  1. Additional changes to the Summary Model Data window resulting in the following corrections:

09/14/01 Version 2.0.27

  1. A major rewrite of the Summary Model Data window resulting in the following changes:
  2. The order in which the cursor moves on the General Project Data window/Company Data tab when pressing the Tab key has been corrected.
  3. Clicking on the Help menu, followed by clicking on Elite Software on the Web, and selecting Free Software Demos. An obsolete web page was displayed, but it is now pointing to the updated web page. The same is true for selecting the News Room link.
  4. Clicking on the Tools menu to Run the RHVAC Program has been updated to match the new RHVAC program name. Previously it would not load the new version of the program.
  5. The splash window stays on the screen for less time.

08/07/01 Version 2.0.26

  1. Reorganized the Summary Model Data window for better layout and more logic.

05/04/01 Version 2.0.25

  1. Increased the row height of the Edit/Add Materials database screen, because sometimes if it is too narrow in height, you cannot select a field to edit.
  2. Add prompt to confirm when user selects to clear (delete) material checklists.
  3. FYI, not a program change - the list of "material checklists" in the Select Material Costs screen is divided into two sections, one being a list of all the checklists the user has created, and the other being the most recently selected material checklists (for user convenience). No changes here, but a user wanted a better explanation about what this was.
  4. When user changes the quantity of a material, it instantly changes the cost values.

04/25/01 Version 2.0.24

  1. Modified procedures that determine if data has changed to ensure that in all cases where it has changed, it will be saved. Thanks Bob!
  2. Corrected error that could cause the model gross margin to be zeroed when changing the labor gross margin. Thanks for the heads up, Darrell!
  3. We just added a confirmation question to the Clear button on labor costs screen, to allow you to abort the clear function and avoid losing the entered labor data.
  4. If no accessories are specified, then the accessory report page will not be printed, even if they option had been previously checked (like the user selected some accessories and then removed them). Requested by Vadim.
  5. Program no longer locks up if the project explorer is opened with more than 100 project files.
  6. Added part number column to installer's report.

02/27/01 Version 2.0.23

  1. Quote has been tested to make sure it works with Word 2000, as it did with Word 97. Also enlarged (and re-wrote) the selection field for it in the Report Options screen, so it would be easier to find and select.
  2. On Select Materials screen, the Clear button was close to the Search button. If you accidently pressed the Clear button, all your selected materials would be "de-selected". We just added a confirmation question to the Clear button, to allow you to abort the clear function and avoid losing the selections.
  3. On Select Materials screen, "Material list" has been renamed to "Material Checklist", as it had been for the DOS version of Quote. This will help distinguish it from the entire material list as a point of confusion.
  4. The Accessory page can now be turned off.
  5. Program won't lock up if missing logo file, both in the splash screen and the About box.

11/17/00 Version 2.0.22

Also, there will not be the occasional screen flicker one user reported. Also, if you changed the default database in GPD, it will only appear in the Summary screen if you clear that field. Previously it always overwrote the database name.
  2. Changed email address from "info@elitesoft.com" to "quotesupport@elitesoft.com"

  3. Changed the phrase "Default Database:" to "Default Equipment File:" in General Project Data screen.

  5. If there is an error while opening a different material database, Quote returns to the previous good one, if there was one.
