In former TecLocal versions the application data in the

multi-user scenario was stored in an MS Access database. This is not

supported anymore.

n

Instead a MS SQL 2008 R2 Express database (free of charge,

data-base size limited to 10 GB) is used.

n

This TecLocal 4.0 MultiUser Database has a special

administration tool which allows a comfortable definition of

automatically carried out maintenance and administration task.

called. The search grid size now fills out the entire screen when

application size changes.

Changes in configuration settings

n

The DSN settings are no longer used and were replaced with

connection strings in the configuration file.

Remember checked rows

n

_{After selection of different tabs, the application will now}

remember the rows checked by the user.

3. Additional Changes

(16)

Farbpalette

Changes in Inbound Journal sort

n

_{In the former TecLocal version, if some requests are made with}

little elapsed time (within a minute), rows in the data grid of the

Inbound Journal are wrongly sorted – this no longer occurs.

Changes in tab selection when a delivery date is in

the past

n

_{In old versions, if a user does a request, selects a delivery date}

in the past and tries to select another tab, TecLocal did not

respond again. Now the application prompts the user to discard

the last entries before he continues.

3. Additional Changes
