Upgrading your Catalog from Release 1.23.13 or Later

If you are upgrading from Release 1.23.13 or later you can use the File>Import>Upgrade… command to import your catalog form the older release.

1. Use the Tools>Live Update command to import any and all current factroy catalog updates.
2. Use the File>Import>Upgrade... command. Navigate the file selection dialog to the 1.23.13 or 1.23.14 folder and select the DVDReg.mdb file as the source of the upgrade. Windows may hide the file extension so you may be looking for a file icon of a red key in a sqaure.
3. Once the upgrade starts you will see a progress dialog. Occasionally imported records will conflict and you may see a warning. You should acknowledge the warning to cuase the "action query" to continue.

Upgrading your Catalog from Release 1.23.12 or Earlier

1. With Release 1.23.14 you cannot use the File>Import>Upgrade… command to import from catalogs 1.23.12.xx and ealier. This is due to a change in the permission structure of Release 1.23.13 as a result of changes to Access 2013. This issue applies to Release 1.23.14 regardless of the version of Access you are currently running.
2. You should open the older Release 1.23.xx catalog and use the File>Export>Backup… command. Save the backup to a location that you can find later. Close the older release. You cannot import a backup from a release prior to 1.23.xx. (aka prior to October 2003).
3. If necessary transfer the backup file from an older PC to the PC running Release 1.23.13.
4. Open 1.23.13 and use the File>Import>Backup… command. Select the backup file you made in the prior step or a backup that you moved from another PC.
5. You will be presented with another warning screen, which gives you the opportunity to continue or cancel.
6. Click OK and the contents of the backup database will be processed for import. If some records cannot be properly imported you will receive an error message with the count of records that could not be processed. Currently there is no way to determine which records failed to be imported. There is no way to undo an import once it has started. The only method to recover from a failed import is to restore the database from a back-up copy.

Revision Notes: The DVD Register, Release 1.23.15.01 (First Build) Built May 23,2020

The Release 1.23.15.01 install script was tested with Access 2019 32bit Retail (aka Access 16). Access 2019 retail was released by Microsoft in September 2018.  Microsoft did not issue a royalty free runtime version of Access 2019. If Access 2019 is installed on the PC, then it will be used as the host application for the DVDR.

The Release 1.23.15.01 install script was tested with Access 365 32bit (Version 2002 Build 1257.20482 installed from an ISO) that is fully installed on the desktop. Access 365 is included in Office 365 Home, Office 365 Personal, Office 365 Business Standard, and Office 365 Business Premium. On a 64-bit PC, the Office install will default to the 64-bit version. For DVD Register compatiblity you must change the install option to the 32bit version. Office 365 is a service subject to a recurring right-to-use (subcription) that includes automatic upgrades to newer versions. Future versions of Office 365 could cause the DVD Register to break.

MODIFICATIONS:

None.

CHANGES TO THE REFERENCE CATALOG:

The local reference catalog was rebuilt from the factory reference catalog that was created on May 15, 2020. This new factory catalog includes all corrections made to the reference catalog. All Catalog Updates through Update 307 are present in this rebuilt catalog.

KNOWN BUGS:

On a test PC running Widows 10 64 bit and Access 2016 runtime, the HTML reports for the one Disc Per Page and the Semi Custom Report would generate an error. The issue is related to Unicode characters in the Notes and Supplements Fields (memo field types). The work around is to edit the data and remove the Unicode characters.

When running Access 2019 or Access 365, the Help>About screen will report the Access Version as "2016 or 2019". This is the normal behavior since these Access versions report the launch folder as Office2016. The method that the DVD Register uses to identify the version of Access cannot distinguish Access 2016 from Access 2019 and Access 365.

TEST CONFIGURATIONS:

The following configurations of Windows and Access and DVDR Release 1.23.15.01 have been tested:

Windows 10 Pro 64bit and Access 2019 Retail 32bit
Windows 10 Pro 64bit and Access 365 Family 32bit
