The new Build #383 is announced at the beginning of a long thread that is a sticky at the top of this forum, and was about Build #381. If you have already read some of that thread, and revisit it, you will jump toward the end of the thread and miss the point. Go back and re-read the FIRST post, where Andrew has announced the new build #383.

Yikes - it's #384 now.

That's Matt.

I think Andrew should start a new thread if indeed it is a new patch.


OK, a random thought;

Matt, After 4 years of saving a new patch to the correct folder, I discovered today that it still has to be installed manually to be effective. More clarification on that point is needed. And thank you Peter Gannon for the fix on the Print Summary (Bar #) Report.-----Leon

Matt, they call it a Beta. Do you install it anyway or wait for the full release?

Oh, that's been pretty standard procedure for awhile. I just install these updates. I've never been disappointed.

I read the list of improvements and updates and decided I didn't know what half of that stuff was or it has never affected me so...... I probably don't need to bother with the patch.

But thanks for making me aware there is a patch should I ever encounter those problems.

Good call, Matt. I almost ignored Andrews post.

Thanks!

Nooo, bad idea. Always install the updates asap when they're announced. There's usually arcane technical stuff in them they don't bother announcing because none but a total geek would understand what it is they did. Some of those may not have anything to with what you as a user would see, it could involve simply making everything work better/faster/slicker, whatever.
