Secretary's Helper Version 3.3
I am paying Dues and updating the Member Record at the same time and the Dues are not always posting although I have posted them. Cause:
You are opening a Member record for changing (removing the Read Only flag); then entering and posting the Dues for that Member and then changing and saving the Member record. When you save the Member record you are over-writing the record with the updated Dues standing.

Remedy:
Complete one task before starting the other. Either make updates to the Member record and save it before entering and posting the member dues or vice-versa.
I have installed Microsoft Vista as my Operating System and Secretary's Helper Version 3.2 no longer works. Cause:
Changes to "security" in the operating system render this version inoperable.

Remedy:
Upgrade (free) to Version 3.3 of Secretary's Helper. To install, follow these INSTRUCTIONS
I have just upgraded to the latest release and my data is gone! Cause:
To accomomodate changes to "security" in the MS Vista operating system it was necessary to re-design the handling of data.

Remedy:
If you did a Secretary's Helper Backup immediately before the upgrade, which is good practice, you can now do a Secretary's Helper Restore. This will populate the correct folder with your data. If you have several Lodges on Secretary's Helper, you will need to do a restore for each Lodge.

An alternative method is to copy your data folder from its present location to its new location in "My Computer (Windows Explorer)". Instructions for doing so are here - INSTRUCTIONS
I have just upgraded to the latest release and I am being asked for my "Data Path".

What is this?

 Cause:
To accomomodate changes to "security" in the MS Vista operating system it was necessary to re-design the handling of data.

Remedy:
You can choose any location which you like and Secretary's Helper will create a folder called "SecHelp3Data" in the folder which you select where it will store your data.
I have just upgraded to the latest release and I had to enter my Activation Code the first time I ran the program.

Is there a problem with my code?

 Cause:
To accomomodate changes to "security" in the MS Vista operating system it was necessary to save the Activation Code in a different location. This is the reason you had to enter it again.
