Updating the Database

After activating the database, check for updates occasionally to get the latest bug fixes and enhancements.

Set a prompt to check for updates when starting the application under Admin > Options > System Reminders.

Follow the steps below to download the Update Executable:

1.	From the Main Window's menu bar, select Help > Check for updates... (Admin users only).

Non-Admin users will not get the pop-up reminder or see the "Check for updates..." menu item.

2.	In the confirmation dialog, click Check for updates now to communicate with Leffler Systems to see if updates are available. (An Internet connection is required.)

If a warning appears from a firewall software, such as Norton, McAfee, or Microsoft, choose Always Allow from the options to allow AWdb to access the Internet now and on future occasions.

The Account and Update Information dialog opens. The Account Information shows the Account Status and the Contact Information on file. To change the contact information, use the Comments field to indicate changes. For older versions of the database, instructions are provided for downloading and applying the update. For newer versions, simply click Apply the Update.

Detailed instructions, including a video, are available on the forum.
