Change Grid's Concatenated Sorting The concatenated sorting of each grid has been disabled as it was not required by the nature of the data presented.
Back to Top
Change DB File Extension Change The application database file extension has been changed from .accdb to .DTA.
The upgrade will automatically handle the file re-naming, the new database file name is now: McConnections.DTA

NOTE: having the file extension .DTA will force the standard Sage Back-up process to also include McConnections.DTA
this way the user does not need to remember to also back-up the McConnections database.

The built-in Back-up database option has been removed as it would be obsolete, furthermore, the McConnections database without the Sage data is of no use.

Change Label Changes Every instance of the word McDonalds has been changed to McDonald's.
