TATEMS: Fleet Maintenance Software - Update 1-27-2005

Greetings

Here's another update....

Remember, you don't need to apply all previous updates in order to update TATEMS 2005.

So if you missed one you can just use the most current one.

These updates will start to become much less frequent, mostly just to
add new functionality or reports.

We are working on an update to the help manual that will be available
for download when ready.
....................................

This update will only work with TATEMS 2005...

In this update I have added/fixed:

  1. Fixed Trailer Maint. & Safety Report Preview and Print

  2. Changed Adding Parts To Work Orders To A QuickAdd without having to open the entire Parts Inventory

  3. Changes Adding Employee to Work Order Labor so that when you type in an existing Employee but they are not in the list because they were not checked off as a fleet technician they will be changed

  4. Added function to update the Inspections that were impropery added by a user and removed the ability for the user to add an inspection in the wrong month and year.

  5. Added Tools Menu and Help Menu and moved numerous items into the new menu's

  6. Added NETWORKING to Tools menu to make networking much easier than before.

  7. Added QuickStart to the Help Menu

  8. Added Registration Screen to Help Menu so you can see your serial number without having to restart TATEMS in the next version you will be able to bring this screen up to see both your serial number and registration number for later retreival.


    Thanks again for any feedback.
