Thank your for your purchase of DacEasy Order Entry Version 5. This file 
contains documentation for last-minute changes to DacEasy Order Entry 
that don't appear in your User's Guide.

INTERFACING WITH DACEASY ACCOUNTING
===============================================================================
You must upgrade to DacEasy Accounting Version 5 in order to interface
Order Entry with Accounting. Install and convert your DacEasy Accounting 
before installing and converting DacEasy Order Entry.

FILE UTILITIES
================================================================================
It is HIGHLY recommended that RECOVER be run on the following files:

Chart of Accounts (1), AR Open Invoices (2) and Products (12). 

The reason for running recover on these files is to correct the positioning of 
the records.

GENERAL
================================================================================
Command line parameters:

        /BTSR - allows Btrieve to remain in memory after exiting DacEasy.

An example is: DEOE /BTSR at the C:\DEOE prompt.


EDIT FORMS SETUP
================================================================================
When designing forms, you can use extended ASCII characters. If you're unable to
produce extended ASCII characters on your form, add the following line to your 
CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS (substituting your DOS path if different
than C:\DOS).

For a list of extended ASCII characters, consult your DOS manual.

In order for your printer to print these characters, the printer must be in 
graphics or line printer mode.

Forms Printing
==========================================================================

If you encounter paging problems, check the End-of-File marker at the
bottom of the form. This End-of File marker looks like an arrow (->) and
should be on line 67 of all 11-inch forms and line number 43 for all
7-inch forms. In certain instances, the EOF marker can be moved up to
line 58 or 60 to correct paging problems on some laser printers.

NETWORKING
===============================================================================
When networking, you must have the DOS command SHARE loaded in your 
Autoexec.bat file with the following parameters:

        SHARE /F:4096 /L:250 
        
You must load SHARE in order for your files to lock properly when making a 
backup, running utilities and posting.

ONLINE PAYMENT PROCESSING
================================================================================
You must interface with a payment processing software, such as Atomic Software, 
to verify credit cards, debit cards and checks online. 

If you're using online payment processing, a payment processing screen displays
when you press F10 to save an order that has an online method of payment. The  
screen that displays depends on whether the payment is a credit card or a check.
If it's a check, the screen varies depending on the check verification type.

Online Credit Card Verification
-------------------------------

Fill in the following fields:

Credit Card Number
Expiration Date
Card Holder Name
Amount

If you use a credit card swiper, a screen displays prompting you to swipe the 
card through the reader. Once the card has been read, DacEasy fills in the above 
fields and displays them for verification. Press F10 to save the information. 

Online Check Approval
---------------------

Fill in the following fields for the Driver's license check verification type:

Driver's License
State ID
Check Number
Customer Name
Amount

Fill in the following fields for the Driver's license and birthday check 
verification type:

Driver's License
Birthday
State ID
Check Number
Customer Name
Amount

Fill in the following fields for the MICR check verification type:

MICR Number
Check Number
Customer Name
Amount

You must be sure to select the same check verification type in both DacEasy
and in your payment processing software. For example, if you want to verify by
driver's license, you must select Driver's License on the Method of Payment 
screen and as the verification type in Atomic Software (or your payment 
processing software).

PHONE DIALER
================================================================================
If you have problems with the phone dialer, enter the following command at the                                                               
DOS (C:\DOS) prompt (underscores indicate spaces):

        Echo_ATDT phone number_>COMn
       
For example, if you're trying to dial 214-555-5432 on COM2, enter the following 
command:

        Echo ATDT2145555432 >COM2 

This dials the phone number for you if your modem is connected to the com 
port specified. This tests your modem connection.

DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
===============================================================================

DacAccess Query
---------------
The following is a change in the way you use the BETWEEN logical operator found
in the table on page 299 of the User's Guide.

You should use the logical operator BETWEEN in the following manner:

        BETWEEN x AND y

Use AND between the two fields. The BETWEEN operator includes the selected 
limits. For example, BETWEEN 1 AND 10 includes the values 1 and 10 in the query.

DacAccess Publisher
-------------------
If you need to format numbers or percentages for a field, highlight the field 
and press Enter to display the Field Edit screen. When you enter though the 
Field Format field, there is a list of both numeric and percentage formats on 
the format screen. Select either a numeric format or a percentage format.

There are sample DacAccess reports in the sample data files if you want to 
see some examples of custom reports. To view the sample data, follow the 
instructions in Chapter 11, File Maintenance, of the User's Guide.
