    Upgrade to RE 7.85

    Has anyone made the shift from RE 7.84 to 7.85?  Any problems with the installation or actually using the new version?

    I've been waiting for someone's positive reply  Smile

    Have you done your update? I really want some of the features of 7.85 so we've told our (outsourced) IT guy to run the update for us.  He hasn't gotten to us yet.  Am hoping it will go well.  (I didn't get a response either when I asked earlier so maybe no one is updating??)

    We will be updating to 7.85 early next week.  I'll let you know if we encounter anything.  I did work with another client who is using it and the new folder-query feature is handy.  Note that while you can't drop-drag queries into folders, you can right-click and put them in catagories that way - so I anticipate an hour worth of organizing to make life easier.

     I usually wait to see if there are features that I really need before updating.  Also, due to security rights, the deploy feature requires me to be available in case some staff have limited permissions (with our network - i.e., installing programs - not RE permissions).  So that's a few hours of being available that I have to allot for.

     Regards,

    Joe

    No, not yet.  We ran out of time last week and probably won't get to until next week sometime.  I'm hoping that the lack of response means that all is well.

    Yesterday, we downloaded RE 7.85, so far so good - mail merges process and financial reports balance!  I agree, the new category feature in query is very nice, a right-click away and you're organized!

    Best,

    Paula
