5.32 beta 4 posted

Almost as soon as I posted beta 3, I got a call and some emails reporting some bugs whenever you leave the "touches" screen. Fixed in beta 4.

Also, I rewrote the routine that calculates the dates when generating the new giftdetail file. The old one made all dates some day in January ... oops. I was thinking "british" style dates when I wrote that routine, and the program (internally) wants american format dates.

Beta 4 fixes this, also.

To get the program to re-generate the giving detail with correct dates, do this:

1. download and install beta 4

2. quit the donor manager, and then go in (using Windows Explorer or My Computer) delete the files giftdetail.dbf, giftdetail.cdx, and giftdetail.fpt (in c:\donor5\data ... or wherever you are keeping your data files).

3. then, restart the DM, and it will re-generate the giving history files.

Note: please consider these giving detail file experimental at this point. Don't spent a lot of time customizing the information until we get this a bit more stable.

Thanks!
