002 Enhanced the Payroll Entry with an option, which is set in the 'Payroll Entry Configuration Settings' screen, that will let the user be notified if they are issuing a check or voucher where the earned hours Accrual (per hour worked/per pay period) is currently set to off. 11/19/2002 Reduced the CPU usage of PC Entry while the External Communications package is running. 11/18/2002 Enhanced the Custom Screen design so that the process is more intuitive. The fields are also much easier to reposition then previously. 11/18/2002 Enhanced Transmission/Receipt of payroll data so that a report is displayed (with print option)which details what occurred. The info is also logged to XMIT.LOG in the BACKUP directory. 11/18/2002 Enhanced Payroll Entry Calc Taxes so that if there are no tax tables for the year of the entered check date, the user gets a message informing them that the tax calculation may be incorrect. 11/17/2002 Enhanced the Payroll Entry so that the entry of Job and Workers Comp numbers is easier. This is because users that utilize significant job costing tend to enter all the hours and then enter all the jobs all at once. 11/17/2002 Removed the beep that occurred in Payroll Entry when the Delete key is used to clear data from a field. 11/16/2002 Updated the Main Menu toolbar icons so that once the user goes into a company, those that were previously hidden are now shown as disabled which looks a lot better. 11/16/2002 Updated the program buttons to Windows standard. Also updated the software update program buttons. 11/16/2002 Fixed a problem with the Pay A Group Of Employees function where if the company was set to multiple locations. The generation process displayed a popup list of locations with a Exit/Cancel button which did not function correctly. 11/16/2002 Fixed an issue with the Employee Master screen where the screen would rudely steal focus if the mouse went over it. Also if a user were typing data into that screen and moved the mouse at the same time it would yield an undesired effect. 11/16/2002 Enabled column title Sort Buttons on the Employee List which is visible when the user accesses the Employee Master from the Company Access Screen. 11/16/2002 Fixed a problem where setting an employee to Military Leave in the Employee Master was not immediately updating the employee list to say the employee was now "On Leave". This was only a display problem since the employee was still handled correctly. 11/14/2002 Fixed a problem with the Custom Screen Integer and Real Number types where the allowed ranges were not handled correctly. Integer Types 9, 99, 999 are unsigned. 999, 999999 & 9999999999 are signed. Real Types 9.9, 9.99, 99.99 are unsigned. 99999999.99 and 99999999.9999 are now treated as signed. 11/14/2002 Fixed a problem with the Custom Screen "Real Number 99999999.9999" type. The value was not saving or validating correctly. 11/13/2002 Fixed a problem with Pay Data Import where the "Taxing Entities" flag wasn't being properly processed. 11/13/2002 Added logic to create the PASS directory if it has been deleted. ****************************************************** 11/01/2002 Version 2.0 Build 409 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 10/26/2002 Added a check to make sure that the 2 core DLL files WN190.DLL and WNFILEIO.DLL are of a version compatible with the current build of PC Entry. 10/25/2002 Updated the Payroll Entry, Employee Master and System Config screens so that a Save acts as a Save & Exit. It was pointless to make a user click Save and then have to also click exit which is generally the next logical step. 10/25/2002 Updated the look and feel of the Payroll Entry and Employee Master Config screens to be consistent with the System Configuration screen. 10/25/2002 Changed the default in the Employee Master Special Configuration section for the display of the Employee Master List so that the hiding of the Search/Sort Options are No by default. 10/25/2002 Made more screen corrections related to users that are set to "Large Fonts" (120 dpi) on their system. 10/24/2002 Added logic to the Pay Summary Reports to do a quick check if the client selects to run a Memo Report (makes sure there are valid Memo Items) and if the user selects to run on Paytype 0 (All Paytypes) then a check is performed to see if any paytypes are configured to show up by default. If they aren't configured that way, they have to be selected specifically to display by picking a specific paytype. 10/20/2002 Added logic in Payroll Entry so that a confirmation message will appear if the check could total zero pay. 10/19/2002 Enhanced the Updater so that what is launched when the program exits is configurable. If the PC Entry data is on the network then the user can specify PC2000.BAT instead of it running CBSPAY.EXE which could be problematic. 10/18/2002 Updated the ability of the software to receive command line parameters so that multiple parameters are now properly recognized. Valid parameters are: NOSSL [PC Entry who can't use port 443 just port 80] NOSTAR [Security Login Starfield disabled for Citrix] XMITLOG [Internet xmit will create XMITLOG.TXT] PASSDEBUG [Payroll Entry will create PASSINFO.TXT] SYSTEM [Specialist Assisted Backdoor Access] XLDEBUG [Logging for Create Excel Payroll Spreadsheet] 10/17/2002 Updated our Web URL in several places in the PC Entry software from the old www.cbspayroll.com to the new complete.payroll.com. Also changed a location in the software that had www.payroll.com/complete to the complete.payroll.com URL. 10/17/2002 Fixed a problem which could prevent the following reports from generating data to display Employee Blank SSN Report Employee Email Address Report Employee Next Review Date Report Employee Birthday Report Employee Timeclock Report Print Button in EE Master/View Prior Paychecks Print Button in EE Master Audit Trail View Print Screen Button in Payroll Entry Control Totals ****************************************************** 10/10/2002 Version 2.0 Build 408 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 10/05/2002 Enhanced internal PCL processor so that PC Entry only reports are converted into PDF much faster. The PC Entry Error Log from the Main Menu is one such report. 09/25/2002 Made a recent 'Small Font' correction fix that was implemented in a recent build optional since it used the SendMessage API which could take extra time if many programs were running concurrently. This is now set in the System Configuration Menu. 09/13/2002 Enhanced the Control Totals screen [is windows modal screen] so that if it's minimized it will minimize the other visible windows as well. 09/12/2002 Enhanced the Employee Master screen [is windows modal screen] so that if it's minimized it will minimize the other visible windows as well. 09/12/2002 Added an option in the System Configuration that lets the user specify whether or not the Report Screen should close or stay open after running a report. 09/11/2002 Enhanced Access Export so that during the process it can be aborted and the program can also be minimized during the export. ****************************************************** 09/10/2002 Version 2.0 Build 407 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 09/09/2002 Added a Find icon in the View Prior Payrolls on the Check tab. The button can be clicked or invoked by Alt F. 09/09/2002 Added a 'Save Changes' prompt on the Payroll Dates screen for both the 'Payline Item On/Off' and the 'Direct Deposit' sections so that if changes were made and another function is selected the changes would not be lost. 09/09/2002 Fixed a problem where if a user went into Payroll Entry, went back to the Payroll Dates screen and modified the On/Off setting of payline items and then went back into Payroll Entry, the On/Off grid on that screen wouldn't reflect the changes. 09/09/2002 Changed the Payline Item On/Off sections so that the designations in the grid are On and Off instead of Yes and No. 09/08/2002 Fixed a problem where graphics files were not handled properly when restoring a company backup unless all files were inside a zip. 09/06/2002 Added a 'Stop Load' button with the Find Employee option under the Empl Search on the Main Menu. This is because the Find Employee function loads employees from all companies and could be time consuming. 09/06/2002 Fixed a problem on the Reports screen where the list of laser printers wouldn't default to the last one used like other parts of the software do. 09/05/2002 Fixed a problem where if Security were being used, the PCPLUS+ Custom Screen 2 wouldn't be enabled from the employee master. Reenable PCPLUS+ if the problem persists so the security level for those fields are reset. 09/05/2002 Fixed a problem with the Excel Spreadsheet creation where if a payline item had been set to calculated, assigned to an employee, and then unset from calculated, the spreadsheet would still display the field as calculated. 09/05/2002 Fixed a problem where PC2000 running under Citrix on one machine was stepping on it's own temporary files. Now Citrix is supported with PC2000 as long as each person logs in with a unique username. 09/04/2002 Made a significant speed improvement when granting security especially when processing multiple companies at one time. 08/29/2002 Added the printing of the Term EE W2s when the Cover Sheet is generated since directly printing current year W2s in PC2000 is not allowed. 08/26/2002 Added Reports To field to the Access Database Export. 08/26/2002 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master where an amount entered in the Direct Deposit Amount field had the cents dropped from the entry after saving. 08/26/2002 Fixed a problem with printing Audit File changes from the Employee Master where pages after the first page would have some entries split between pages. 08/22/2002 Fixed a problem where Audit File records were not sent to the service bureau from the PC2000 client. 08/09/2002 Fixed a problem updating an Access Database where the program may give the user errors updating job data. 08/08/2002 Fixed a problem in Control Totals where clicking the PC2000 Print Screen button on Employees Not Paid would omit the first employee in the list. 08/05/2002 Added sorting to "Totals by Pay Type" in Payroll Entry Control totals. 08/02/2002 Fixed a problem with exporting the Payline Wages summary report to Excel. The totals line was omitted. 07/31/2002 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry where EIC was not functioning properly with Calc Taxes. 07/30/2002 Fixed a problem with the Access Database export where an error occurs if there is an accrual configured with no name in bureau setup. ****************************************************** 07/29/2002 Version 2.0 Build 406 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 07/25/2002 Fixed a problem with the File Change Report when the "All Changes Since Last Processing" was selected. The resulting data would mistakenly represent all changes ever made rather than since the last check date. 07/23/2002 Fixed a problem in the Employee Master Wage Setup where if an employee had an invalid payline item it was not displayed and subsequent items would be displayed but not on the correct line in the payroll grid. This would make it appear that values would shift up after changes were made. If a corrupt line is encountered it's now fixed and the user is notified. A payline is considered invalid if it's zero and there valid subsequent payline items. 07/22/2002 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry where the New Empl button would allow employee 99999 to be created which is not in the allowed range of 1-99998. 07/16/2002 Fixed a minor issue with assigning Accrual Rules in the Employee Master where using the dropdown box would move the entry box down to the last position in the grid. 07/15/2002 Fixed a problem with changing the company comm flag where if an invalid flag was selected the hourglass did not go away though the program would function. 07/11/2002 Fixed a problem with Pay Data Import where lines with no rate and no regular hours but with overtime hours would import with a garbage amount for the pay rate. 07/10/2002 Fixed a problem with the Pay All Salary Employees option where it was presenting a "Select Location" dialog for Multi Location companies on E option. The program now does not present the dialog and the checks that are issued match the logic of the Bureau code. 07/10/2002 Added logic for "On Leave" employees. This means the employee that's currently "On Leave" will not get automatically paid with the "Pay All Salary" function nor will they appear in the list when entering checks. The "Pay Term" button in Payroll Entry has been changed to "Pay Inactive". 07/09/2002 Made an adjustment to the way the PC2000 software determines if a file exists or not. This particularly affects network installs on Build 405. The effect was that some network installations had trouble with the internet transmit if the data was on the network and they had a particular (still unknown) rights configuration. 07/09/2002 Added new report options for Journal Entry Report. Print Employee Names On Report Print Subtotals Only Include Processing Fees On Report 07/01/2002 Fixed a problem with the Accrual Report export to Excel where some columns had fields spill data into adjacent fields depending upon the field size. 06/28/2002 Added logic so that if a Tax Key goal is met during Calc Taxes in Payroll Entry, a message appears which informs the user which grid line and payline item number were set to zero. Normal goals are zeroed dynamically as data is entered and is not affected. 06/28/2002 Added indicators in Payroll Entry so as employees are iterated through, a message will appear once the first and last employees are reached. 06/28/2002 Fixed a problem with Calc Taxes in Payroll Entry where if a check was entered with a % of net amount and the check is calculated and then transmitted, the bureau processing center would recalculate the net and factor in the previously calculated value resulting in an incorrect amount. 06/27/2002 Fixed a problem in Employee Master Wage Setup where the W/C field when manually entered would only accept 5 digits instead of 6. This did not affect the field when the dropdown list was used. 06/27/2002 Fixed the Check Register print in PC2000 so that if printed with a Home Dept sort, output matches the report Bureau generates. 06/25/2002 Adjusted the PCPLUS+ 'Alien #' field to accept ten digits instead of just 8. 06/25/2002 Fixed a problem where clicking the ? on the Main Menu would not launch help. F1 (windows default for most programs does work correctly though). 06/25/2002 Added logic for the Employee Master so the employee cannot be saved with a state withholding state which matches one of the 3 other entries. ****************************************************** 06/14/2002 Version 2.0 Build 405 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 06/13/2002 Fixed a problem where Excel Spreadsheet Payroll was not properly handling Payline Item On/Off state. Also if a Calculated Paytype was set to Zero and it was the first payline item it would reset back to the default amount. 06/13/2002 Added logic so that while the Access Database Export is running, certain functions are locked out. Also added logic so that if the program is in the middle of an access database export and the user clicks on the Main Menu to Exit Program, the export is aborted cleanly. 06/13/2002 Added a visual indicator to the Access Database Export for the Pay History and Employee Master export section which shows the process is still working since those potentially could take longer (depending upon what the user selected to export). 06/13/2002 Fixed a problem in the Employee Master Wage Setup where the program was allowing the selection of 'Net' (% of Net) with Payline Items less than 40. 06/12/2002 Fixed a hotkey shortcut conflict on the Create Access Database screen. Two items were configured for ALT-U. 06/12/2002 Fixed a Payroll Entry Calc Taxes problem with regards to % of net pay lines. 06/11/2002 Added logic to only allow the Employee Timecard labels to be printed directly to a PCL Laser Printer since the PDF conversion does an approximate conversion and will not fit properly the label stock. 06/10/2002 Added better validation for data entered in the Quick Payroll Entry Grid. 06/10/2002 Changed the default button of many critical dialogs throughout the program so that 'No' is the default selection by hitting the enter key. 06/10/2002 Fixed a problem with Edit Voucher in Payroll Entry where the button in the bottom right hand corner incorrectly displays 'Edit This Voucher' and does nothing when clicked. The button now says 'Update This Voucher' and does so after edits are made. 06/10/2002 Fixed a problem with the File Change Report where if printed for changes since last processing, the report would not generate unless date were entered (dates not being required of course if printing that option) 06/10/2002 Implemented fix from Issue Tracker 5259 so that Job Name will appear next to Job Number on the Labor Distribution report when sorting by Jobs. 06/10/2002 Fixed a problem with displaying TaxFree deposits in View Prior Pay Periods where it was possible to misdisplay ER Fica Wages because of a rounding issue. 06/07/2002 Corrected logic for entering a check where there are no paylines. Previously the number of checks was incremented on screen mistakenly and no check was issued. Now this is allowed because of the potential to just be affecting taxes (for example editing the check and paying -500.00 on federal override will result in a check for $500.00 paid to the employee) 06/07/2002 Fixed the Edit Taxes screen where, depending upon the length of the employee number, the employee number and employee name display field were truncated. 06/07/2002 Added confirmation for the removal of PCPLUS+ option. 06/06/2002 Added logic to prevent transmission attempts when only the sample training company is loaded or is currently accessible because of security settings. 06/06/2002 Replicated core logic for Employee Master Hire and Rehire dates with regards to attempts to clear those fields when current employee accrual rules have ties to those dates. Also added logic for when rules are assigned and required dates are not yet present in the employee record. 06/05/2002 Fixed a problem where clicking Print Last Pay Period Reports on the Company Access Screen would only work one time and would work again once the company was exited. 06/04/2002 Pay Data Import updated so that multiple lines with no rate allocated to the same paytype will import correctly. 06/03/2002 Fixed a problem with Payline Effective Dates not always going effective in the system when they should. 05/31/2002 Added some minor speed optimizations throughout the program. May be more noticable on slower machines. 05/31/2002 Added delete confirmation for the 'Clear All Global Messages' and 'Clear All Employee Messages' on the Company Global Message Center screen. 05/30/2002 Fixed a problem with Calc Taxes in Payroll Entry on a check (not a voucher) where if the employee had taxes that were calculated via the percentage method, subsequent calculations on the same check would yield incorrect values. 05/30/2002 Added KeyCorp, Wells Regional, and City National Bank to the Issued Check Report Exports. 05/23/2002 Adjusted runtime dlls so that dependencies are now static linked rather than deployed seperately. 05/23/2002 Fixed a problem with restoring a company where the filename was stripped of the ~ character after being converted to an 8.3 format from a long filename format. ****************************************************** 05/10/2002 Version 2.0 Build 404 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 05/09/2002 Fixed an issue where if for some reason the MFEXTMAP file were deleted, the following files would be deleted during the creation of the new MFEXTMAP. FDSCFILE, PRNTFILE, TKEYFILE, TAXTFILE. 05/09/2002 Fixed the minimize button on the main menu. Build 403 had it unintentionally disabled. 05/09/2002 Fixed a problem where if a file sent via modem did not send there was no message indicating the failure. Now there is a message which includes the fact that the company will not be locked. 05/09/2002 Fixed an issue that would potentially prevent files from uploading via modem using the internal modem communications. 05/09/2002 Fixed an issue where if the MFEXTMAP.DAT was deleted and then PC2000 was subsequently executed and the RTP directory already existed, an error 75 message would appear when recreating the MFEXTMAP.DAT file. 05/03/2002 Added logic so that if a company is set up for an export file for the 401(k) Employer Match report, the file is automatically generated when the report is run and is placed in the EXPORT directory (or the location PRXEX points to in the MFEXTMAP.DAT file) 05/02/2002 Updated the View Prior Pay Periods Taxfree screen so that it will correctly display the new negative liabilities logic and match the payroll cover sheet. 05/01/2002 Fixed a bug in the Payroll Connection software update module that made it so HTTP connections (HTTPS to be more specific) would only work correctly if connecting to www.cbspayroll.com rather than the default of fast-pay.com. Both currently point to the same IP but the SSL cert was assigned to www.cbspayroll.com so now the updater will handle this situation properly. 05/01/2002 Fixed an intermittent issue with the Calendar where sometimes the Month and Year font appeared trashed. 05/01/2002 Enhanced the Company Process Options with a new load indicator while getting data. For our users with many companies (and especially when that data is on a network) the loading of data is slower and the delay could previously have deceived the user into thinking the program was not responding. Data load time was enhanced as well. 05/01/2002 Updated the new accrual system with an indicator that will go off during payroll entry if accrual hours are entered but the employee is not yet eligible for it. 05/01/2002 Fixed a problem with Backup & Restore where Build 403 would not back up a company without telling the user that Error 56 had occurred. 05/01/2002 Fixed a problem with Backup & Restore where if the browse button was clicked and a filename without an extension was entered an Error 5 would result. ****************************************************** 04/29/2002 Version 2.0 Build 403 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 04/26/2002 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry when entering non numeric data for the voucher number it would display a validation message twice and accept the invalid input as zero and write the voucher. 04/26/2002 Corrected an incorrect message when attempting to access the direct deposit tab on the Default Employee. 04/24/2002 Fixed a display problem with the Accrual Balance in the Employee Master where an uninitialized field would incorrectly display 21053.76 instead of 0.00. 04/24/2002 Fixed a problem with the Accrual Rate in the Employee Master when the current field is the rate and the user then clicks into a different field, the rate would round to 2 digits from 4. 04/21/2002 Adjusted the default image base address for the PC2000 DLL files WN190 and WNFILEIO so that most likely when they are loaded into memory they will occupy unallocated address space and won't have to be remapped by the OS. 04/20/2002 Adjusted security so that if the logged in user has access to no paytypes they can still access Payroll Entry. Previously the workaround was to create an unused paytype and give the user access to it. Also made it so "00 - NONE AVAILABLE" will show up in the Payroll Entry and Employee Master paytype list. 04/19/2002 Enhanced the program visually when running at the following resolutions and fonts [each of which require the program to make unique adjustments to maintain program usability] 640x480 Normal Fonts (96DPI) 800x600 Large Fonts (120DPI) 1024x768 and Higher with Large Fonts (120DPI) 04/16/2002 Fixed a problem where PC2000 was allowing employee number 99999 which is not allowed in the core bureau software. Adjusted the "Get Next Employee Number" so that if the highest employee number is 99998 then the program will start counting from 1 and find the first available number. 04/15/2002 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry "Calc Taxes" where if a limit had been reached and the check was adjusted the change was not saved or shown on the screen. 04/15/2002 Fixed a problem with setting up Advanced Security. The "Configure Lctn" button could only be clicked once on a company that had multiple locations. After that, the button did nothing. 04/14/2002 Fixed a problem when the user is using very large fonts and the program menu goes into multiple lines, the screen will now display completely instead of truncating the bottom the amount of the extra menu size. 04/12/2002 Added enhanced handling of operating system exceptions which previously would have shut down the program with extreme prejudice. 04/11/2002 Added Paytype, Department and Job lists under the Info menu on the Company Access Screen. 04/11/2002 Adjusted the 401(k) Benefits Match Report so that if the company is using CBS Uniplan, the report config can no longer be changed. Changes must be made at the CBS Service Bureau and subsequently received via a "Receive Only" communications session or a new Company Backup File. 04/10/2002 Fixed some field problems with the Mail Merge and added some additional fields to the process. 04/09/2002 Added the View/Print Payroll Error Log option to the Main Menu under the Supervisor menu. 04/08/2002 Added printing options to the Check Register Report. 04/08/2002 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry when holding the enter key down and going through the fields would cause the paytype box to come up unnecessarily. 04/05/2002 Fixed the beeping which happened on the Payroll Dates and Options screen when hitting enter to move through the different dates. 04/04/2002 Made more adjustments to PC2000 so that it would look better if the user is set to Large Fonts (120 DPI). 04/04/2002 Made all toolbar and button ICONS transparent so that they will look correct regardless of the current Windows color scheme/theme. 04/04/2002 Removed the dependency for THREED32.OCX from Payroll Connection 2000 and subprograms. Also removed it from the Payroll Connection 2000 installation. 04/03/2002 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master Extended Status field where some selections were mistakenly set as terminated status. Also added "Lay-Off" and "Abandonment" as requested. 04/02/2002 Fixed a problem where cancelling the print of the Employee Audit trail from the Employee Master would fail to cancel the report display. 04/02/2002 Fixed a problem when leaving the Employee Master Wage Setup tab when no paylines have been setup. 03/31/2002 Fixed a problem with editing Pay History where the value in second Memo Field was not being properly validated prior to saving. 03/31/2002 Added Benefit Match to Pay History and Edit Paycheck so the amount can be modified. 03/28/2002 Added One (Married One) as a valid option for EIC in the Employee Master and added it to Calc Taxes. 03/27/2002 Added an option in PC2000 View Prior Pay screen to let the user reprint checks (all or a range) for any past payroll run. 03/27/2002 Added the Billing Transaction History Report. 03/27/2002 Overhauled the PC2000 Internet file transmission code. The following changes have been made: Automatic Proxy Support. Files Are Compressed Prior To Send or Xmit. Extra Layer Of Encryption. (In Addition To SSL) Source And Destination CRC32 Comparison Files Sent Won't Be Overwritten Prior To Processing. Transmission Exceptions Are Clearly Indicated. 03/26/2002 Updated PC2000 so that it's now compatible with the bidirectional version of GRID32.OCX as well as the standard GRID32.OCX. 03/26/2002 Fixed a memory leak where each time the internal modem screen was loaded a new one was created rather than using a previously loaded instance. 03/26/2002 Updated PC2000 internal modem routines to account for a problem where some machines wouldn't properly upload files. 03/26/2002 Fixed a problem where the .BNT file sent during data transmission was including info for companies that the user was not transmitting or receiving. 03/26/2002 Fixed a problem with Advanced Security where Control Totals would not always show all accessible employees if logged in with limited access. 03/26/2002 Enhanced PC2000 with Report and Check printing options so that the user can specify what gets printed at the service bureau so that if the user decides to print reports or checks locally they will not receive duplicates with the payroll run. 03/26/2002 Enhanced PC2000 with an option where companies can be set so that when they transmit, the data will post but a payroll run will not be automatically generated. 03/12/2002 Fixed a problem with Local Taxes where if a employee hadn't been assigned a certain valid local tax but it was manually entered in the payroll grid, it would not be properly calculated. 03/01/2002 Fixed a problem with Advanced Security where if an Empl or Company was assigned visible only to User 3, 5 and 6 then the subsequent loading of company or employee lists would stop at that item. This change also results in faster company and employee list load times especially with larger companies. 02/24/2002 Added the Page Up and Page Down keys to the Payroll Entry screen to more closely match the keys available with DOS Payroll Entry. 02/22/2002 Enhanced the Payroll Entry so that a WT state is only accepted if it's been assigned to that Employee in the Employee Master Record. 02/22/2002 Enhanced the Employee Master Residence State field so that the dropdown selection only contains states that are entered for the current employee. 02/22/2002 Enhanced the Employee Master so that only states that are configured for the company can be selected. If an unconfigured state is selected, a message appears which gives instructions on getting it set up. 02/21/2002 Added the adjustment to the call to PR914 (Check Tax Calc) for 401(k) calculation for age 50+ 02/21/2002 Fixed a problem with Quick Payroll Entry where it was possible for the last employee to not be loaded into the grid. 02/21/2002 Enhanced the Payroll Connection Updater so that HTTPS is now an option in addition to the FTP protocol which seems to be frequently blocked at corporate firewalls. 02/20/2002 Adjusted how the PC2000 program ends. The program end would GPF some systems on a VERY rare basis. Previously a variation of the Win32 ExitProcess API was used. 02/20/2002 Adjusted how the Updater is launched before PC2000 exits. Ensures the Updater will run inheriting the same security context that PC2000 was launched under. 02/19/2002 Updated the PC2000 installation so that other programs written in earlier versions of Micro Focus Cobol would not conflict with a PC2000 install. 01/25/2002 Added Issued Check Report exports BOFAW and UBOFC Bank Of America West and Union Bank Of California. ****************************************************** 01/23/2002 Version 2.0 Build 402 Released Update available from Build 40x. ****************************************************** 01/22/2002 Fixed a problem with the PC2000 Update Manager where archiving the current .EXE and .DLL set would include the current subdirectory which meant when the files were extracted (upon request to revert back to a previous build) a subdirectory of CBSPAY32 under the main CBSPAY32 would be created for the files rather than overwriting the current files. 01/22/2002 Fixed a problem with creating a Payroll Entry Excel spreadsheet when the user has Office 2000 or earlier where creation of the spreadsheet would cause both excel and PC2000 to spontaneously exit. ****************************************************** 01/21/2002 Version 2.0 Build 401 Released Update available from Build 400. ****************************************************** 01/10/2002 Added an option to sort the normal client list by clicking the heading buttons. 01/10/2002 Fixed an error message that appeared when the Pay Summary was printed from within the PC2000 Employee Master. 01/09/2002 Added a multiOS version of REGSVR32.EXE to the install set since that file could potentially not exist which may cause certain files not to register properly (msstdfmt.dll as a good example). This file will be installed to the CBSPAY32 directory. 01/09/2002 Added an option so that if the string NOSTAR is passed at the PC2000 command line (even in the shortcut), the login screen will NOT display the cool starfield. This will allow PC2000 to be more friendly in the Netilla or Terminal Service environment. 01/09/2002 Fixed the Pension Eligibility Report for PC2000. 01/09/2002 Added a check at the beginning of a PC2000 session that makes sure the computer's regional settings are set to English/United States. 01/09/2002 Fixed a problem on the Backup/Restore screen where it could be hard to enter the branch and client number manually depending upon the approach taken to enter the data. 01/04/2002 Enhanced the PC2000 updater so that if PC2000N.BAT is found, the updater will treat the install as a network installation and will launch PC2000N.BAT instead of CBSPAY.EXE directly when relaunching the software after exiting. Non network installs should not rename their PC2000.BAT to PC2000N.BAT. 01/04/2002 Fixed a problem where PC2000 would transmit/receive companies the logged in user didn't have access to. 01/04/2002 Made an additional adjustment in order to correct the 400 Bad Request error when uploading via Internet when the client has DSL. 01/03/2002 Fixed a display problem in Pay History where the "Run Type: " field at the very top would not refresh as payrolls are scrolled through. 01/03/2002 Fixed a problem where the most recent payroll would not be displayed if it were processed in one year but the check date was in the next year. 12/31/2001 Fixed a problem with displaying help in certain areas of the program when the helpfile doesn't exist. 12/31/2001 Adjusted paycard logic so that only GenPass cards can be selected for employees. 12/23/2001 Fixed tooltip error with the Reactivate Employee button on the Employee Master. 12/22/2001 Added an option to let the user select from a list of laser printers in order to yield desired output. 12/22/2001 Added Badge Number and Clock Number to the Excel Employee Export. 12/19/2001 Fixed an issue where running the Print Last Pay Period report was corrupting the Event File index which made the pay history checks unviewable from View Prior Pay Periods screen. 12/18/2001 Fixed an issue where if 2 companies were restored to the system and the second had no paytypes, the program would get into an infinite loop when entering Payroll Entry or Excel Payroll. 12/18/2001 Added extra options to the Accrual Reports including the 'Include Term Empls', Sort Order and Page Breaks flags. 12/18/2001 Fixed a display problem with Accrual Reports screen where if the company was set up for all 8 accruals, the 8th option showed off to the right with the check box at the top. 11/30/2001 Fixed an issue with Quick Pay Entry for multi location companies where all locations would load rather than the selected location. 11/29/2001 Fixed an issue where Custom Screen dropdown boxes were all highlighted upon load on NT based systems. The result was that it just looked funky. 11/26/2001 Fixed a PCPLUS+ problem where some dropdown fields would not save the selected item. For example DOC 1: would not let you save INS FORM I-688B W/PHOTO. 11/16/2001 Fixed an issue where PC2000 was dropping off leading zeros in the client's phone number. This was just a display problem, not a problem with the actual data. 11/09/2001 Fixed an issue when setting up PC2000 security. When the user entered the password and saved and then tried to close, the message "Unable to close this screen etc etc......." would appear. 11/09/2001 Fixed an issue where PC2000 would only let you add one user at a time because the Add New User button would not become enabled until that screen was exited. ****************************************************** 09/17/2001 Version 2.0 Build 400 Released Must Install From CD Install. No Update From 3xx. ****************************************************** 09/14/2001 Enhanced the Payroll Calculator so that the state withholding dropdown box is dynamically populated with that state's specific options. 09/13/2001 Fixed the following display problems in Pay History: Some fields appeared to be editable. The invoice check number wasn't always initialized. Paycheck data, the Reversed indicator, and the Cancelled indicator would show from the last paycheck viewed if the user moved to a pay record that the checks record was not found. 09/12/2001 Adjusted the saving of Users so that the user remains loaded after they are saved rather than having to reselect them. Also made some minor validation mods to a few fields. 09/12/2001 Fixed a problem with Reverse Check where the original check or voucher number was not copied to the reversing entry in Payroll. Hence they did not show up in the Issued Check Report. 09/12/2001 Made an adjustment with the new Software Update so that PC2000 won't overwrite a newer version of the updater (in case the user rolled back to an earlier CBSPAY.EXE since PC2000 writes out the updater EXE from an internal resource file) 09/12/2001 Added an option to the Main Menu -> Help Menu to give the ability to display the PC2000 PDF Manual. I also set that file to be included with the files installed. Previously it was left on the install CD in the PDF_DOC directory because of the previous file size. 09/12/2001 Fixed a problem with the Payroll Dates and using just the keyboard. If a message appeared informing the user that there was a problem with the check date, usage of the mouse would have been necessary to position focus back to the date or time input box. 09/11/2001 Fixed a problem with overtime overriding in Payroll Entry where it was possible for the program to load the OT override box for the next payline instead of the current (would happen if no OT hours had been entered yet). 09/11/2001 Adjusted the overtime overriding in Payroll Entry so that it now shows the default company OT rates. 09/11/2001 Changed the default starting field for the Reverse Issued Check/Voucher form to begin with the check date and not the Empl# field. Also added an option to display the list of prior check dates. 09/11/2001 Added a couple of missing Billing Category items when viewing Invoice in Pay History. 09/10/2001 Fixed Journal Entry Report creating 2 sets of reports. 09/10/2001 Fixed another issue with regards to backing up and entries not making it in the CBU from the canceled check file. This affected agency checks from showing up on the Issued Check Report. Creating a .CBU from bureau will require 2001.035 to have same fix. 09/10/2001 Adjusted a few of PCPLUS+ created screen 2 fields to correct some incorrect descriptions. 09/07/2001 Added a check when running the Payroll Summary Report Condensed Version to make sure there is at least one paytype configured for the report. If there isn't, a message appears informing the user. Previously a blank page would be generated. 09/07/2001 Included adjustment on Job Cost Report made by John Sandlin to get the report to include ER taxes on the employee summary. 09/06/2001 Fixed some issues where invalid amounts could still be entered for pay rate and hours in Payroll Entry. Also enhanced the validation for the UI and WT state. 09/06/2001 Fixed an issue in Payroll Entry where when there were enough paylines that scrolling would occur and when entering departments, the program would occasionally report that the dept was invalid. Also fixed an issue where if immediately after that message appeared some hotkey functions were not immediately available until the user performed a subsequent action. 09/06/2001 Enhanced Modem and Internet communications so that the BNT File is adjusted before it's transmitted to only process files actually sent/received. 09/05/2001 Enhanced Modem code to better accomodate the USR WinModem. 09/04/2001 Enhanced the Payroll Calculator to remember settings and load them as defaults on subsequent uses. 09/03/2001 Fixed an issue on the Payroll Entry Spreadsheet where the "Skip This Empl" switch could not be set on the spreadsheet. 08/30/2001 Added an option in the Employee Master Special Configuration screen that will allow the user to get PC2000 to display the Search/Sort options on the employee list. 08/30/2001 Updated install to include IQW_PLUS.ZIP which contains the release version of the PCPLUS+ reports. 08/29/2001 Fixed the sort of the Unpaid Employees list in Payroll Entry so it'll match the default payroll entry sort. 08/29/2001 Adjusted the calculation of hourly pay. Each hourly (Reg, OT1, etc) amount is individually rounded before it is summed. Previously each was calculated and the final sum was rounded. 08/27/2001 Fixed a redraw issue on resizable forms when Windows is configured to "Show Window Contents While Dragging". 08/27/2001 Updated PCPLUS+ default screen 2 fields with some additional entries for some of the dropdown boxes. 08/24/2001 Fixed an issue with PC2000 users with multiple companies loaded on the system. Running Control Totals would cause the program to check the paytypes but it would run through the entire paytype file so if there were many companies it would account for a small pause after clicking the totals button and the counting of paychecks. 08/24/2001 Fixed a problem with the Journal Entry report freezing [actually an endless loop] when printed on an NT 4.0 system. 08/23/2001 Added an option from the Main Menu/Supervisor's Menu to set the paycheck ESS Url. 08/23/2001 Fixed a problem where saving the Internet Xmit Url was overwriting other fields in the PM-INTERNET-DATA section of the permission file. That included the support email address and the ESS url. 08/22/2001 Enhanced the Timecard Label Report screen so that the page break option is more understandable as well as disabling the page break when an invalid sort is selected. 08/22/2001 Fixed problems with Global Employee Messages where the Location/Department/Job allocations could not be removed and deleting a message after #1 would leave the message text in the entry boxes. 08/22/2001 Enhanced the entry of Global Employee Messages so that if a message has changed and the user either goes to another message or leaves that section of the program without saving, a save dialog appears. 08/22/2001 Enhanced the Reactivate Employee option so that a new custom dialog is displayed giving the user a choice of a rehire date of Today's Date, a specified date (via a popup calendar or direct entry), no rehire date, or to cancel the reactivation. 08/22/2001 Added an option to the Birthday Report to include an option to omit the birth year from the report. 08/22/2001 Fixed an issue where accessing the Employee Master directly from Payroll Entry and not having yet accessed Employee Master from the main list yet that session causes the "Direct Report To" popup list to be not yet populated. 08/22/2001 Added 2 entries in the Employee Master Configuration screen to allow the specification of a default sort order and a default display for the employee list. 08/21/2001 Enhanced the Support Email function so that the branch the user normally transmits to is included in the email subject title so that support can more quickly identify the home branch. 08/21/2001 Enhanced Department Earnings Summary reports so that both the Summary and Detailed reports can be printed for MM/YYYY in addition to check date. 08/21/2001 Added the "Earnings/Hours Report" under Employee Earnings Records. 08/20/2001 Included service bureau mod for Oklahoma tax calcs. 08/20/2001 Added the "Overtime Earnings/Hours Report" under the Department Earnings Reports. 08/20/2001 Enhanced calendar with options to select Jan 1, Dec 31 Today and Tomorrow with one click of the mouse or one keystroke. 08/20/2001 Fixed a problem with configuring normal security where the "Configure Data Access" button would disappear if creation of a new user was cancelled. 08/19/2001 Added an option to "Print Last Pay Period Reports". 08/17/2001 Upgraded the modem communications component from 8.0 Build 2300 to 8.0 Build 2312. (Sax Comm Objects) 08/15/2001 Enhanced payroll entry so that hours are accepted on salary payline items and default standard hours are automatically populated as well. 08/13/2001 Fixed a problem with EIC on Pay Summary and displaying a past history paycheck. Neither were adding the EIC correctly. 08/10/2001 Enhanced Modem Receive so that when receiving back a file will cause CBSTAX_D.ZIP to be downloaded. The next time the program is launched, this file is decompressed and the tax tables and keys are set in the proper place. 08/09/2001 Enhanced the IQ Report Writer for Windows options with an additional option to automate the process for updating the current database with a new data dictionary file. (obtained from an install CD or http://pc2000.cbspayroll.com) 08/09/2001 Fixed a problem with backing up a company where entries in the canceled check file were not being included in the .CBU file. 08/08/2001 Enhanced the file dialogs so that when multiple file extensions are involved (like Pay Data Import) all file types can be seen in the current view rather than having to switch from extension to extension. 08/07/2001 Adjusted PCPLUS+ so that if the user gets enabled and IQ itself hasn't been enabled yet, it's also enabled at that time. 08/06/2001 Adjusted the software so that if the program is running on one of our payroll user's clients, the www.cbspayroll.com is not displayed at the bottom of the reports. 07/30/2001 Enhanced the Internet Transmit function to adjust for the problem where files sometimes do not make it to the server or generate an error 400 (in Build 344). PC2000 knows when the file doesn't make it to the server and then uses a secondary file transfer method to send the file. 07/27/2001 Enhanced the Update Function with an entirely new program with comprehensive features. 07/20/2001 Adjusted PCPLUS+ so that using the disable function will not work unless they are already activated. 07/20/2001 Adjusted PCPLUS+ so that the user is notified if they are going to be overwriting existing screen 2 fields. 07/20/2001 Fixed a problem when PC2000 attempted to dynamically replace a required entry in the MFEXTMAP.DAT. Under a certain circumstance it would be possible to get duplicate entries in the MFEXTMAP.DAT. 07/19/2001 Fixed a problem in the Employee Master Wage Setup tab where if the employee already has 25 default paylines and attempts to use the "Insert Payline" button, there was previously no warning that the last payline would be lost due to the insert. The program will now warn the user of the consequence and confirm the insert payline request. 07/19/2001 Fixed a problem in the Employee Master Wage Setup tab where if the employee already has 25 default paylines and attempts to use the "Sort Paylines" button an error occurs. 07/18/2001 Enhanced the company lock so that if the index has been corrupted, a more useful message appears than the one that did previously. ****************************************************** 07/12/2001 Version 2.0 Build 344 Released On A Limited Basis. Must Install From CD Install. No Update From 3xx. ****************************************************** 07/11/2001 Added support to properly display Unichek numbers in prior pay history and on the cover sheet. 07/11/2001 Fixed a problem where if the program were installed and subsequently networked peer to peer and the client machine mapped a drive letter directory to the host's C:\CBSPAY32 directory (effectively creating a drive letter on the client machine that made PC2000 be on the root) prior pay history could not be properly accessed. 07/05/2001 Added mod to support the new PCPlus+ report writer package. 07/05/2001 Added a mod to implement the new paycards in PC2000. 07/05/2001 Added an option to the Main Menu, Supervisor Menu to allow the user to enable and disable a sample training company. Also adjusted the program so that the sample company cannot be transmitted or received. 06/29/2001 Enhanced the Journal Entry export to Excel so that if run for multiple companies, all the info would be displayed in one spreadsheet. 06/29/2001 Fixed an advanced security issue where it was possible for a user to print a paycheck for an employee they had access to even if the paycheck had paytypes they did not have access to. 06/27/2001 Added an enhancement so that employee changes are now sent and received by individual field rather than the entire employee record. 06/13/2001 Fixed a problem with Pay All Salary employees where if the company was multiple locations, the program was not prompting the user for which location to process hence nobody was issued paychecks. 06/13/2001 Fixed a problem with Backup Client where if the user specified too long of a filename, the backup would not take place correctly. 06/13/2001 Fixed a problem with Backup Client where if the user clicked the Browse button to specify a filename to save as, the filename would not be placed in the proper input field as expected. 06/12/2001 Enhanced Internet Receive so that when receiving back a file will cause CBSTAX_D.ZIP to be downloaded. The next time the program is launched, this file is decompressed and the tax tables and keys are set in the proper place. ****************************************************** 06/07/2001 Version 2.0 Build 343 Released On A Limited Basis. Must Install From CD Install. No Update From 3xx. ****************************************************** ****************************************************** 05/30/2001 Version 2.0 Build 341 As A Private Build Only. Must Install From CD Install. No Update From 339. ****************************************************** 05/30/2001 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry where if the employee master defaults contained paytypes that used to be set as calculated but are now set up as hourly the default rate did not display when entering pay. 05/29/2001 Enhanced Backup and Restore grid so that when that screen is resized, so is the grid. 05/27/2001 Enhanced Backup and Restore so that information is displayed as the process completes. 05/24/2001 Enhanced Internet Transmit with a new section that will display diagnostic information which may be helpful in solving sending/receiving/connection problems. 05/24/2001 Enhanced the company backup so that the program will now prompt if Audit Trail records should be backed up instead of defaulting to yes automatically. 05/23/2001 Updated the PCL to PDF converter to a newer version that renders the reports more accurately and allows for the MICR line to be properly displayed at the bottom of checks generated in PC2000. 05/22/2001 Enhanced the report menu so that reports that do not require a date or date range do not display the "Show Past Check Dates" button. Apparently this was confusing for some people. 05/22/2001 Fixed a Build 341 specific problem with Payroll Entry where if the user zero'd the WC field, it would zero the first payline regardless of which payline the user intended to zero out. 05/22/2001 Fixed a problem with calculating taxes on a voucher when the client for whatever reason has out of date or incorrect tax tables. Once the check was received by the service bureau it was mistakenly recalculated and the correct taxes were written to the voucher. This has been corrected. 05/22/2001 Fixed a problem with running reports that require a paytype (payline item number). If the user manually entered a paytype into the box and it was not valid, a cobol 173 error would occur on GETFUNCT. Now a proper message appears asking the user for a valid paytype. 05/21/2001 Enhanced the company restore function so that a .CBU file spanned across multiple diskettes will now properly restore. A message box will appear in between each diskette to prompt the user to change disks. 05/21/2001 Fixed a Build 341 specific issue with Importing Pay Data. A message indicating that the import was not successful was mistakenly displayed when in fact the function was successful (hence checks were issued). 05/17/2001 Fixed an issue with Employee Master Wage Setup where it was problematic to delete the first default payline (so the wage grid was empty) and save. 05/17/2001 Fixed an issue with Employee Master Wage Setup where if the current payline is deleted, the input box did not move up to the previous entry. 05/17/2001 Fixed an issue with Employee Master Direct Deposit tab where the company is enabled for data entry, deleting a direct deposit line was not working correctly if the line being deleted was not the line that currently had the input box. 05/17/2001 Fixed an issue with Payroll Entry where the payroll grid scrollbar was not reset when going from employee to employee. 05/17/2001 Fixed an issue with Company Restore where the source filename was truncated after 35 characters. 05/09/2001 Fixed a Build 341 specific custom screen bug where if the first group of fields are radio buttons, the correct value is saved, but the next time the employee is loaded, the wrong radio button option could be displayed. 05/09/2001 Fixed a Build 341 specific custom screen bug where if all 40 fields are created and then a gap is created by deleting a field number between 1 and 40, fields after that gap index would not be properly saved. In my test I deleted field 21 and subsequently fields 22-40 would not save. This is no longer the case. 05/09/2001 Fixed a Build 341 specific custom screen bug where if the user tabbed through the fields, the radio buttons would change values. 05/09/2001 When creating a Payroll Entry Spreadsheet using Excel in Office XP and the option to generate a calc totals button is selected, by default no code was put behind the command button. A new message box now gives an explanation that "Excel is currently configured to disallow programmatic access to Visual Basic Project." and also explains how that can be enabled. ****************************************************** 05/03/2001 Version 2.0 Build 341 Released On A Limited Basis. Must Install From CD Install. No Update From 339. ****************************************************** 05/02/2001 Fixed a problem with the Pre Processing Report if the company run is set up as a dept/job company. If the user selected a Dept the report would not print properly. There was also no way to specify what job number to print. 05/01/2001 Fixed 2 pop up message boxes that occur if the program is installed and a Windows Permission Disk is not installed when it's asked for. 05/01/2001 Fixed an issue when in the Employee Master. If the user clicks Term or Reactivate Employee and no other changes have been made yet, exiting the employee master will not display a "Save Changes" message. I also added a very informative message box that lets the user know that the Term or Reactivate change was saved even if other changes had not been saved yet. 05/01/2001 Fixed an issue where some salary paylines would not show up on a Department Earnings Summary. This fixes data created from this day forward. 04/27/2001 Made a Delete Company option which is available from the Main Menu, Supervisor Menu, System Utilities Menu. It's only visible when the program is run via the back door password so it will only be utilized with CBS rep supervision. 04/26/2001 Adjusted the Pre Processing Report so that if the report runs successfully, program focus is returned to the previous menu rather than the Pre Processing Report menu. 04/26/2001 Fixed an issue with Payroll Entry where if the user has clicked a pending check or voucher and then clicks the Accrual Fields, Location, or Tax Frequency to make a change, before specifically indicating they want to edit the check, they are asked if they want to edit. If the user said yes the entry box did not appear. Also, previously, clicking the Tax Frequency did not trigger the appropriate question about editing the check. 04/25/2001 Made a speed enhancement for loading Payroll Entry. More apparent on a slower machine or running with data located on a network. 04/25/2001 Adjusted Check Signoff Sheet report so that if the user is utilizing the "Show Past Check Dates" and wants to populate the Period End Date, it will place the correct field. (Period End Date would be the last date field the user clicked before viewing past date list.) 04/25/2001 Fixed an issue with running the Pre Processing Report. Sometimes running the report would claim to have generated errors when none actually occurred. The report would display anyway though. 04/25/2001 Fixed an issue with Payroll Entry where % of Net Pay was not properly considering the payline frequency. 04/24/2001 Fixed an issue with Payroll Entry where a rare set of circumstances would cause the first hourly payline to double the regular hours * rate amount. Although this could not be reproduced in house, the one client that experienced this anomaly was fixed by a rewrite of the section of code that performs this calculation. 04/24/2001 Made a speed enhancement for loading a company. More apparent on a slower machine or running with data located on a network. 04/24/2001 Fixed an issue with Payroll Entry where % of Net Pay was still deducting even if the goal for that payline had been satisfied. 04/23/2001 Added the Employer Benefit Match Report to PC2000. This is located under the Payline Items/Benefits Reports section. 04/23/2001 Enhanced the Employee Master so that access to the Tax "Is Employee Subject" boxes can be granted. This is set up exactly like the EE Master Direct Deposit flag. The flag is located in System Configuration and requires the backdoor access code to modify. 04/22/2001 Fixed an issue with Payroll Entry where % of Net Pay was not being calculated correctly. First, the OI field "Exclude from % Of Net Pay Items" was not being factored correctly into the calculation. Additionally if there were more than 1 % of Net paylines, the previously calculated and deducted Net amount was not being subtracted prior to calculating. So if both of the % of Net items were 10%, both entries would match which is not correct. 04/22/2001 Fixed an issue with Payroll Entry where if there are calculated fields with 0.00 as the amount, the act of just entering through the fields would prompt an unnecessary question about if the field should be converted to a non calculated type. 04/19/2001 Enhanced Payroll Dates And Options screen so when the paycheck file is initially created, the program will attempt to calculate the correct dates for the current payroll. 04/19/2001 Added the following reports to PC2000: Employee New Hire Report [Ver B] This report does not replace the intrinsic report but provides for a date range and includes the hire date. 04/19/2001 Enhanced Reporting so that PC2000 users with multiple companies on the system can run reports for more than just the current company. The following reports have that ability: Check Register Issued Check Report Journal Entry Report Employee File Change Report For example if a user specifies to run a check register for 3 of their companies and specifies 01/01/2001 as their check date, they will get 3 check registers. Previously the user would have had to go into each company and run the report individually. This, of course, means all 3 companies would have had to have the same check date. This works for printing directly to the printer, viewing on screen (PDF) and creating .PDF file. Exporting to Excel still would require going into each company and running the report for those reports that have Excel export. 04/16/2001 Enhanced Spreadsheet Payroll Entry by adding support for the memo fields. 04/16/2001 Enhanced Custom Screens so that hitting the Enter key or Tab key will progress through the fields in order of field number. 04/16/2001 Added EIC to the Payroll Calculator. 04/13/2001 Fixed a problem with running the Journal Entry Report where the report would just freeze. This problem was not os specific (as people alleged). 04/12/2001 Enhanced the speed at which data received via file i/o is processed. This will result in a speed increase throughout most of the program especially apparent on slower systems. 04/12/2001 Fixed a problem in the Employee Master Wage Tab where if the current focus (black input box) was on a local code and the user hit F10 to save, the code would be erased. 04/11/2001 Enhanced Employee Master so that the Default Job Number field now has a drop down list that can be accessed by double clicking or hitting F9. This is useful if the company has predefined descriptions to go with job numbers. 04/11/2001 Added Employee Direct Report field in the General Tab of the Employee Master. This field is utilized in ESS and other future enhancements. 04/10/2001 Enhanced Custom Screens so that now we automatically left and right trim spaces from input fields for easier entry. Also fixed a bug where the user could create a field where the specified offsets would make the field appear off the screen and render it inaccessible. 04/09/2001 Enhanced Custom Screens so you can tell which field number you are dealing with/creating. Also fixed some issues with positioning fields. Fixed the width of check boxes and radio buttons so they don't take too much space like they did previously. The screens also draw a little faster then they did previously. 04/09/2001 Fixed a problem with the Payroll Calculator where sometimes the incorrect figure is displayed for Fed and State Withholdings. 04/06/2001 Fixed a problem with terminating employees from certain areas of the program. 04/06/2001 Updated the installer so that during the pause while the installer is going to reboot (a period of time that the user might think their system is frozen) a message is displayed that should alleviate any concerns about what is happening. 04/05/2001 Fixed a problem where the Labor Distribution report would mistakenly default to printing the report by dept/job if no record exists in the table file. 04/04/2001 Fixed a problem with the Zip code field in the first tab of the Employee Master. The field was not properly displaying leading zeros. 04/02/2001 Replaced the Calendar component (we were using Microsoft Calendar Component 9.0) with one that is better and will not conflict with any other applications. 04/02/2001 Upgraded the modem communications component from 7.0 to 8.0 (Sax Comm Objects) 04/02/2001 Upgraded several internal components which will make it unlikely that we will conflict with other software (like Soloman Accounting, etc) 03/27/2001 Fixed a problem where the time on the Payroll Dates and Options screen was not saving properly. 03/21/2001 Fixed a problem with transmitting more than 26 clients at a time. The "Backup_In_File" procedure would fail after the letter Z is used to get the backup filename. Now the limit for clients transmitted at once is 676. 03/16/2001 Fixed a bug where the Payroll Entry screen had a mislabeled field. Taxable Pay should have read Gross Pay. Also when calculating taxes, the Taxable Pay field was not showing the correct amount. This is now fixed. 03/16/2001 Fixed a bug where printing the Pre Processing Report when the client is not multiple location and the user requests just one dept, no data is shown. 03/09/2001 Fixed a bug where Error 401 would appear if printing a check from Employee Master's View Pay History to a laser printer. Check would print anyway so this was just a nuisance message. 03/06/2001 Added logic to detect a failed internet transmission due to the sa-xfile bug. 03/06/2001 Fixed a problem where a client that was multiple locations was changed to non multiple, the program was still loading all the locations into memory and was requiring entry of one of the deactivated location numbers in the employee master. 02/21/2001 Fixed the calculation of taxes when an employee works in one state and lives in another. The residence state from the employee master was not being properly recognized and passed to the tax calculation program. 02/21/2001 Fixed mouse-over tooltips on the Payroll Dates and Processing Options screen. A couple of the tips had incorrect information. ****************************************************** 02/15/2001 Version 2.0 Build 339 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 02/14/2001 Enhanced the Employee Reports so that if the user trys to run a report that will include all employees, the choice is confirmed. This is because some users are unaware that selecting 0 or leaving the employee box blank is an indication of selecting to run for all employees. 02/14/2001 Fixed a problem with Department Earnings reports where data would sometimes spill off the page onto the next. 02/09/2001 Implemented minor speed enhancements throughout the entire software especially with regard to string evaluation. Hopefully more easily noticed on a slower computer. 02/08/2001 Enhanced the Create Excel Spreadsheet for payroll so that the step where employees are being exported, the program updates the progress bar and shows the current employee being exported. For large companies this will prevent the program from appearing frozen when processing this step. 02/07/2001 Enhanced the first time the PC2000 software is launched with respect to the message that appears asking the user whether or not they want to use their existing data. In addition to the message being less confusing, the buttons are properly labeled instead of saying 'Yes' and 'No'. 02/07/2001 Enhanced the launching of IQ Report Writer so that the program no longer creates a batch file to run the program. A proper environment block is created and the program is launched via the Windows API which should work consistently across all Windows OS. This also means when IQ is launched, the users will no longer see a DOS box appear (previously appeared for an instant or two). This also corrects an issue where reports with LB and EM information in the same report would not run properly. 02/07/2001 Fixed a problem with Employee Master Pay Summary and View Prior Paychecks screens. Both screens have a print button and when the print dialog comes up with a cancel option, selecting cancel would print/show the report anyway. 02/06/2001 Fixed a Payroll Entry issue with regards to editing a paycheck or voucher. If changes were made and the Payroll Entry screen is exited without saving, the changes were saved anyway. The program will now prompt the user about saving. 02/06/2001 Enhanced Payroll Entry to accept F6 and F4 when editing a check or voucher to save. F6 to update as a check and F4 to update as a voucher. 02/06/2001 Fixed an issue with editing a paycheck in Pay History. It was possible to save invalid data to the paycheck. 02/05/2001 Fixed an issue with the Payroll Dates and Processing Options screen where the program would allow the user to "Pay All Salary Employees" with a check date prior to next day's date. 02/05/2001 Fixed an issue with running reports where there is an option for a range of employees. If both boxes are blanked an error 13 occurs but the report runs anyway. Also allowed for the user to enter the range of employees in backwards which did not work previously. 02/04/2001 Fixed an issue in Regular and Advanced Security setup where it was possible to click another processing option while another option was already in progress. Also made it more obvious on the screen that the processing is occurring and the computer isn't frozen. 02/04/2001 Fixed a problem when changing a currently issued check into a voucher. Updated to the new voucher number input screen and also changed the green check icon into a blue one. 02/02/2001 Fixed a problem with the Paycheck Edit screen where scrolling down to the bottom would sometimes now allow scrolling all the way back up to the top via the scrollbar. 02/02/2001 Fixed Access Database Export Payline Table to include the payline department. 02/02/2001 Fixed several additional areas of the program where the WC was only allowing entry of 5 digits. 02/02/2001 Fixed a problem with posting a Windows Permission Diskette and Tax Diskette from the Main Menu if Drive A or B were selected. 02/01/2001 Fixed a problem with Employee Master General Tab where if the user manually entered EEOC Race and Position instead of using the drop down selection, the value did not save. 02/01/2001 Enhanced Company Restore so that the program will now validate the specified .CBU file before it attempts to restore it. 01/31/2001 Enhanced Payroll Entry so that when check data is entered and the ESC key is pressed, a confirmation message will appear asking if the user wants to revert back to employee master defaults. Upon confirmation the user can immediately enter data. Previously there was no confirmation and the entry box would disappear requiring the user to click into the grid or go to the next employee and back. Hitting ESC when the paytype list is visible will only make that list disappear. 01/30/2001 Enhanced the Import Pay Data function so that the user's import file extension filter is remembered from previous imports. The default import directory is also remembered. Each client can have different default settings. 01/30/2001 Enhanced the "Delete All Paychecks" utility available from the Supervisor Menu/System Utilities Menu so that if a current paycheck file exists, the current check date, number of entered checks and number of entered vouchers is displayed along with the delete confirmation dialog. 01/30/2001 Fixed a problem with processing a Windows Permission Disk or a Tax Update Disk where if the user selects the floppy drive and there is no diskette present, the program asks whether the user wants to try again. If the user responds with No, the hourglass does not go away. 01/30/2001 Fixed a problem with copying files from floppy disks on some laptop systems. 01/30/2001 Fixed a few minor navigational issues on the Employee Master Wage Info tab when using the program with the keyboard only. 01/30/2001 Fixed 2 problems in Pay History. If the client was not a TaxFree client and the user clicked the TaxFree Deposits tab, the program would automatically move to the regular deposits tab but data wasn't always correctly populated. In addition, if the user viewed several check dates and went to the Deposits tab, each payroll's deposit info was added to the grid instead of replacing the data. 01/30/2001 Included into the CD Setup a new version of Sax Software's communication object (SAXCOMM7.OCX Build 2202) This object should hopefully clear up some transmitting issues for users not using the new external communications. The external communications is still the recommended method until the internal is rewritten (most likely that will be Build 340) 01/29/2001 Fixed a problem in Employee Master Wage Setup tab where a user could invoke a pop-up selection box (by either hitting F9 or double clicking the field) and was incorrectly allowed to move to another field without a valid selection. This has been corrected. 01/29/2001 Fixed the Direct Deposit Settings in the Payroll Dates screen so when the X button is clicked, the data is immediately saved. Previously if the user clicked X and immediately went back to Direct Deposit settings the previous flag was loaded. Previously the flag was saved upon entering Payroll or Exiting the payroll dates screen. 01/29/2001 Fixed a problem with Pay All Salary Employees and Import Pay Data where importing would generate checks with direct deposit even if the Direct Deposit override flag (At the Payroll Entry Dates screen) was set to No Direct Deposit. This did not affect checks manually entered or imported from Excel Spreadsheet. 01/28/2001 Enhanced the Calc Taxes screen in the interest of consistency. 01/26/2001 Fixed a problem with the Workers Comp report when generated in landscape mode. Some entries at the bottom of the page would end up in the header of the next page. 01/25/2001 Updated the Calc Taxes screen so that the Printer Icon when clicked will generate a report rather than a simple screen capture. 01/24/2001 Enhanced the program so that the following file is longer a program dependency: MHTEXT32.OCX 01/24/2001 Enhanced Payroll Entry so that when the paytype list is visible, the user can type in numbers and the list will move to the correct number. For example if the user has paytypes 50-59 and hits 5, the list will move to 50. If the user hits 5 again, the list will move to 55. 01/24/2001 Enhanced report printing to Excel by providing a "Save File As" dialog while the report is being processed. Previously the user had to specify the destination filename ahead of time. 01/24/2001 Enhanced report printing with a save to .PDF file option. The other .PDF option did not provide a nice simple way of getting a .PDF file since all generated files from the previous session are always erased upon launching PC2000. 01/24/2001 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry where sometimes editing and updating an existing paycheck or voucher would cause the program to not move to the next employee after the NEXT check issued. 01/24/2001 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry where an invalid Workers Compensation number would not display any kind of error message. The field would simply not be saved and was not immediately obvious until the check was reloaded. 01/23/2001 Fixed a problem in the Employee Master and Payroll Entry where neither screen would accept a 6 digit Workers Compensation number. 01/23/2001 Added PC2000.BAT and EXTFH.CFG to the software install for usage with network installations. If a user wants to run PC2000 with the data on a Windows NT type network, these files should be present in C:\CBSPAY32 and the software's launch icon should be adjusted to run the software via the PC2000.BAT file. 01/23/2001 Replaced the Edit Taxes screen in Process Payroll entry in the interest of consistency. The new screen is functionally the same as the previous (far less cluttered though) but with the same look and feel as the rest of the program (less a few screens I still have yet to enhance) 01/23/2001 Fixed a problem with viewing report output via .PDF where Acrobat Reader does not remain in the foreground after the report is displayed. 01/22/2001 Fixed a problem introduced in Build 338 where a .CBU file could not be restored if the company already existed and was not configured as a remote entry client. Now only the SUPERVISOR user has the ability to restore over non remote entry companies. 01/21/2001 Fixed a problem introduced in Build 338 with regards to Advanced Security and User #1. User #1 did have access to all available companies on the PC2000 system. This problem is probably pretty insignificant because User #1 would not have had access to any Empls, Depts, Lctns, Paytypes unless they were specifically granted to the user. 01/20/2001 Enhanced Advanced Security with an option to take away access to ALL Users with one (confirmed of course) click of a button. 01/19/2001 Fixed a problem with the Pre Processing Report where if the company was not multiple location, the report would not generate properly if the user attempted to narrow results by a specific department. 01/19/2001 Updated the configuration for the Internet Transmit URL to make the field available in a normal PC2000 session. 01/18/2001 Updated the Advanced Security screen because the hotkey shortcuts were not working properly and updated the options to normal buttons. 01/18/2001 Enhanced the Program Security so that with both the basic and advanced scheme, wide access can be both granted and denied by clicking one button. Also set up a button for Advanced Security to reset ALL Users which can be necessary for our users that first used basic security and now want to use Advanced. 01/16/2001 Enhanced the Client Transmission List when the user has multiple companies. There is now an option to change all of the transmission flags at one time. Companies already transmitted "" will not be changed since it would not be logical to do so. 01/15/2001 Enhanced the Prior Payroll Date listing. Now instead of automatically loading ALL pay history dates (which wasn't ideal for all users) there are now various data population options. Also included a "Stop Loading" option in case loading is taking too long. 01/11/2001 Fixed a problem with posting a Tax Update where if the CBSTAX.ZIP file were corrupt, the program would report an Error 110. Future occurances will better explain the problem. [i.e. Bad Floppy, Bad Floppy Drive, Original ZIP itself it corrupt before it was copied to diskette, etc] 01/11/2001 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry Edit Taxes where it was possible to send the program into an infinite loop which would eventually cause a GPF in KERNEL32.DLL and/or an Error 28 Out Of Stack Space. 01/11/2001 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry where going to the next employee would cause a non-fatal error #13 (basically just a nag error message) if that employee was hired or born on a leap day and the date has been entered into the database. 01/10/2001 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry where the first payline contains local taxes and a new line is entered and the items are copied, the local tax appears but was not properly saved unless it was entered manually. ****************************************************** 01/10/2001 Version 2.0 Build 338 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 01/08/2001 Updated the client listings to only show remote entry clients. 01/08/2001 Enhanced the loading of the client listing. The speed increase is substantial especially when the client has many different companies and is using security and the data is located on the network. 01/05/2001 Enhanced Payroll Entry to include a direct deposit override field. This field is located on the payroll dates screen under the Direct Deposit Settings option. The button is not visible for non direct deposit companies. 01/05/2001 Fixed a problem with designing Custom Screen fields where occasionally a message complaining that "Control Array # does not exist" would appear. 01/05/2001 Enhanced the Custom Employee Master Screens to include support for screen #2. The screen can be designed and is available from the custom screen tab in the Employee Master. 01/04/2001 Enhanced the Issued Check Report. Split the report into 2 reports. One is the normal version and the "Omit Unicheks" option was added. The other version is the Issued Check Report Export File where the client can create a file as long as it has been set up at the service bureau. Generic file option works regardless of service bureau setup. 01/04/2001 Fixed a problem with attempting to process an Off Period Payroll if a paycheck file did not yet exist. Once the user made it to the payroll dates screen the proper indicator would not show and payroll entry processing would not act like it should for an Off Period Payroll. If the paycheck file already existed this was not a problem. 01/04/2001 Fixed a problem when loading a company. If a paycheck file already existed and was set for Off Period Payroll, the proper checkbox was not automatically checked so that by default the next time the user entered payroll entry the processing would still act like it should for an Off Period Payroll. 01/04/2001 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry where if a check already existed in the system, the user enters a second check and clicks the first check. The second check was properly saved but the check icon did not appear unless the user went forward (or backward) one employee and then back. 01/04/2001 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry where if the user selected to process an "Off Period Payroll", the check accruals were not defaulting to off. 01/02/2001 Fixed a problem with Pay Data Import where if the import file could not copy, the hourglass never goes away. 01/02/2001 Fixed a small problem with Pay Data Import. If the pay data import file is currently locked by another program with an exclusive lock, the PC2000 previously reported a "Permission Denied" error when attempting to copy. The error has been updated to inform the user that the file is currently locked by another program which is much more informative. ****************************************************** 12/29/2000 Version 2.0 Build 337 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 12/29/2000 Updated installer to exclude a few files that are no longer needed. 12/29/2000 Fixed a problem where changing an employee name in the Employee Master accessed via Payroll Entry would not always properly update the name in the search grid. Also fixed an issue where the Dept# in the search grid had a slash character that should not have been there. 12/29/2000 Updated the Issue Voucher dialog and included a cancel option. 12/29/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Field Level Import. PC2000 incorrectly reported it was unable to locate the specified import file and was then unable to proceed. 12/29/2000 Fixed a small problem with Quick Payroll Entry with determining if the first line is actually an hourly entry when the paytype is calculated. 12/29/2000 Fixed the Quick Payroll Entry so that if the first hourly payline is currently turned off, they will not show up in the grid. 12/18/2000 Added support for Local Taxes on the following reports Journal Entry Labor Distribution Job Cost 12/15/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master Mail Merge where some fields were not merged correctly. ****************************************************** 12/14/2000 Version 2.0 Build 336 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 12/14/2000 Updated the install so that the 2001 tax tables included on the installation CD will update PC2000 clients with existing software installations as well as new installations. 12/14/2000 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry where the user clicks the Reactivate Employee button and cancels the message "Employee Was Activated" shows anyway (even though it was in fact cancelled and the employee was not actually activated.) 12/14/2000 Fixed a unneeded nag message when in Payroll Entry where if the user attempts to change the HSTN code (type of pay [Hourly, Salary, etc]) a message comes up saying "Invalid HSTN Code". 12/13/2000 Updated "Display Employee Information" screen from the Main Menu. Enhanced display and included additional fields. 12/13/2000 Fixed an issue where the program would not accept a payroll dated in 2001 or higher. 12/11/2000 Fixed an issue with Employee Search from the Main Program Menu. Selecting an employee to view their information would generate an error. Build 333-335 had this problem as a result of adding the SSN field. 12/09/2000 Fixed an issue with Excel Spreadsheet Payroll. There was no way to switch back to Normal in the Comp Type column. Also did not provide a way to put 0000 in for the workers comp number. 12/08/2000 Changed the Employee Master "Is Employee Subject?" tax section on the first tab to be read only. This data can now only be changed on the service bureau. The tooltip mentions this to the user. 12/08/2000 Fixed an issue with Excel Spreadsheet Payroll when the client had a lot of employees and a lot of departments the spreadsheet creation process would fail because of lack of memory in Excel. The memory usage has been optimized to correct this issue. 12/07/2000 Changed the Excel Spreadsheet Payroll so that an employee classified as "Non Employee" is not exported. 12/07/2000 Fixed an issue where Printing Reports could cause an Error 91 after the report is displayed on screen with Acrobat Reader. This occurred VERY infrequently under a special set of circumstances. 12/07/2000 Fixed an issue with Printing Employee W2. The program would freeze after generating the report. 12/06/2000 Fixed an issue with Excel Spreadsheet Payroll. If an employee had certain non-alphanumeric characters in their name an error could have occurred when writing the name to the excel spreadsheet. 12/05/2000 Added the following report to PC2000: Pension Eligibility Report 12/04/2000 Changed the Employee Master Direct Deposit Flag so that it is only accessible via running Payroll Connection 2000 with backdoor access. (CBSPAY SYSTEM from dos prompt). If the flag is currently set to YES then the flag is visible without backdoor access but if the flag is saved as NO then the flag again becomes inaccessible. I also made it so that clients that currently have access to that field will lose it. ****************************************************** 11/30/2000 Version 2.0 Build 335 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 11/30/2000 Updated the "IQ For Windows" installation with the latest Data Dictionary and included DDUPDATE.ZIP with the CD install so that existing report writer installs can update their data dictionary without losing saved reports. 11/28/2000 Changed the editing of a paycheck in pay history to no longer accept changes to the UI or WT State. 11/28/2000 Fixed an issue with Payroll Entry where a user would override direct deposit on a paycheck but after it was transmitted to the service bureau the flags revert back to calculated. The new options allow for each direct deposit line on a paycheck to be Calculated or None. 11/27/2000 Enhanced Payroll Entry by increasing the speed in cell movement and cell data entry. Definitely more obvious on slower systems. 11/22/2000 Added an alternate Modem Transmission option to the program. The switch can be accessed from the Main Menu, Supervisor, System Utilities Menu, System Configuration. This option utilizes the Modem Comm package that was developed for the 16 bit version of Payroll Connection. This should provide a viable workaround for those users having difficulty with the internal modem transmission software. 11/22/2000 Fixed an issue with Payroll Data import that was introduced with Build 333. Data was not correctly imported. Figures were generally off by 2 decimal points. ****************************************************** 11/17/2000 Version 2.0 Build 334 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 11/16/2000 Added an option when processing a Permission/Tax Disk. The option allows the user to specify an alternate file location other than a floppy diskette. 11/16/2000 Fixed an issue with Payroll Entry when the user is entering overtime hours that they wish to override the multiplier on. If the user enters the hours and did not yet hit enter and overrides the multiplier and issues the check, the entered hours are not saved though the gross pay itself did. 11/16/2000 Added an option in Modem Communications to allow the user to select the file transfer protocol that will be used to send and receive files. The program will default to Zmodem. Ymodem is the other option and should help those with file transmitting problems to get their files to us. Ymodem file transfer is slower but seems to have less problems. 11/15/2000 Corrected a few tooltips (mouse over and info pops up) 11/14/2000 Fixed an issue when restoring an existing company. This error only occurred with Build 333 and DLL version 2000.58. An Error 173 on file "PREMPX" caused the program to stop running. 11/14/2000 Fixed a problem with the Labor Distribution Custom Labor report not showing information from employee custom screen fields. 11/14/2000 Added an option in Payroll Entry Special Configuration to allow the user to specify whether or not during payroll entry the job number is copied from the first payline when entering a new payline. By default this set to Yes. Some companies heavy into job costing requested this option. 11/13/2000 Enhanced Payroll Entry with behind the scenes speed optimizations. Probably hard to tell with a fast computer but easier to see on a Pentium 233. 11/11/2000 Updated Communications Configuration Menu to maintain consistency in the program. 11/11/2000 Fixed a message on the Payroll Entry OT Multiplier override screen (accessed by double clicking OT field or pressing F9 [PC2000 keyboard popup trigger]) that said it was necessary to enter the OT hours prior to changing the multiplier. This is not necessary. 11/11/2000 Fixed a small problem with the check generation sequence in the Quick Payroll Entry. The progress bar and information box were hard to see over the grid as data is being processed. 11/10/2000 Added the following reports to PC2000: Employee Email Address Report Employee Timeclock Report 11/10/2000 Enhanced following reports to include sorting options: Employee Blank SSN Report Employee Next Review Date. 11/10/2000 Enhanced Advanced Security so that there is an option that can be set so newly entered employees can be accessed by other users that have access to the same company, location and department. The switch can be accessed from the Main Menu, Supervisor, System Utilities Menu, System Configuration. ****************************************************** 11/10/2000 Version 2.0 Build 333 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 11/08/2000 Enhanced the Pay Data Import screen to give the screen the same look and feel of the rest of the program in the interest of consistency. 11/08/2000 Enhanced the Job Cost report to have the same printing flexibility as the Labor Distribution with regards to all of the report flavors and settings. 11/07/2000 Fixed an issue with the Communications Menu screen. The dialing Prefix, Number and Suffix fields exhibited a problem where after leaving the field and returning the field would "select" the field contents but would include spaces that should have been trimmed. For example on the Prefix field, if a user entered 817, left the field and came back to it, the number would not have been visible until the user did one of the following actions: Delete all of the spaces, hit the home key, or hit the left arrow until all the spaces were bypassed. 11/07/2000 Enhanced Payroll Entry to include a direct deposit indicator. If direct deposit is not enabled for the company N/A will show in the box. Otherwise the box will say "Is Active" or "Not Active" depending upon whether or not the employee is configured for direct deposit and whether or not it's been overridden in the paycheck itself. 11/07/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry where Monthly Goal paylines were not being processed correctly. 11/07/2000 Enhanced Payroll Entry to include 2 new fields. The employee birth date and hire date are now visible with indicators which will show clearly if the birthdate or employee hire anniversary falls within the current pay period. 11/07/2000 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry where if the user was running payroll in 640x480 resolution, the 8th and 9th additional check was not visible in the lower grid. 11/06/2000 Fixed a problem with searching by employee number on the "Employee Search" from the main program menu. 11/06/2000 Enhanced the "Employee Search" from the main program menu to allow searching by SSN. 11/06/2000 Fixed a problem with searching Employee Master list by SSN. The "Find Next Match" button was not working correctly. 11/06/2000 Fixed a problem with changing a company communications flag from the "Modem/Communications Configuration Menu" when the user only has one company. Changing the flag from a transmitted (Z) state to any state that would allow company access would change the flag but the user had to exit the program and reenter the program to transmit again. 11/06/2000 Enhanced the program so that there is another payroll entry method. This method is designed for entering hours for hourly employees. An hourly employee is defined by this feature as an active employee that has an hourly payline with a rate as the first entry in his/her pay defaults. This is accessible from the "Payroll Dates and Processing Options" screen. 11/01/2000 Enhanced the program with modem transmission and internet transmission so that the "Script File Not Found" error should no longer manifest itself when attempting to transmit or receive. 10/31/2000 Removed the internal Adobe report preview screen in favor of the external Adobe Reader Window. This will allow the program to no longer depend upon PDF.OCX and any installed version of Acrobat Reader should display reports. When the viewer was part of the PC2000 program itself, the ACRORD32.EXE program did not properly unload itself from memory even after PC2000 had ended it's session. This will also prevent an issue that occurs when Adobe has just been installed and immediately goes to PC2000 to run a report. The "Accept Adobe License" screen did not appear and caused PC2000 to appear frozen. This message will now appear as expected with no problems. 10/31/2000 Enhanced the program so that a flag is available in Payroll Entry Special Configuration (Main Menu, Supervisor, System Utilities) that allows the user to hide accruals on the stub for vouchers printed in Payroll Entry. The flag does nothing if the company is already globally set to hide accruals on the stub. 10/31/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master Accrual Setup screen where the Vacation Limit and Sick Limit fields were experiencing a rounding problem. The problem could be reproduced by entering 10.70 in the field and saving. This has been corrected. 10/29/2000 Enhanced the program so that the 2 following files are longer program dependencies. MHRINP32.OCX and MHMIMP32.OCX. After a long investigation it turns out that Soloman Accounting deploys version 5.0 of these files. We deploy version 6.5 which unfortunately was not backward compatible. This made it appear that installing our software "broke" this other application. The true problem was a lack of backward compatibility with a 3rd party product both software programs were depending on. 10/29/2000 Fixed a problem in Employee Master wage effective date processing. A change with a payline's effective date information did not trigger a message when leaving the employee master when the user had not yet saved. 10/28/2000 Fixed a problem in Payroll Entry where the user is currently viewing a saved check and jumps to the employee master and then saves. The employee name is placed in the incorrect cell on the lower grid. 10/26/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Search from the Main Menu. There was a potential a non-fatal Error 380. The message was a nag and did not affect the output. 10/26/2000 Enhanced the program so that the Microsoft Scripting Runtime .DLL (SCRRUN.DLL) is no longer required by the program to handle file I/O. This should eliminate the major reason users receive Error 429. ****************************************************** 10/25/2000 Version 2.0 Build 332 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 10/25/2000 Fixed a problem with Advanced Security and Builds 330 and 331 that could cause employee lists to be mis- displayed. Employee info would appear to be shifted to the right by an increasing number of spaces. ****************************************************** 10/24/2000 Version 2.0 Build 331 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 10/24/2000 Added the Employee Next Review Date Report to the set of standard employee reports. This was requested in issue number 2801. 10/24/2000 Adjusted tab order for the Payroll Entry drag box so fields would now tab in the correct order. 10/23/2000 Enhanced Pay Data Import so that a space in the +/- field of the spec is correctly interpreted as a +. 16 bit versions of DOS and Windows remote did not experience this issue. The previous workaround of making sure all pay data import files had signs in all salary fields with data is no longer necessary. 10/23/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Excel Spreadsheet creation parameters. Settings are designed to save data by company. The data is saved, but the next time the data is reloaded it's populated from the wrong place. This has now been corrected. 10/23/2000 Fixed a problem with the Dept/Job/Alpha sort order. The previous fix to the Dept/Job/Alpha for Build 330 originally was intended to include the Excel Spreadsheet Pay Entry feature. I fixed everything but that. This has now been corrected. ****************************************************** 10/20/2000 Version 2.0 Build 330 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 10/20/2000 Enhanced the launching of IQ Report Writer so that if the IQW_RUN.BAT has been set to read-only as directed by technical support because of the Error #2 issue a message will appear indicating the file is locked instead of a slough of error messages. 10/20/2000 Fixed an issue where Error #2 could be received when running IQ Report Writer and the data files are not located in the current directory. 10/19/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master Wage Setup screen where the Standard Hours field was experiencing a rounding problem. The problem could be reproduced by entering 10.70 in the field. This has been corrected. 10/18/2000 Enhanced keyboard only usage in Payroll Entry when using the Search Employee feature. Previously there was no way to get into the search fields without using the mouse. 10/18/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master Pay Summary where a Reversed check would not be added to the total as expected. 10/16/2000 Enhanced the Employee Messages in both the Employee Master and Payroll Entry [MSG button] so that it's clearer that global messages are seperate from Employee Messages and are not editable until they are converted. The whole process is now less confusing. 10/16/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry when an employee has been issued the maximum number of checks (10) the program will allow the user to keep entering and saving checks even though they don't actually save. 10/11/2000 Fixed a problem with Pay Data Import and Payroll Pre Process Report where if the user picks the option to Print and then cancels the print dialog, it prints anyway. 10/11/2000 Fixed a problem with Pay Data Import where if the user picks the option to Import and Print and then they select laser printer an non fatal error would occur. 10/11/2000 Fixed a problem with Pay Data Import where if a check already exists in the system for an employee and then a second check is imported, after processing that second check was not included in the payroll run. This has been corrected. 10/10/2000 Fixed a problem with the Dept/Job/Alpha sort order. In all of the places in the program where you can sort by Dept/Job/Alpha (except for reports) it was not sorting correctly. This has been corrected. 10/10/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry when a user updates a voucher. After updating a voucher after editing, if the user were to scroll through the employees the black entry box does not show up until you click into the grid on an employee. This has now been corrected. 10/10/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry when a user keys in a voucher. When the program goes to the next employee it does not automatically show the black entry box. This has now been corrected. ****************************************************** 10/04/2000 Version 2.0 Build 329 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 10/03/2000 Added an enhancement to Access Database Export where the user has a little more flexiblity about what is exported. 10/02/2000 Added an enhancement to Payroll Entry where editing taxes on a check and overriding every field will now calculate Net Pay and Net Check. 10/02/2000 Fixed a problem with advanced security where if the user has more than one company, paytype security restrictions for one company would incorrectly apply to subsequent companies loaded that session even if the user had access to the paytypes in the other company. 10/02/2000 Fixed a problem with the excel payroll spreadsheet. If a company set up employees with a certain paytype and then later that paytype is changed to be a calculated paytype, the information exported to the spreadsheet does contain a calculated flag to let the program know how to act once the sheet is imported. Normal payroll entry did not have this problem. 10/02/2000 When receiving files via an internet transmission, a message "Stand By. Posting Transactions...." has been added to explain to the user what is happening at that point rather than the computer be mistaken for frozen. 10/02/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry where editing taxes on a check had an option to "Add" to the following taxes which is not a supported option. OASDI, MED, EIC. "Add" had been removed from these fields. 10/02/2000 Corrected an issue on the server side of the internet transmission function to allow for more than 1 file to be received in one session. Problem was not in the Payroll Connection 2000 though. 09/24/2000 Added an enhancement to enable the user to print individual paychecks from the pay history or the employee master view paychecks screen. 09/22/2000 Fixed a problem with reprinting last period paychecks. Checks were being printed as vouchers. 09/22/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry where EIC subtracts on a check instead of adding if the check is calced and printed as a voucher on the client site. 09/20/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry when a user clicks to pay a terminated employee. The terminated employee is added to the list of payable employees but their SSN was omitted from the list. 09/20/2000 Enhanced Payroll Entry so that when a check or voucher is clicked, an "Edit This Check" or "Edit This Voucher" button is displayed to the right. This is because previously it was not intuitive enough for the user to know how to begin the editing of an existing check. 09/20/2000 Enhanced Payroll Entry so that a check that has been entered can be changed into a voucher. This is good if the user wants to keep calculating taxes on a check in order to get an desired net pay amount. Then once the check is the way they want it, they can load the check, click into it to edit it, and then click the Update As Voucher button. An uncalculated voucher can also be changed back to a check via editing and saving as a check. 09/20/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master General Info tab where if the First Name field is not entered and the user attempted to save, the resulting message told the user to enter a Last Name before saving. 09/20/2000 Fixed a problem on the payroll entry screen where a certain set of keystrokes after clicking the lower grid would cause an infinite loop. 09/13/2000 Changed the description on the Internet Update Config screen for the SSL option. Previously it indicated that port 438 was used. Now it says 443 which is the correct port. This was just a display issue. 09/08/2000 Adjusted tab order for the W2 Report screen so that hitting tab from the first range of employees box would take the user to the next field. ****************************************************** 09/07/2000 Version 2.0 Build 328 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326+ ****************************************************** 08/27/2000 Fixed a problem with importing an excel payroll spreadsheet if the user is not logged on as supervisor and the remote site is configured to use standard security scheme. All of the imported employees were excluded with a message indicating that the user did not have access to those employees even if the current user had supervisor equivalence. 08/27/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master General Info tab where clearing a termination date didn't inform the top of the employee master to change from black with the designation to normal. Manually clearing or entering a term date must be committed with an F10 before exiting or else the employee will not be reactivated/terminated. Using the "Term Employee" and "Reactivate Employee" buttons make the changes immediately without having to save. 08/27/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry when the user has entered more than 8 paylines and the grid has scrolled down. If the user is currently on a gross pay field and arrows up to get back to the first line and at the top of the grid is a blue box, pressing up would navigate the box off the grid. 08/27/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry when the user is on the first payline and either navigates to the paytype field by arrows or clicks the paytype field and then presses ESC to abort changing the line a "save check" dialog would appear instead of just letting the user continue data entry. 08/27/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry when the employee has more than 8 paylines in their defaults and the user hits enter to proceed through the logical progression of the fields, once the entry box gets back to the top, the position of the field is off of the grid. 08/27/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry when the company has at least 1 memo entry field. If at least 1 memo field exists there was a problem that manifested itself if the current field has a value and is the last gross payline on the grid and the user clicks another entry field on the grid. The value is copied to the new field and processed as if it had been entered. 08/26/2000 Added an enhancement to the Employee Master so when default pay changes are detected a "Update Pay Change Date?" dialog is presented to the user upon saving. 08/26/2000 Fixed a problem in the Employee Master Wage Setup tab where clicking any of the payline buttons (insert, sort, etc) was not triggering that a change occured. That means if the user sorted the paylines and then exited before saving, no message prompting them to save would have appeared. Some paygrid field changes were also not triggering this message. 08/26/2000 Fixed a problem with Payroll Entry where if an employee had a percentage of net payline item in their defaults, a voucher is calculated and the user prints a check, the net amount would not show up on the check. If the paycheck was entered and simply transmitted to the branch, the paycheck was properly calculated. On-site vouchers were the only issue. 08/25/2000 Fixed a problem with the Excel report export where it was possible under a certain circumstance for the last line of the report to be excluded from the worksheet. 08/25/2000 Fixed a problem with the Journal Entry report. The option to select a period to print was not updating the client record with the change. The report would print for whatever flag was originally in the client record. 08/24/2000 Fixed a problem with calculating taxes on a check when the employee worked in more than one state. SDI on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th state were not being calculated properly. Once the checks were processed at the branch, they were calculated correctly. 08/24/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master General Tab where if the user clicked certain fields that were blank and then clicked away, a value would get arbitrarily loaded (usually the last item in the listbox of available options for that field). 08/24/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Master General Tab where if the current field was on the termination date of a terminated employee and the user clicked the Reactivate Employee button, the employee would become active but the termination date didn't disappear which caused the employee to become inactive again no matter what the user did next. 08/24/2000 Fixed a problem with the Excel report export where if an error occurred and the .XLS file was not actually generated, the program would still display a success message and ask if the user wanted to display the file. 08/24/2000 Added the following reports to the "Create .XLS" report print option. Workers Comp Report Journal Entry Report Tips Deemed Wages Report Deduction Shortfall Report Department Summary Earnings Report Department Detailed Earnings Report Employee Default Pay Information Report (possibly) 08/24/2000 Fixed an issue with the Wages Summary Report (Benefits Version) where converting it to Excel would result in an error 1004. 08/24/2000 Fixed an issue with the Access Export. Departments below number 32 were not being included in the database. 08/24/2000 Fixed an issue where the client is attempting to restore a company (.CBU) file that is within a .ZIP file and the .ZIP file has CRC errors. Previously a cryptic "Error 110" message would appear. This error message has been updated. Also temporary files would fail to delete. ****************************************************** 08/16/2000 Version 2.0 Build 327 Update Made Available For BBS And Internet Software Update. Must Update From 326. ****************************************************** 08/15/2000 Fixed an issue where exporting a report with payline items containing any of the following characters ":\/?*[]" (quote not included) the report could return an error 1004 during report conversion. 08/15/2000 Fixed an issue where calculating a direct deposit check in payroll entry did not show the direct deposit amounts and subtract from the net check value. 08/14/2000 Corrected a problem where some clients would get a "NO PAYCHECK FILE CREATED" message when printing last period checks. 08/09/2000 Adjusted the payroll entry screen so that blank workers comp numbers show a blank field like the job number does instead of a "0". This change is for consistency in field display. 08/09/2000 Fixed an issue with payroll entry where the user has workers comp numbers with 5 digits. If the user double clicked the field for a pop up list and selected a 5 digit field, the last digit was truncated from the entry. However the user could manually type in the 5 digit number without any issues. 08/09/2000 Fixed an issue with payroll entry where the user could not clear the workers comp or job number field. The field would accept 0 (or the user could double click the field and accept the first entry), however when the check was issued the original values remained. However the user could replace one code with another. 08/09/2000 Enhanced the Accrual Report to include an option to specify which reports to print. 08/08/2000 Adjusted the program to access the Microsoft Scripting Runtime DLL (SCRRUN.DLL) via a more indirect method which is FAR less likely to generate an Error 429 or a "Expected Interface Not Found" error. 08/08/2000 Adjusted the payroll entry screen so that when default pay loads into the grid, hourly paylines without rates or hours initially extend to "0.00" instead of blanks. This is just a simple visual change. 08/08/2000 Fixed the tab key in the payroll entry screen so that instead of doing nothing at all, it navigates the screen just like hitting Enter. Added an option to the system configuration menu to disable this feature in case unanticipated issues arise from this change. 08/07/2000 Adjusted the employee master direct deposit tab so that there is an easier way to delete employee direct deposit data. As with all remote direct deposit changes, the site would have to be set correctly on the service bureau for the deletion to be accepted. 08/07/2000 Fixed a problem with configuring the import of a pre-populated payroll .XLS sheet. Under Windows 2000 the user was not able to replace or remove items from the "Exclude From Import" area. 08/06/2000 Fixed the tab key in the employee master so that instead of doing nothing at all, it navigates the current tab just like hitting Enter or the down arrow does. 08/06/2000 Fixed a potential floating point miscalculation with the payroll totals when the numbers are much higher than a typical payroll. 08/05/2000 Fixed a problem with the employee master wage setup tab where subsequent visits to the tab would not show the input box automatically. The user would have had to click into the grid to get it back. 08/05/2000 Fixed a problem with the employee master wage setup tab where if the input box is on certain fields and "Clear Entire Grid" is clicked an unnecessary validation message would appear indicating allowed values for that field. 08/05/2000 Fixed a problem with the employee master where the direct deposit tab (if set to editable) would not automatically set the focus to the input box until the user moved the mouse. 08/04/2000 Adjusted the "Taxable Pay" and "Total (Sum)" fields on the payroll entry screen to properly display data when the total is over 999,999.99. 08/04/2000 Fixed a rounding issue on the payroll entry screen. The problem field was the "Total (Sum)" field. Since field was just a display field, there was not a problem with the actual paycheck data. 08/03/2000 Enhanced the custom screens so that fields will resize according to their assigned field size. 08/03/2000 Fixed a problem with the Employee Audit Trail report where sometimes an Error 6 - Overflow in Get_Client_ 2441_Flags would be generated. 08/03/2000 Fixed a problem with the Excel Reports. Numeric data would export but would not allow excel to perform functions on it such as SUM. This now has been corrected. 07/31/2000 Enhanced the "List Of Archived Payroll Dates" screen. Previously the program would load the dates every time it was loaded. Now it will load the screen once per session which makes subsequent accesses to the screen extremely fast. ****************************************************** 07/30/2000 Version 2.0 Build 326 Update Made Available Via CD Update. ****************************************************** 07/28/2000 Created a transmission backup routine. Transmitted .IN files are archived to the BACKUP directory. A file in that directory called SEND.LOG will contain a log of transmission time, the file transmitted and the filename it was archived under. For example: On 7/28/00 2:01:23 PM Archiving File: C:\CBSPAY32\TRANSLOG\10000004.IN Archive Name: C:\CBSPAY32\BACKUP\A_072800.IN Multiple files transmitted on the current date will have the same date in the filename but the first letter will increment. Files transmitted on subsequent dates will start back at A. 07/28/2000 Enhanced the dialog during the access database export to show progress on the progress bar. Previously no progress was shown. 07/28/2000 Fixed a problem where sometimes creating an access database would result in an Error 429. 07/27/2000 Updated CD distribution to include the following extra files. Replaced IE5.0 with IE5.5 Replaced Adobe 4.05 Update 1 with 4.05 Update 2 Added MDAC_TYP.EXE - Microsoft Data Access 2.5 Added NT4.0 Service Pack 6a Added Windows 95 Service Pack 1 Added Windows 95 OSR2 to OSR2.1 Update 07/27/2000 Added a printer selection option to the print audit trail in the employee master. Previously it would automatically go to screen in adobe. 07/27/2000 Changed the screen print in the Employee Pay summary from a screen capture to a nice report. 07/27/2000 Fixed a problem with editing paychecks. Previously the user could not edit the paycheck memo fields. This has now been implemented. 07/26/2000 Fixed a problem with editing paychecks. If the user double clicks the first comp type on the first payline before doing anything else, the pop up box would not appear. 07/26/2000 In the interest of consistency, the employee view paychecks screen has been reprogrammed to visually match the pay history view paycheck screen. The functionality is the same. 07/26/2000 Fixed a problem with reversing paychecks. If no current paycheck file existed the normal screen would come up to enter the dates but the available command said "Continue Import" instead of "Continue Reversal". It worked anyway. The only problem is that the text was incorrect. 07/26/2000 Fixed a problem saving while editing previous check from within the employee master if the client is multiple locations. Error 438 would occur previously. 07/26/2000 Reprogrammed the report that prints from the printer icon in the Employee Master View Prior Paychecks. 07/25/2000 Goal status report enhanced to ask for a month in addition to year for monthly goals. 07/25/2000 Fixed a problem with restoring a client backup file. The program would previously not accept a filename greater than 35 characters. This is no longer a problem since the restore program copies the file to the program directory before it restores anyway and the program directory itself is never that long. 07/25/2000 Employee field level import would accept a file with the wrong client number in the file. The bug is that the program would appear to process the file but it in fact did not. 07/25/2000 Employee field level import was not displaying the proper message if ran on a company where the default employee was not set up. This has been fixed. 07/25/2000 Employee field level import was not deleting the temporary file it created during each import. 07/24/2000 Enhanced the feature where during payroll entry, hours entered on a payline item with an accrual attached to it that exceeded the balance would not trigger a message with the new accrual fields if feature was enabled from payroll entry special configuration. 07/24/2000 Fixed a problem where if importing an Excel spreadsheet and the company was importing Empl# 30129 a "Stop Statement Encountered" message would appear. 07/24/2000 Fixed a problem with direct deposit prenotes coming from the PC2000 system. This issue has been corrected. 07/21/2000 Fixed a problem with printing a sample paycheck from the paycheck offset configuration screen. Printing to a laser printer option was failing although the print to screen was working correctly. 07/21/2000 Changed the default backup directory from C:\CBSPAY to C:\CBSPAY32 This is for new installs only. 07/21/2000 Fixed a problem on the Main Menu where under the HELP menu there was an option called Run Excel Report which if ran would cause a non-fatal error. This was there for testing a new feature and was not removed prior to release. 07/20/2000 Fixed a problem in the employee master wage setup tab where if a user arrowed down to an unused line they could not arrow back up. (The fact you can't navigate anywhere but up at that point is the intent) 07/19/2000 Fixed a problem where new accrual fields were not initializing properly on existing employees. This resulted in amounts like $53897.6288 and $21053.76 to show up in the fields when new accruals are created when employees already exist in the system. 07/18/2000 Fixed a problem where the internet transmission URL was getting deleted upon receiving an .OUT file after receiving data via Internet or Modem. 07/18/2000 Added a "Create .XLS" option for the following reports: (More to be added as they are programmed) Issued Check Report Accrual Report Wages Summary Report Wages Summary Report (Benefits Version) Pay Summary Report (Condensed Version) Direct Deposit Report Direct Deposit Status Report Goal Status Report 07/18/2000 Added the remainder of the employee master fields to the Access database export. (Issue #2536) The export now includes ALL EE fields except for custom screen data. 07/17/2000 Fixed a problem (Issue #2539) with accessing employee master from within payroll entry.
