                         DACEASY PAYROLL VERSION 5
                         ===========================
 
Thank you for your purchase of DacEasy Payroll. This file contains
updated documentation for last-minute changes to Version 5 that
don't appear in your User's Guide.

DACACCESS QUERY AND PUBLISHER
===============================================================================

Report Generator reports
------------------------
All reports you have in the Report Generator will convert to a Query and 
Publisher report the first time you enter the Query or Publisher from the 
DacAccess menu if converting from Version 4.4. If converting from Version
4.3 then it will be necessary to repaste some of the fields into the report
to correct any differences between the file structure of 4.3 to 4.4.

Btrieve 4 Converting Report Generator Reports
---------------------------------------------
Btrieve 4 may occur during the conversion process for old Report Generator
reports if you are converting from 4.3 or if you have converted from 4.3 to
4.4 and did not access each report through the Report Generator and repaste 
any fields that were different from 4.3 to 4.4. If this error occurs, 
simply access DacAccess-Query, select the report from lookup and repaste 
each field into the report.

DacAccess Query
---------------
The following is a logical operator to be added to the table on page 218 in
the User's Guide.

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

        BETWEEN x AND y

Use AND between the two values. 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 as described on page 232, there is 
a list of numeric and percentage formats on the same 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 on page 288, in the User's Guide.

    
Using new State Specific Liab/Ded Codes
---------------------------------------
If you are converting or setting up as a new user and wish to utilize
the new State Specific Liab/Ded Codes (ie; New Jersey HealthCare/
Workforce) you must first assign an account no to each code you
wish to utilize through Edit Department. In addition you must access
each state table (as is applicable) through Edit State, press Shift F3, 
verify the default values and then press F10 to process and save any
changes.

Resetting File Attributes
-------------------------
The F3 Reset File Attributes feature documented for the Backup Routine
is not available on the Single User Version of DacEasy Payroll. It is 
only available on the Network Version. 

Interfacing with DacEasy Accounting
-----------------------------------
If you're interfacing with DacEasy Accounting, you must have Version 5 
of Accounting. Be sure to install and convert DacEasy Accounting before 
installing and converting Payroll.

Printing Laser W2's
--------------------
In order for Laser W2's to align properly, the laser printer must be set 
to print 60 lines per page and it should be able to emulate an HP Printer.

We have provided the ability to print an alignment for Laser W2's so 
that you can ensure the printer is setup properly prior to starting the 
print process. If you print the alignment and it is not aligned properly,
then adjust the printer and try the alignment again.

Wage Limits on a Reversal Payroll
---------------------------------
If you're calculating a reversal payroll for employees who've reached
their wage limits for FUTA, SUI, SDI, or Soc. Sec., you must edit the 
employee file for those employees and manually decrease the appropriate 
Taxable Wages fields.

   If you need to reverse a payroll for an employee who has reached
   or exceeded her Soc. Sec. wage limit, for example, you should
   edit her employee file and reduce the Soc. Sec. Taxable Wages
   accumulator by the amount of the last payroll.
                                                 
You only need to change those calculations that have a limit and have
been exceeded and only if the employee reached the limit on the payroll
being reversed.
  
Extended Memory and Btrieve
---------------------------
You may load Btrieve into extended memory by removing the /E parameter
in the DEP.BAT file which is located in your program directory. If
you are using the default, then it would be in the directory \DEP4.

This will leave more conventional memory available for DacEasy Payroll
to utilize.

     
Restoring a 4.3/4.4 Backup
--------------------------
If you restore a 4.3/4.4 backup into a directory where 5.0 data file currently 
exists, then you will not be able to convert the data unless you first delete 
the 5.0 data files through DOS. If you wish to re-convert 4.3/4.4 data then
restore the data into a new directory, add this company through the Open 
Menu and then the first time the company is opened, the program will 
automatically convert this data.

Georgia Tax Change
-------------------
The 5.0 Version contains the state tax change for Georgia effective 07-01-94.
If you are converting from a prior version please verify that the state
allowances field contains only the amount of dependent allowances.
