Post by: George Systems on November 01, 2008, 08:54:22 pm
Hi Guys

There were a few problems with some of the earlier versions - especially with prepayments and part payments. You need a copy of the Debt List to see what the numbers should be.

I don't understand the missing clCash file error - lots of you have upgraded successfully - contact me direct to sort it out.

If you have a fatal memory alert on the Palm it's a Palm problem but maybe the PocketGeorge upgrade wasn't done properly - again, contact me direct.

Thank you to all the users who have contacted me and are happy with the new version. This is the first of a number of upgrades which will include the most requested new features...


Paul

FAO: Paul

Downloaded new version of George. Tried to open it and it said I needed to download pocket George. Downloaded Pocket George but don't have a PDA so can't open George now because a couple files missing on pocket George.

How do I get around it?

Same here my debt list has an extra £1000 added to it, dating back to 2004, I did email Paul with my last back so I'm hoping he'll be able to sort it for me.

The new version does look good though I like some of the new features already.

Gordon.

Post by: Clive McDonald on November 03, 2008, 08:00:02 pm
Why cant you just put the last good version from your memory stick in?

Want to upgrade, but you've scared me a bit.

I will try on a different computer first.

to be fair I think it's like anything that gets a big upgrade there will always be the odd crease that needs ironing out so i'm sure it will be fine.

I upgraded and my debt list now date's back to 2004 >:(
I understand that the new features will be useful.
BUT IT REALLY BE WORTH THE TIME I HAVE TO SPEND CORRECTING 4 YEARS WORTH OF DEBTS????????????

I say bring back the last version!!! At least it was reliable.
Title: Re: George new ver 3.69x1
Post by: George Systems on November 03, 2008, 09:40:41 pm
Hi Guys

Old versions of George didn't record payments received - that's why you have those old debts.

I will write a fix program tomorrow to sort them out.

Hi Guys

You need the old Debt List to check the new one is correct.

There are some issues in the upgrade caused by shortcomings in early versions of George.

It shouldn't be a problem for recent users but some of you guys have been using it for years..

Paul
Title: Re: George new ver 3.69x1
Post by: dmlservices on November 04, 2008, 02:32:42 pm
i have a few debts where it shows less owing than they actually do , have gone to ammend but george wont let me .

eg, i have 1 job owes 2 cleans,

debts page shows they owe 4.50, yet they infact owe 2 @ 4.00 = 8.00 ( small job 2 upstairs windows next to another custy)

have gone to history on this job,it shows i clean ( 4.00) but shows 3.50. recieved, the other entry is fine.

tried to ammend  the 3.50 recieved to nil , but will not let me do this,

how can i correct enties like this?

hi
i didn't realise it had been extended.. as before you couldn't even put a reciept number in it..I have just seen it now and is allot better..it's just on a personal note i would like it longer if it was easy thing for you to do especially in the description part..although not long enough to write a book lol..

thanks

paul

Title: Re: George new ver 3.69x1
Post by: George Systems on November 04, 2008, 04:21:41 pm
Hi Paul

It's not easy to change but there's a 40 character description and a 25 character reference.

You can't write a book - but a short poem maybe...

hi paul
on the work done tab it shows  value 4.00, payment 3.50, bal. .50p

when i switch to payment tab there is no record of the  3.50 being recieved, so i can not ammend there.

It's not that simple - you can Invoice in advance but you might not want to. There's no easy way to tell what you want included on the invoice.

In general I think the upgrades are going to be quite handy.

Hi Philip

It's not a nightmare - it just needs a little bit of attention to get the debts right - but it will be worth it in the long run. There's a fix program here to make it easier: www.plsanders.co.uk/Fix369X1.exe

Just scan through your old debt list and punch in the balances if they are different.

Sorry for the short term pain but there are a number of important new features in the pipeline and they need this new structure.

hi
i updated and at first was unimpressed with the  appearence of old debts, and pre payments appearing, however since running the fix program ,and sorting through prepayments,i can now see that there is a lot of work that has gone into it , for me the best thing is, now pocket george handles pre payments better, the payment part  of it is great,as now you have multiple payment methods, and it marks of any debts in one go ( you had to go to debts page to mark of before)i can also now give a ref. no . so well done paul.
