***IMPORTANT*** - Information if upgrading from PWSMoney V4.0 Build 766 or lower.

From Build 767 onwards PWSMoney has a slightly modified Categories table structure.

If a previous build (766 or lower) of PWSMoney.exe is overwritten by PWSMoney.exe build 767 the following will occur.

1) If existing tables are of the old structure PWSMoney will complain that a 'Field' is missing from the Categories.DBF table & the application will terminate.

Workaround

BACKUP YOUR DATA TO A SAFE LOCATION FIRST USING THE BACKUP / RESTORE FEATURE
FOUND IN THE OPTIONS DIALOG BOX.

1) Copy PWSMoney.exe Build 767 into a new empty folder. Double click to run. PWSMoney
will automatically create empty tables of the correct structure.
2) In the 'Options' dialog box choose the 'Backup / Restore' tab. Select 'User Location' & click the
'Restore Tables' button. Using the ensuing 'Browse for folders' dialog box navigate to your original
folder where the previous version of PWSMoney is installed & click 'OK'.
3) The old data from the previous version of PWSMoney will be imported into the new version.
4) When the import is complete close PWSMoney then select all the files in the new folder & 'cut & paste' them into the original folder that the previous version of PWSMoney was installed into. Choose 'Yes' when asked if you wish to overwrite existing files.
5) Run & Exit PWSMoney 3 times to make sure all the incremental backups have been created using the new table structure (overwriting the old table structure backups).

Explanation

All categories are now categorized as either Income or Expense. So Credit/Debit dialog boxes etc will only display
a filtered amount of categories e.g. credit will only display Income categories & Debit will only display Expense categories.
As Income & Expense was not previously used some category combo boxes may appear blank. To update your categories to either 
Income or Expense they need editing via Manage Accounts - View / Edit Supplier Details & categories. Select either the
Income or Expense radio button & click OK to update. This will be required for all categories.

Thanks for using PWSMoney.
