Version History

3.3.0 (Current version)

Main release of document metadata. See comments on prerelease version 3.1.0.

3.2.0

Release of the version for Outlook 2003.

3.1.0 (Prerelease)

Database has been expanded to include document metadata. The general section consists of the document number, the autodefined number for the folder that the document is within, and a document type.

The rest of the metadata is user defined, and its structure is created by an administrator for each document type.

The metadata is filled in by the regular user on a per-document basis, in a control that displays the data like a "property grid".

"Properties" from one document type is automatically transferred to the new type when the type is changed, the transferral is done depending on name and data type.

The progam actions can be intercepted by a specialized DLL that does whatever changes are deemed nessecary.

This change greatly enhances Document Centre as a document storage system, and combined with the dynamic content in new documents; will serve whatever the routines your company has for dovument handling; to full extent.

3.0.5

Increased support for Tasks. You may now be able to view task owner, due date, subject and percent finished on tasks.

3.0.4

Increased support for Tasks. You may now have one or more task folders in each project, and the tasks will display normally.

3.0.3

Internal release.

3.0.2

Fixed a problem with the installer for Office 2003.

Introduced a new menu item on the File menu in DocCentre Admin, "Test Installation", that will bring up dialogs describing any errors in Outlook.

Fixed a bug where user customized data was not saved automatically when pressing the "Save" icon. (But it was saves when clicking a different tab).

3.0.1

Fixed a problem with reading in non-active Projects.

Added a new menu item under the Help menu, "Check for Updates". This option will check the download area for nessecary updates, and inform you if you need to update Document Centre.

3.0.0

Converted Document Centre to an Outlook Add-in. This approach gets rid of the many security warnings you got from Outlook previously.

This also means that integration between Outlook and Document Centre now is even closer, and e.g. Contacts are now almost entirely stored in Outlook.

All program source has at the same time been converted from Visual Basic .NET to C# .NET. This is mostly to the programmers advantage, and won't show externally. (You may still write your extensions in Visual Basic if you want to, however.)

On-screen tables are now in the native "DataGridView" format. This is done to reduce the number of files to distribute, and simplify the program structure.

2.0.0

Removed all use of the ActiveX table control, and replaced it with a .NET version (both produced by Developer Express Inc.). The ActiveX control is no longer installed.

1.0.6

In this version the Help File and User Manual are improved a lot. An error that occurred if you upsized the data to MS SQL Server is also fixed. ("Yes/No fields" in Microsoft Access are translated to Bit in MS SQL Server, making the search for data fail if you included Boolean fields, as it searched for -1 to represent the value True). Also there are some new options on the help menu.

For those of you that have been looking at the programming examples, there is now a number of new functions in UserClassLibrary. For example, the standard Edit Menu commands now work also for non-textual controls that you place yourself in the code.

The on-screen tables have now been converted to native Microsoft DataGridViews.

1.0.5

Extended the interface against the UserLibrary with more functions: Closing and Closed functions, SaveData function. SaveData is called when the user saves the Project Window, Closing occurs just before the window is closed, and gives you the option of cancelling the close command. The Closed function is called when the window is to be closed, and lets you close any Recordsets, free resources and the like.

Extended the interface against the UserLibrary's constructor with a more general parameter class instead of a Form parameter. The parameter class now contains a Project Form, a Context Menu for RTF fields and a callback function to recalculate enabling of standard menus (primarily the Edit Menu).

1.0.4

Fixed a problem that made it impossible to edit Contact Roles in Document Centre. It is now moved to DocCentre Admin, a new application that replaces DocCentreSetupApp.

Fixed a constellation where Norwegian was never selected, although it was indicated as the default language in the Control Panel. You may now overrule the Control Panel and tell Document Centre which language to use.
