Contracts - Find By Student

It is possible when trying to find a contract by entering a student id that you will see a result of "Contract In Progress" but no contract number. Double-clicking on this entry produces an error.

This is a bug in the program caused by purging contracts. The bug has been fixed but this situation may still be out there. Running the File > Utility > Verify Data routine will get rid of the bogus entries.

Contracts - Renewal Options

From the contract form you can print a renewal report that shows the student several different options for purchasing the contract. The report showed 24 month and 36 month time periods by default and you could not change that.

Those months can now be changed on the File > Open > System Setup > Contracts > Defaults form.

Contracts - Voiding and Late Payments

When voiding a contract with late payments, it is possible that the late payments would not be deleted. The student would continue to receive an invoice for these late payments. The bug causing this problem has been corrected. Running the File > Utility > Verify Data routine will remove any outstanding late payments on voided contracts.

Contracts - Voiding and Student Info

When a contract is voided, any students on the contract are marked as expired and their expiration date is set to today by default.

There is a new option in File > Open > System Setup > Contracts > Defaults called "Void Expires Students". If this option is not checked, you will be asked when voiding a student if the student should be marked as expired. If you answer No, no changes to the student record are made.

Infocall Form

Added a new "Word" button that creates a Word merge letter directly from the infocall form. The student has to be saved for this button to be active.

Startup

When starting MasterVision and the data directory is not found (the network is down for example), MasterVision would get lost. Cleaned up the program so that it can handle this problem gracefully.

Student Form

Added a new "Word" button that creates a Word merge letter directly from the student form. The student has to be saved for this button to be active.

Student Form - lWarning Error

Some users are getting an "lWarning Not Found" occasionally when opening a student. Added bullet-proofing to the code to fix this.

3.60.22 - 10/27/98

Contracts - Allow Back Dating

In File, Open, System Setup, Contracts, Defaults is a checkbox called "Allow Contract Date Change". If this is checked, the date field on the contract screen can be changed by the user to whatever date is desired. When the contract is made official, this date will be used. If the date is different than today, a warning message is produced.

If this box is not checked, changes to the contract date cannot be made. The contract date will be changed to today's date when the contract is made official.

Contracts - Purging

On the menu under File/Purge, 3 new options have been added for purging contracts. You can now delete contracts in progress, voided contracts, and contracts that have been paid-off.

In all three cases, you are asked for a date to delete from. All contracts with a date on or before this date will be deleted if they are the appropriate type.

If you do purge contracts, the contract information will no longer be available for reports.

WARNING: It is highly advised that you have a backup of your data before running any of the routines.

Temporarily Inactive

If a student was made temporarily inactive twice, MasterVision had a bug that would use the older date when making the student active. This resulted in the student's expiration and renewal date being updated more than it should have.

The bug has been resolved so that the most recent date is used. The cause of the bug was also fixed so that multiple dates can no longer be created.

Who's Testing Report

Gave an option to print the phone numbers or not.

3.60.21 - 10/14/98

Classes Swatted

Added two new reports to the attendance section called Classes Swatted: Detail/Summary. Each report shows the number of classes swatted in a date range for anyone who swatted a class. The detail report shows the actual classes and dates swatted while the summary report just shows a count of classes swatted.

Invalid I/O

The 3.60.19 release had a potential error of "Invalid I/O operation" when opening some screens. Corrected the problem.

Letters

When creating a merge letter for a student with a responsible party, the phone numbers for the students were being built incorrectly. In most cases, no phone numbers were showing up. Fixed.

Exam Recording

When you record an exam result in (mass or single), the student's lessons to rank information is set to 0. If your slow in recording the results of the exam, this could be a problem.

For example, the test is Monday, the student attends on Tuesday and Thursday but the exam results aren't recorded until Friday. The student actually has two lessons for his current (new) rank but when you record the exam result, it is set to 0.

The exam result routines have been changed to look at the date of the exam. Any classes that occur after the date of the exam count as classes to rank and the counts are the student screen are set correctly.

Selector

The invalid weeks defaults to 0 - 99 weeks. The 99 weeks default would removes anyone who hasn't attended in the last year and a half. Changed the default to be 999 weeks.

The age default was 99 also which would exclude students over 100 years old. Changed default to be 999 for this as well.

Who's Testing Report

Added association ID, expiration date, phone numbers, and a blank line for notes to this report.

3.60.19 - 10/3/98

Reindex

Reindex routine could crash on the RptList file. Fixed.

Misc.
