Timekeeper Updates

Updating the Timekeeper Software

If you already have a version of Timekeeper, it may be out of date. Examine the file dates and versions shown below and download those which were created since you last got that file. For more information see Timekeeper Files. Note that both the creation date and the modification date shown by your system for an MDB file are not reliable indicators of when you got the file. The version numbers displayed by the program and utility are reliable.

I fixed a bug in TDUTIL.MDB on 11/14/99. The problem happens when upgrading from versions before 0.7. I made a few minor changes and bug fixes in TDPGM.MDB on 3/31/99. For more information on the changes see Version 0.81 Changes. If you are already using timekeeper Version 0.8 you need to get just TDPGM.MDB. If you have a Timekeeper before Version 0.8 then read the following paragraphs.

For information on the changes in the pervious Update, Version 0.80, see Version 0.8 Changes. If you are already using timekeeper you need to get just TDPGM.MDB and TDUTIL.MDB.

For information on the changes to Version 0.73, see Version 0.73 Changes. The TDDTBL.MDB which became available in January 97 is an improved demo created by Edgar Cahn. It has examples of saved reports using the new report interface and it has more data to make the reports more meaningful.

If you have a Timekeeper before Version 0.8 then you need TDUTIL.MDB. If your Timekeeper is before Version 0.73 you need to also get TDSTRUC.MDB. Updating from a version before Version 0.73 reformats the data in TDTBLS.MDB so you should be carefully backed up before updating to the new version. To be able to get back to where you were you would need your current copies of TDPGM.MDB, TDUTIL.MDB, TDSTRUC.MDB, and TDTBLS.MDB.

Installing the Updates

After downloading the updated files, install them by:

1. Make backup copies of each of the existing files that will be replaced.
2. If you did not download the files to the TIMED directory, move them there.
3. Execute each of the downloaded files by running them from the File Manager. This expands the .exe files into .mdb files. You can now delete the .exe files.
4. In the Timekeeper Utility program click the Synchronize Components button to complete the installation of the update.
