Bugs/Inconveniences?

Version 2.5

Bug-v2.5 ES237 Verification Report includes Alumni status Members and Cloverbuds, the ES237 Annual Youth Extension Report does not include any Alumni.

Bug-v2.5 ES237 Test Member/Leader report, P. 6, #15.1 Youth Volunteers--Males without Duplicate Total may be low.  Escambia Co. had 5 Male Youth Direct Volunteers (Not Hisp= 2W, 1B, 1AI and Hisp= 1W). There were no duplicates, but the Total (duplicates eliminated) was only 3.  MarTech acknowledged the bug but said it seemed to be tied to racial information, which they expected to be discontinued for volunteers next year.

It appears that the v2.5 update removed the "Year in Project" information, as well as any Inactive Projects from Member Project entries in youth2d.db.

1. Florida's Error checking Custom Reports (from rbitem.zip) Report Builder Custom Reports will indicate a Count of 1 (errors) when no record meeting the condition was found.  If there was nothing in the Location, Leader, Date, you don't have any Youth Group entries with that problem.

1. Group Youth and Group Volunteer files need new format if you get:
ES237ES237 Statistical Report| won't run - error tblZero: Field 'ContactHours' not found, then invalid fieldname HW
Group Youth error on opening tblGroup Field 'ContactHours' not found
Group Volunteer error on opening tblVolunteer: 'AMDir' not found

On v2.4 CD (or download from link here) passed out at the January 2004 training (FL rev. 12/23/03), pick "Explore this CD" and open the \Formated data files folder, double-click on Setup.exe and point it to your actual Data location.  Default is C:\Program Files\Youth Enrollment\Data, a network path will be different. 

2. Group Youth Enrollment, Duplicate button doesn't work.  
1. Duplicate key only works on first tab, Delivery. ("cannot focus on a diabled or invisible window" error message)
2. On the last tab Ethnic/Race, you must actually type in 0 (zero) in the Total Hispanics box, if you have no Hispanics, or type in a 0 (zero) in the Total Not Hispanic box, if you only have Hispanics.  

If the TotalH or TotalNH box is empty, when you hit Save, you should have received an error message " is not a valid integer and the record should not save.  This may have been added in the March 18, 2004 update or the May 4, 2004 update.  

Copy the  first sql  to File|Create and View Query to see if any of your Group Youth Enrollments are missing a 0 entry for Total Hispanic or Total Not Hispanic:

If you are missing a 0 entry for TotalH or TotalNH,
copy and paste the 2 update sqls (one at a time) to Help|Troubleshooting|SQL, then execute it.

1. The Report|Statistical Report|Member/Leader Statistical has numbers in the Leaders when I only pick M (Members) and C (Cloverbuds). In my example there are Not Hispanic, Male and Female leaders in both Black and White rows. The totals at the bottom are incorrect for the Not Hispanic Male and Female leaders, as well--both should be 0.  (fixed in July 12, 2004 update, problem in all v 2.4 through May 4, 2004 dates)

2.  Integrated Club check doesn't show Ethnic mix (Hispanic or Non-Hispanic).
Report|Statistical Reports|Member Project/Activity/Club Statistical for Member/Leader Primary Club, Category= M and C, Sort Order= Race, and Status= New, Return and Terminate.  

A club with only White members would still be Integrated if some members are Hispanic and some are Non-Hispanic White.

v 2.4 Update dated March 18, 2004 fixes many of the problems in the Nov. 7 or 25, 2003 versions and was made available on this website 4/9/04.

In v 2.4, dated November 7 or 25, 2003

 Nov. 7 version displays "Demonstration county" instead of county name in blue title box at top of window.  Close out of the Youth Enrollment program and run this file on each computer with the program installed WY24exe.exe.  Say Yes to All to overwrite files in Youth Enrollment folder.  Help|About date will change to November 25, 2003 after this patch is applied to Nov. 7th version.

Demodata.zip used in FL trainings had this problem, but your actual county data seems to convert fine.  The Ethnic Statistics available on many Reports list the Race of all Non-Hispanics as "Balance", not their actual race.  Hispanics were all converted to Hispanic White by the Update and so far, appear okay.

Mailing Labels -
Parent screen mailing address is only 25 characters instead of 35 on Member/Leader screen and is truncated when copied into Parent screen with 'Get'.  Special|Mailing Labels| 'One per Family' option takes address from Parent screen.  Otherwise, address is taken from the Member/Leader screen where each member or leader in family could have a label.  Member/Query|Action|Mailing Labels address is also from the Member/Leader screen.

---File|Member Query

1. Member/Query|Add Projects

1a)     prompts do not reflect what was marked in the Preference settings (Completed and Active are marked when Completed wasn’t marked in Prefs but Active and Need Literature were marked)

1b)          … button to list projects (FL uses letters), if you type in lowercase letters it doesn’t jump the display to project code, only uppercase letters actually jump.

2. Member/Query| Mailing Labels gives “Error you must select from grid before performing this action” when you select range, then unselect record(s) with Ctrl+Click. 
If your last action was to unselect a record, you get the error message.
If your last action was to select a record, it works ok

---File|Additional Queries|Member Project Query|

3a) Search|Find doesn’t do anything
ex. for field ProjectID  did not highlight or move cursor to record with the given project code, although it was within the first 10 records showing on the screen as Member Project Query opened.

3b) Print Ethnic Statistics gives 0s for racial break-down 
Select some records, then pick Action Mailing labels
Some of our counties are required to keep monthly statistics on mailings and get # by race from the “Print Ethnic Statistics” on the mailing label menu.

---File|Create and View Query
Select * from Youth2x  export to dBase fails if use  >> to select all fields 
(use < to unselect any names longer than 10 characters)
DeliverMode, AnnualAudit field names in clubs file are too long, (even though field values are short 2 character and logical)
4. Any Fieldname longer than 10 characters triggers Error, won’t create a dBase file.  Export to Ascii text files don’t include fieldnames as headers, and work ok.

 ---Report|Statistical Reports| (any choice)
ex. Member Project Activity Club
with Member Project, Members & Cloverbuds, Gender 
5. PRINT button nothing happens, no prompt for range, no printout.
Preview button correctly prompts for Project begin and end codes, displays the result, and then will let you print.

 ---ES237|Group Youth Enrollment 
6a) Add or Edit Ethnic/Race tab
The “by race” and “balance” rows aren’t checked to see if the sum of numbers in them exceed the number in Hispanic or in non-Hispanic above, you can enter almost anything and still save the record.  

6b) Duplicate key is not working.  You have to use Add to add any Youth Group Entries until this is fixed.

---ES237|Print Training Files
Print gives Database Engine Error Type mismatch in expression BDE error 11871 [$2E][$5F] with no file or field name.  ex. Bradford still has old race fields in youth2L.db.

---Utility|Member Chart|  (any) Print Form button doesn’t print readable report on any HP laser printer I’ve tried—HP6L, HP4, HPII.

---Utility|Member Chart|Members by Grade includes leaders GPAR and maybe Other (as No Grade + kids missing grade), limit to just Members, Cloverbuds, Special categories.  Only want Member Categories in the No Grade to indicate those missing a grade.  Don’t confuse with grade information for Other, or Leader categories.  ES237 program behavior used to be that Member with no grade was put in “Not in school”—still true?

---Utility|Member Chart|Members by Race chart does not show correct total for Non-Hispanic American Indians--displays only 1, if there are any in the data.

Datafix.doc is instructions for Datafix.zip a small program that will assist you in restructuring your data files.  This can be used if recreating your indexes doesn’t work or if you have errors like “index is out of date”, “corrupt table other than header”, or “a component name ________ already exists”.   In ver 2.3, it shows up under Start Programs as Enroll, then Pdxrbld.

Problems Found in Youth Enrollment ver 2.3 dated Nov 2002 or July 2003

Volunteer Training ES237 bug 

Version 2.3 of the program sometimes gave Low totals for the number of Youth Volunteers and Adult Volunteers Trained. The ES237 menu "Print Training log" report has the correct totals at the end. In Florida, I re-ran your ES237 with a newer version October 14, 2003 of Youth Enrollment that corrected the totals before combining it into the state report. Trained Volunteer totals include duplicates.

Activity Statistical Report for Youth Group| Group/Member combined 
- includes all Activities from all years entered on the Member/Leader Activity tab, instead of limiting it to the current Activity year.  Only the current year Activities are available on the Group Youth records.

Problems Found in Youth Enrollment Oct 25, 2001 or Nov 29, 2001, ver 2.2 (from website).

List of Members by Race in a Club.
Report|Member/Leader by Club, Report Type = Ethnic Code
Bug -in Ver 2.2 (Nov 2001) the Asian/Pacific Islander members are not found, fixed in the update to Ver 2.3 (Nov 2002).

ES237 Verification Report (problem in June 4, 2001 v 2.1 and all v 2.2)
Shows all Adult Volunteers Leader Types as N.  Youth Leaders appear to display correctly on the ES237 Verification Report.  Adult Leader Types DV, IV, MM (Direct Volunteer, Indirect Volunteer, and Middle Manager) appear on the ES237 report at the top of p. 3.

ES237 Annual Extension Youth Enrollment Report (Test Member/Leader and Final Combined versions) Organized Clubs Units may be higher than the number of Organized Clubs in the Clubs file if more than one county code number has been used in the Clubs file records.  To Fix:  
1) Verify correct 3 digit County Code number has been entered on the Utility|Preferences (Member Preferences) screen

2) Go to Utility|File Utilities|Utilities|Write County # to data files 

Add Projects under Member Query 
1. Ignores the Default Project Settings you have set in Preferences (FL uses Active & Need Lit) and prompts with Active and Completed marked.  Uncheck Completed if your county waits until the project book is turned in to count a project completed.

2. Requires you to enter a club number for the project.  It no longer defaults to adding the project to the member's primary club.  It doesn't add the project at all if no club is selected.  In the past you could add a project under Member Query to members selected from different clubs, this no longer appears to be possible. In version 2.4, mark Use Primary Club box to have program use each member's primary club for the added project or activity.

Add Projects under Member Leader Project tab
Requires you to enter a club number for the project.  It no longer defaults to adding the project to the member's primary club.  It doesn't add the project at all if no club is selected.

Help|About Date may change to the date you downloaded and copied the newer version of yfile.dll (dated after 12/16/01) into c:\Program Files\Youth Enrollment\ rather than October 25, 2001 or November 29, 2001.  

FirstClass2000_VCL4.BPL not found
When you try to open the program after applying an update (or doing a new full install), if you get a message about a missing .BPL file, you need to get and run the BPLs.exe program (~10 MB) from this 4H website, from the MarTech ftp site (link is on Help|About page in Youth Enrollment), or from the Oct. 25, 2001 or newer Youth Enrollment CD \Extras folder.  The DPLs.exe (~3.3 MB) program can supply a missing DPL file.

Member ID field not indexed
As many of you are starting to enroll and re-enroll, there's a common error message that has been coming up, usually when you're trying to print lit reports. It will say something like "Member ID field not indexed." Here's the fix for you to try before you call. It's worked every time so far, so I'm hopeful, but please call if you have further problems after doing this. The fix below LOOKS long, but it really only takes about 5 minutes.

(ONLY one person in the program...)
Go to Utility|File Utilities.
Highlight Youth2a.db and File|Recreate Index.
Highlight Youth2c.db and File|Recreate Index.
Highlight Youth2y.db and File|Recreate Index.
Highlight Youth2d.db and File|Recreate Index. If this goes according to pattern, you'll get an error message about "File Format is wrong, correct problem?" Say yes, and let it do it.
You'll probably get an error message about "File not found". Say OK.
Find Youth2i.db (right after Youth2h.db) and double-click.
Locate the field VersNum, and remove the "202". Click OK.
Exit all screens, and Exit BR.

When you start BR running again, everything should be fine. I'm not sure that all the Index Recreating is necessary, but they're all related files, so it's okay.

If you get the message, and successfully use the instructions above to fix it, please let me know.

Problems Found in Youth Enrollment Jun 4, 2001, ver 2.1 (from website).

1. ES237 Verification Report shows all Adult Volunteers Leader Types as N.  Youth Leaders appear to display correctly on the ES237 Verification Report.  Adult Leader Types DV, IV, MM (Direct Volunteer, Indirect Volunteer, and Middle Manager) appear on the ES237 report at the top of p. 3.

Problems Found in Youth Enrollment Dec 14, 2000, ver 2.1 (from website or floppy)

1. Member/Leader Reports by Club the Report Style "Complete Report" has a bug, the "One Line" style still gives correct counts. Usually you would pick Members (M) & Cloverbuds (C), Complete, New & Return.  The bug is that "Complete Report style prints with a "phantom" member (as commas) at the top, and the count is one person too high.  It also prints the phantom record for every club in your club file, even when the club has no individual entries from the Member/Leader screen.  MarTech is working on a fix. 

2. Some of the reports have some quirks in them--inactive projects are showing up when they shouldn't. 

3. Report|Member/Leader Lists and Report|Member/Leader by Club 

The figures printed by the "Print Ethnic Statistics" option total to a number greater than the Report Total.  If you sum the figures by race and sex to get a total, it is higher than the printed Report Total.  Because the "by Club" report will count members of more than one club in each of their clubs, it will have a higher Report Total than the Member/Leader List.  Remember that Member/Query can display only the Primary club associated with a member, their other clubs will only show on the Member/Leader screen Club tab or one of the reports.

4. Member/Query- AVOID MINIMIZING it and Don't X to Exit from Member/Query while it is minimized.  If you close Member/Query while it is minimized, the program displays weird behavior (the program shrinks to taskbar and shows Windows desktop icons), which continues even if you close and restart the Youth Enrollment program.  If the minimized Member/Query is accessible (put cursor just above Start to see it appear), click on the full screen button (box in upper right corner of it's window).  After several minutes, the contents of Member Query may appear, if they do, things are ok and you can proceed normally.  It appears that Restarting Windows corrects the confusion, as well. 

5. Add a new Project Code to the master projects file (File|Project Codes| Add).  When I try to add a project code here, the ES2327 drop down list shows when I click the button, but the drop down lists for Federal Initiative and State Initiative show only blanks (a bug, I think).  You can't type in an initiative code,
so you can't add Federal or State Initiative codes on any new projects.  

From Trude, our support person at MarTech 2/9/01:

These items we know there are problems with, if you come up with
something more that is not on this list let me know asap, we will
try to wrap this up in the next week or so, and have a patch
available at that time:

1 - Member Leader List & M/L by club
a - Prints inactive projects & active projects on records
b - Complete report - doesn't print people with inactive projects even though the status is new/return
c - choosing clubs - on complete report prints commas as an extra blank record which increases the count.

2 - Club query - problems exporting data

3 - Project/Activity/Award Report - shows Alumni & Inactive when status not checked, but has active projects.  Terminates also show on report?

4 - Statistical report
a - Volunteer group - combined error
b - Volunteer Adult or Group - county name prints as
Demonstration County instead of real county name
c - member/leader by club - choosing New/Return you get
same numbers as choosing Inactive
d - member/leader by project - different totals than P/A/A
New/Return totals

5 - Member Project query - add Gender field

6 - Update data - "Field score not found"

7 - 'Kinder' as boolean... error on Group youth data using duplicate
key

8 - ES237
a - trying to save report, doesn't save at all as anything i.e. .rtf,
.txt etc.
b - Verification report - project leader doesn't work

9 - Attendance report - not printing correctly

10 - Mailing labels
a - Project range - checks on project status instead of member status first.  So includes anyone who has active projects and ignores the member status.
b - Font & size isn't working in setup

11 - Enrollment forms - age doesn't increment, however, year in 4h and grade does

12 - Member certification - activities not included on negative and positive (will add)

Problems Found in Youth Enrollment Nov 14, 2000, version 2.1 (FL CD3)
 ** means Dec 14, 2000 update fixes it

Member/Leader

** Parent record was linking to incorrect Member record(s) when the Parent record number assigned coincided with a Member ID of a different Member.  

** Tab key skips over Birthdate field.  When adding a new Member, you need to click Birthdate field with mouse to add it (required for Members).  

Zip code lookup now requires a Preference setting Utility|Preferences|Default Member Entry tab, mark "Use Zip Code Lookup".  ** Bug- even with that preference set, it didn't enter zip code..

** Add Clubs listing on the Clubs tab used to keep displaying the part of the clubs list that the last club was added from, even if it was from the bottom of the list.  Bug- when you go to the next member and pick Add Club, the list displays from the top, which means you have to scroll down each time to find clubs near the bottom of the list.

Project Codes

ES237 project code does not display, does not assign it correctly when picked from the list.  Duplicate key does not retain ES237, State Initiative, or Federal Initiative codes, only the project name. (problem changed but not fixed in Dec 14, 2000 update)

**Year in Project on Inactive projects increased by 1 during Process Year End Files. 

Reports

** Member/Leader Lists and Member/Leaders by Club reports apparently leave off anyone who does not have an active Project, whatever their category-Member, Cloverbud, General/Org leader, Project Leader, Activity Leader, Resource Leader or Other.

** Project/Activity/Awards reports only work for Projects.  Picking either Activity or Awards gives an "Invalid Field Name - Active".

FULL Install problems Nov. 14, 2000 or  December 14, 2000

After you do the install and click on the WinYouth icon to open the program an error message comes up.  It says, File does not exist, "dbSetupr.Ini,  cannot continue.  It means that WinYouth must be added to the BDE Administrator program, with a path that points to your Data directory.

To fix this, you need to do the following:
1. Go to Start/Programs/Winyouth/BDE Admin
2. Click on the Databases tab.
3. Click on the PLUS sign in front of Databases in the left window.
4. Choose the Object menu, New...
5. Click OK for the Standard option.
6. Rename the object "WinYouth" (in the left pane). 
7. In the RIGHT pane, click in the box to the right of Path. Click on the "..." button. Locate your Data folder.
8. Make sure that the Default Driver box says Paradox.
9. Choose Object|Apply.
10. Exit BDE Admin. Save changes if prompted.
11. Probably would be good to restart your computer before starting your BR program. You may also be prompted for your access codes the first time you run BR.

Problems Found in Youth Enrollment Feb 23, 2000, version 2.0, (FL CD2)

Re-enrollment forms

Stray Club links print "extra?"re-enrollment forms.  Clear them out first.  Go to Utility|File Utilities|Utilities|

To print re-enrollment forms, go to Special|Enrollment Forms, Primary Club Code or All Club Codes, x Print with Project Codes.  Give it a starting club code and an ending club code.  This will print a one-page re-enrollment form for each member of a club.  If you have youth who are members of several clubs, one will print for each club code unless you picked "Primary Club Code".

BUG - "Individual" prints lots of repeated pages for a member, wasting ink and paper.  A member of one club prints 3 pages, a member of several clubs was printing 12 pages, when only the first page was needed and unique.

Re-enrollment forms do not have any place to indicate Youth Leader or Leader Type in the general sense, but can have a column asking Youth Leader Yes/No for each project.

New enrollment forms that you print (Special|Enrollment Forms, Blank Forms) have a place at the top to mark Youth Leader (but not Type) and another place to mark Youth Leader Yes/No for each project.

Activity Leader is misspelled "Activitiy" on the Enrollment forms, MarTech will have to fix it.

Member Project Query

Can't Edit in Member Project Query, just view and delete projects.

Projects

Projects must be Active and letter Project Codes must be all Uppercase to show on Reports.

A project should only be entered once for a given Member or Leader.   The Process Year-End Files Utility fails to complete and locks-up the computer if a Member or Leader had a project entered more than once.

Add Project via Member Query allowed Duplicate Projects for the same Member or Leader to be entered.  These are counted on the ES237, inflating the figures by Curriculum Area.  Use the Member Project Query to review the projects by Member ID. 

Mailing Labels 

Under Special|Mailing Labels, if you choose "Labels - One Per Family" and then Label Style "Ascii" to export and use them with Envelope Manager, you lose "To the 4-H Family of:" or whatever statement you had entered as the first line.  The Parent screen address or email  is used when "One Per Family" is selected.

ASCII Mailing labels from Member Query don't work right now. If you need to use that feature, you'll need to be a little creative: From Member Query, highlight your members, then choose File|Export... and export the fields that you would normally find on a mailing label. It'll still work, just differently.  Only the Member/Leader screen address or email is available under Member Query.

Email

Go to Special|Mailing Labels to send to both the member and the parent email addresses. Some children have a school email on their member/leader screen and then list the home email on the parent screen.  

For Member/Leader screen address & email, you'd choose label parameters WITHOUT marking "Labels -One Per Family", click to mark the box at bottom "E-mail all who have an e-mail address instead of printing a label", then click on Preview to bring up the email screen & send it, then cancel out of the labels preview screen. 

Then, for Parent screen address & email, go back to parameters, choose "Labels -One Per Family", click to mark the box at bottom "E-mail all who have an e-mail address instead of printing a label", then click on Preview to bring up the email screen enter the email message again & send it, then either print or cancel the labels preview. 

If you want paper copies to ALSO go to those that got emails, then you would go to the labels parameters screen and uncheck the email option and print all the labels.

Project Literature

Under File|Project Literature, the Literature Code field is not wide enough to display all of 10 characters/numbers permitted, you can't distinguish the codes without clicking in the field and scrolling to the right.  

The Find only responds to the first 7 characters/digits you type in, then jumps to something else as if you had started over with a new code to be found.  Because Florida started all 133 4HCCS codes with "4HCCS ", they are hard to spot, though they appear to be in numeric order after the 4HCCS part. 

Utility

Set Fields to Proper Case Utility-Don't Use it! The Set Fields to Proper Case Utility (under Utility|File Utilities|File) is not useful for changing all uppercase to mixed case for mailing labels. It messes up the address line if it is run on youth2a.db, the member/leader data file. Only the first word of the address is capitalized, the rest are all lowercase. (ex 24 Blue ridge ave. instead of 24 Blue Ridge Ave.)

One county accidentally ran the Set Fields to Proper Case utility on their master project file, youth2c.db and  it changed all their ES237 curriculum project codes to mixed case.  The ES237 summary report did not include them, it seems to require the ES237 project code be all uppercase.

Reports

Window Runs off Screen /Reports Print scrunched

A minimum of 800 x 600 video resolution is needed to see entire Youth Enrollment window on screen, check your video settings if the path is not visible on your main Youth Enrollment screen.  

Do Not set display to Large Fonts--it scrunches rows on printed reports and makes program screens too big to fit on monitor screen.  

Reports need free space on your hard disk while they are being generated and printed.

Report Menu

Email or Attendance List for a CLUB is under Member/Leader Lists (not under Member/Leader by Club):   Report Type "Club Code" and Report Style "E-Mail List" or "Attendance Report".

Project Statistical Report - by Club won't print correctly from Print Preview, it just gives headings with 0s.  Report|Statistical Report|Member/Leader Projects, Club Code & PRINT.

ES-237 Report

p. 1 Sex must be an Uppercase M or F, or youth with m or f is skipped on #1-9.

In Member Query, it was possible to edit Sex to a lowercase m or f, the ES-237 report only counts youth with an uppercase M or F entry for Sex.  An SQL fix has been added to make all sex entries uppercase. M/F toUppercase

p.3, #14 Adult Volunteers by Race and Classification

BUG *Hispanic Female Volunteer Totals with and without Duplicates wrong*
*If you had Hispanic Female Vols, the Total column Totals will also be wrong*

If you run all 3 versions of the ES-237 report and check #14 Adult Volunteer Service by Race and Classification, you will find that both the Individual only (Test Member/Leader data) and the Combined report have incorrect totals for Hispanic Female Adult Volunteers, both with Duplicates and No Duplicates. The errors carry across to the Total column for #14. The individual lines for Direct, Indirect and Middle Manager entries appear to be correct, it is just the totals for Hispanic Females that is wrong. Male Hispanic volunteers appear to total correctly. The Test-Group Data appears to total all Hispanics correctly.

p. 3, #14 Category=Other counting as Adult Volunteers

BUG Although the Category Other is not supposed to be counted anywhere on the ES237, if you indicated a Volunteer Type for someone in the Other category, they are included in #14.

p. 3 #15 Youth Volunteers by Race and Classification

BUG #1 *Youth Volunteers skipped* Direct Volunteer shows marked on Member/Leader screen but False on ES237 Verification Report

A bug  in the November 15, 1999 ver. 2.0 Youth Enrollment program (possibly still present in Feb. 23, 2000 update) caused Youth Leaders to display on the Member/Leader screen with Direct Volunteer Type marked (by default when Youth Leader box was checked) but on the ES237 Verification Report for Members, the DV column showed False and they were skipped on the ES237 report itself.

BUG #2 *Counted as a Youth Volunteer, p. 3 #15, but Not Marked as Youth Leader*

Some Youth who are not actually Youth Leaders are being counted as Direct Volunteers and showing up here.  The source of this problem is currently unknown, but your data will need to be corrected, where it has occurred.  If the Youth Leader box on Member/Leader screen is not marked, no Leader Type should be registering for that Member. On the ES237 Verification, YL shows N, but DV shows T.  (JrLdr on Member Query shows False, DirVol shows True).

Windows 2000 upgrade - don't do it, XP upgrade either 

Blue Ribbon will not run correctly on a machine that had its operating system upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000.  MarTech says that machines who have an original installation of Windows 2000 work okay, but if you're currently running Windows 95 or 98, don't buy the software to upgrade to Windows 2000. There are evidently bugs in that upgrade that cause some nasty software conflicts. (This is WINDOWS 2000, not Office 2000).  
Windows XP upgrade had similar problems, recommendation is to wipe hard drive and do full install of Windows XP Professional.

Windows ME Millennium

Only November 14, 2000, version 2.1 - 2.3 versions of Youth Enrollment will run correctly on Windows ME.  With version 2.4, MarTech no longer guarantees the program will run correctly, although the date version through May 04, 2004 seem ok.  The July 12, 2004 date version of v2.4, it may not run--it was compiled with a Delphi 7 and seems to need more Processor and RAM.  

Backup Reminder- how to get rid of it

Are you still receiving those annoying "Do you want to back up now?" messages, even though there's no longer an option for them on the Preferences screen? If so, here are the instructions for "fixing" that. Be careful not to make any OTHER changes to Winyouth.ini:

Look for Winyouth.ini inside the C:\Program Files\Youth Enrollment folder. Double click on it, and it will open in notepad (ini extension is a special type of plain text file). Look for [Backup]. Under there is the word Auto, change this to say Auto=0 instead of Auto=1. Save and close Winyouth.ini. You won't get prompted to backup any more.
