3.1.5201 |
Minor Changes and Enhancements, and Bug Fixes Activities, Winning Bids: Clients prompted regarding refresh of display after winning bid entry in network mode felt the need to do this step that took several seconds, despite default action set to "no." Removed prompt to refresh data display when closing winning bid screen in network mode; option is still available on File Menu. Documents, Name Tags: Separate name tags were printed for couples' names when separated by "and" or "&". Now also handles "AND" or other cases. File, Recent Projects List: When updating to 3.1.5163, the Recently Used File list data was stored in the registry's "currentuser" location instead of "localmachine." Newly opened projects were not displayed for user convenience. Fixed. Reservations, Add Guest: Enabled prior to completing ticket purchase. Ticket purchase must be saved now prior to adding guests. Reservations, List of available guests: Earlier changes sped up screen display loading, but could occasionally add apparent duplicates when reopening names or updating totals for a donor. Fixed. |
3.1.5191 |
Minor Changes and Enhancements, and Bug Fixes View, Auction Total Proceeds: Pledge bids show specific bids, associated item number shows blank rather than zero. Item & bids can be viewed together by sorting on item number. File, Open Project: Name loading speed improved, by removing unnecessary check for name on guest list. Report, Reservations: Error occurred when more than one purchaser of a ticket has only company (and not last name). Error occurred when reporting two individuals with the same names, but different companies, as company was not included in unique ID. Both fixed. Activities, Assign Tables: When one or more names in a specific table are highlighted, clicking "remove all" (<<) caused a crash. Fixed. File, Import: When importing items and donor names, in certain cases an item without a donor received the prior donor's name by mistake. Fixed. |

Minor Changes and Enhancements, and Bug Fixes Documents, Bidder Invoices: Print Next 10 and Print Preview Next 10 now correctly enable & disable buttons when done, and names now display correctly when manual selection is done. Documents, Gift Certificates: Margin Ranges expanded for Portrait Style certificates, improved handling of switch from Landscape to Portrait and vice-versa. Reports, Bidder Names: Now includes name of bidders for Tickets or Payments for a guest without a bid number, when sorting report by bid number. In Development Activities, Winning Bids: Mistaken entry of five digit item number and tabbing to bidder number results in run-time error/crash. Have researched, attempted various remedies, per Microsoft KB Q242347, without success. |
3.1.5151 May 2, 2005 |
Minor Changes and Enhancements, and Bug Fixes Sequencing of Items: Release 3.1.5142 introduced a significant error into item sequencing, forcing them to sort by the order in which they were originally entered instead of the z selected sequence. Fixed. Reports, Reservations: When sorting by ticket type, some names were excluded. Fixed. File, Import: When Excel spreadsheet import data source has cells that are unreadable (invalid cross-reference), Auction! now reports a minor error, substitutes a blank for the data, and continues importing, rather than quitting due to the error. |

3.1.5142 |
Minor Changes and Enhancements, and Bug Fixes: New! File, New Project, Project Data to Transfer: Added explicit options to select invitees, retain Payment on File flag or not. Screen layout adjusted to accommodate new choices. Invitees now have additional selection of All or Attendees Only. Attendees are defined as names with a ticket purchase or number attending ˃0 (whether or not the invitee flag is checked). Retain attendance details is now independent of name type. Donor inclusion options disabled when donors are not selected. Print Preview, all Documents and Reports: Checkbox added to optionally select kerning adjustment. Not needed in most cases. Prior release had kerning adjustment “on” all the time, which caused vertical positioning problems for text, particularly in catalogs. Activities, Reservations: Guests can select a host who has not yet purchased a ticket. If host name record is deleted, host name for those guests is now cleared, rather than remaining tied to “phantom” host. Activities, Sequence Items, Automatic: Moving a group of LIVE items (category or range) sometimes went into an infinite loop, with no items actually being moved. Fixed Activities, Winning Bids: Now checks minimum bid on pledges. Activities, Winning Bids, Edit: Fixed a RT91 that occurred if you tried to edit a winning bid whose bidder no longer exists. Auctionpay, Clear Auctionpay Indicators: Cursor returns to pointer instead of remaining an hourglass when task is done. Basket Components, Item Entry: When a user opened a silent or live item, clicked Convert to Basket Container, changed their mind, cancelled, then converted item to Basket Component, the item would be classified as both Basket Component and a Container, resulting in apparent hanging of the database. This could also occur on cash items. Fixed. Basket Components, Item Entry: When basket container flag is set incorrectly (as above,) Transfer to a New Project will correct any existing items. Documents, Bidder Invoices, Invoice Format: Boldface format setting for items and payments on invoices was being ignored - fixed. Documents, Bidder Invoices: Changed Print to Print Selected. Documents, Bidder Invoices: Sales tax no longer charged on voided transactions. File, Export Transactions: Now enabled in Small Event edition. File, Export Names: When exporting donor names with items donated and total of item sale prices, value or items were shown doubled. Fixed. File, Merge Project When inbound data is corrupt, merge will now fail gracefully. File, Merge Project Invalid transactions could multiply during a merge. Fixed. File, Move Project or Restore from Backup, Create New Folder: When attempting to create a folder on a root, Auction! created the folder, but did not switch to it. Fixed File, New Project, Project Data to Transfer: Modified “Data to Transfer” screen. Invitees now have additional selection of All or Attendees Only. Attendees are defined as names with a ticket purchase, or number attending ˃0, or anyone who has a host selected. (whether or not the invitee flag is checked). Retain seating details is now part of Invitees. Donor inclusion options disabled when donors are not selected. File, New Project, Transfer Donors: Donors “with donations” was based on total donation value, rather than donated item existence, which excluded donors who’d given “priceless” items. Fixed. Print Preview: When previewing Mailing Labels or Name Tags, Item Details Report, right-click to Invoices or Donor Receipt, Bid Sheets, Name Details or Gift Certificates, in Network edition, the database was left “open” causing validation errors for others who opened the dataset at the same time. Fixed. |

3.1.5132 |
Minor Changes and Enhancements, and Bug Fixes: New! File, Settings, Event Preferences, Sales Tax: Option now available to charge sales tax on lower of donor value or purchase price, or strictly on purchase price. Documents, Bid Sheets, Category justification: When there is room for the category on the same line as the donor, it is right-justified. Otherwise it is left-justified on the next line. If the donor name wraps, and the category would fit on the second line, it still goes on the next line left justified. This is how minimum raise works with item value; the item value is rarely that long, so it only wraps on narrow bid sheets. Documents, Catalog: When catalog style name already exists in Word normal.dot template, Auction! now adds "_1" to style name to prevent conflict and MSWord 5173 error. Documents, Item Details: Runover lengthy results caused many subsequent misprinted pages. Fixed. File, Export, Item Data: When all fields selected, donor additional first name now consistently exports with other fields. Help, Check for Updates: Auction! now checks for updates as needed until reaching the current version, then checks for updates weekly. Name Entry: When users closed an item entry with the X button, then edited a name, an RT91 error occurred. Fixed. Name Entry: users could create two names that appear the same to the program, by entering one as "Company; Last Name, First Name" in the Company field, and by entering an identical "Company", "Last Name" and "First Name" into the specific fields. Caused RT457 on donor and bidder reports. Fixed by adding a blank to the subsequent key to handle this. Name Entry: Saving or deleting a name will now cause the list of potential guests in Reservations to be updated (add names if they meet the current display criteria, remove them if they are on the list) Name Entry: Occasional donor entries had Donor checkbox disabled and unchecked, and lacked "D" indicator on grid view. File, Refresh Project Database now fixes this display. Reports, Donor Names: When last name printed has a donation, and no anonymous items follow, the line that should read "No Donor specified" showed a repeat of the last donor's last item. Fixed. Report and Document Printing: In a very few cases, fonts not "kerned" correctly on print Preview or output. Fixed by vendor update. View, Donation Total and View, Total Proceeds: RT 13 occurred when package master indicator was blank (faulty record) instead of zero. Fixed. Void Transactions: Added Hint button. |

3.1.5121 2005 |
Major Updates New! Added V3 Starter Edition: low-price, modest feature set edition for teams just getting started. Minor Changes and Enhancements, and Bug Fixes: Activities, Enter Winning Bids:When this screen was entered from grid view and a basket item clicked by mistake, Item Type not set explicitly or correctly. Fixed. Activities, Enter Winning Bids: When clerk entering winning bids backed up and started over on a bid, Save was not always correctly enabled. Fixed. Activities, Enter Winning Bids: When using Next and Previous buttons, user is prompted for confirmation to Save changes prior to moving to the next or previous item. Activities, Enter Winning Bids: Total quantity and dollar value of pledges is no longer calculated each time a bid is entered, to enhance performance in high volume (>100-200 pledges) and network environments. Update button added to allow the user to recalculate totals as desired. Documents, Catalog: Catalogs sorted by Category, with page break at each category change, and zero pages between Live and Silent, could get an extra page in between the sections, depending on items and category placement. Fixed. Documents, Catalog, Print to Word: Include or exclude page numbers to match setup corrected. Single page catalogs print to Word correctly now, also. Documents, Name Details: Balance due placement improved. Documents, Name Details: Added volunteer contact to report. File, New Project: Convert from V1 to V3 left basket field set incorrectly, since V1 did not have baskets. Fixed. Help, Check for Updates: Now sets flag and only checks once a week when your software is current. Progress Bars: Ignore X button unless Cancel is explicitly enabled. Reports, Donor Names: Sorted by volunteer contact: Value of donations for last name on list now correct instead of zero. Reports, Donor Names: Sorted by volunteer contact: Donors now alphabetical within volunteer grouping. Reports, Table Assignments: When two names start similarly, runtime 91 occurs. Fixed. Review, Guests with Non-Zero Balance: Corrected sort sequence for $ amounts to numeric rather than pseudo-alphabetic. View, Auction Proceeds: Fixed runtime error related to ticket type problems. Cosmetic Changes Documents, Mailing Labels: Clarified operation of alphabetic ranges on screen. Documents, Name Details: Balance Due formatting handled more gracefully near end of page. Event Manager, Add Client: Corrected tab sequence on Client Keys form. Item Entry: Pasting descriptions from MSWord sometimes left the item screen visible, but not modal (accessible) due to timing associated with custom spelling dictionary check. Help, Project Information/Statistics: If form is left open by user, user could still click Help, Project Information... which caused form display error (RT430). Fixed. Progress Bars: Now ignores X button unless Cancel is visible. Settings, Event Preferences, Project Name: Now closes project after changing name and saving, to resolve references on File, Recent List and displays. View, Names in Grid View: Opening a Guest record after others records had been reviewed or edited resulted in the grid view values showing the guest's HOST data instead of their own. Fixed. View, Names Grid: Purchase amount for guest updated on grid following ticket purchase. |
