Release of Version 2.02 (Build 037)
Version 2.02 (Build 037) incorporates major enhancements to Budgets GetReal. It is now available as a FREE update. All users should update to Version 2.02 (Build 037) immediately.
Special thanks to all the dedicated users who helped us with pre-release testing.
If you have previously updated to Version 2.01 (Builds 032+) this update will be automatically applied for you when next you open Budgets GetReal. For older versions Click here for instructions on how to update versions prior to Build 032
Build 037 makes no changes to the database structure introduced with Build 035.
Some of the benefits that Version 2.02 adds are as follows:
1. Additional databases at massive discounts.
Registered users (not available from any free offer) can now purchase additional databases at around 70% discount. Additional databases are separately registered but linked to your original registration. A limit of 4 additional databases (any combination of Personal or Business) is currently available. Some conditions apply - see in program purchase form for details.
A great gift for one of your children to help them understand where their money is going.
2. Support for multiple database sub-folders.
Database folder can now incorporate multiple sub-folders each with their own database file & backups. See Configuring to use multiple databases and About the Multiple databases interface. This will be of major benefit to Accountants, Tax Agents & users with multiple databases to manage.
Also of benefit for users with only a single database who swap files between multiple computers. See Running Budgets GetReal on multiple computers.
3. Additional tools to help your Accountant & Tax Agent.
Digitally signed “MultiUserKeys” are available to registered Accountants on application. These keys provide the enabling framework for the release of additional practice management tools and additional reporting features as these are released.
4. New Read-only database mode
Read-only mode is of great benefit when working with backups of financial records e.g. copies of your database used to prepare Tax Returns. In this case you need to be certain the records are not inadvertently changed.
Read-only mode also significantly extends the basis of your user license. See Protecting your license from disqualification.
A optional “Changes” password has also been added. This is separate from the password controlling access to the program. It allows to lock changes in read-only mode.
Finally restored backups are now automatically applied as read-only. These can be made editable once Budgets GetReal opens (assuming you know the correct password).
5. Extra printing facilities
You can now print the Account and Category summaries.
All Reports (Income & Expenses, Balance Sheets etc.) now incorporate a legend. This details the report date and exactly what search criteria have been used to create the report.
6. Updates to all Extensions
All Extensions - Small Business Pack, Cash Commitments, Future Spending planner have all been updated to support Read-only database mode. Revised extensions will automatically update as required.
7. You can now participate in our Developers program.
Users wishing to assist in the testing and development of the future releases should apply for the issue of a “developers” key. This allows you to access the version currently in development and test upgrades prior to their public release.
8. Other additional features and improvements.
