INSTRUCTIONS:
Scroll down until you reach your current version (shown in bottom left of program window). Then work
your way back up implementing any database changes or other instructions as you go.
Changes to the exe are cumulative, so
you just need to copy across this from the most recent zip file to your local machine.

DATABASE CHANGES:
If you using the default Access format database these changes will be done
automatically the first time you run this new version of the helpdesk.
All you need to do is copy the lbedbconvert.sql file from the update zip
into the desktop helpdesk installation folder on one of your machines.
It will run the first time you run the helpdesk, then automatically
delete the lbedbconvert.sql file.
If you are running MS Sql or Oracle, you will need to run the appropriate
scripts below. If are not sure how to do so, please contact LBE.

Database Changes
================
If you using the default Access format database these changes will be done
automatically the first time you run this new version of the helpdesk.
All you need to do is copy the lbedbconvert.sql file from the update zip
into the desktop helpdesk installation folder on one of your machines.
It will run the first time you run the helpdesk, then automatically
delete the lbedbconvert.sql file.

2. Modifications to the database. If your are upgrading an earlier database, you will have to run the following queries:
ACCESS
======
The update zip file should contain a file name lbedbconvert.sql. Copy this to the same folder as you installed Lbe Desktop Helpdesk. The next time you run the helpdesk, it will automatically convert the database, then delete the lbedbconvert.sql. If you have more than one database, you will need to repeat this procedure for each one.
If you can't find the lbedbconvert.sql file, you can create a new file in notepad containing the following lines and save it as lbedbconvert.sql in the same folder as your helpdesk installation:
ALTER TABLE system add column escntfyop bit, escntfyeml text(255) null
UPDATE SYSTEM set escntfyop = 1
DELETE FROM opwindowsetting where winname = 'FRMODUJOBSEMAIL'
ORACLE
======
Run the following scripts:
ALTER table system add escntfyop number (1,0) DEFAULT (1);
ALTER table system add escntfyeml varchar2(255);
UPDATE SYSTEM set escntfyop = 1;
DELETE FROM opwindowsetting where winname = 'FRMODUJOBSEMAIL';
