    New features:
        Modified all date/time usage (Checkout time, Message time, etc.) to get the current date/time from the WRUSrvr PC instead of using the client PCs clock.  This way all users will be using the same time standard.

        Added the ability to allow the user to add their own check out destinations/reasons.  These items are per user and are displayed in addition to the standard entries.

        Set focus to the Where field after setting the date or time in the CheckOut dialog.

        Upgraded to the latest version of the DBISAM database engine.
      ** Note **
        This upgrade required changing the default ports that the server uses to communicate with the client.  The default ports were 12001 for the WhereRU client and 12002 for the Admin program.  The default ports are now 12005 for WhereRU and 12006 for the Admin program.  All users will need to change the port number to 12005 when they run WhereRU the first time.  Administrators will need to change the Admin port to 12006 and the regular port to 12005 when they run WRUAdmin the first time.

    Fixes, etc.:
        Fixed printing of History report in WRUAdmin program.  Wasn't printing the title and printed only to the default printer.

        Fixed a problem with a blank display if you selected cancel after attempting to exit WhereRU.

        Modified WRUAdmin UserId field to make it readonly and disabled except whe adding a new user.  To change an existing id you will need to add a new user record and delete the old one.

    New features:
        Added F5 as a shortcut key to refresh the display and check for new messages.

        Upgraded to the latest version of the DBISAM database engine.

    Fixes, etc.:
        Fixed a problem installing the trial version in a NEW installation.  If you install and run the WhereRU client on the same PC as the server it runs correctly.  However, if you install the client on another PC you get the following messages when running the program: "Server properties have not been entered yet! Please enter the correct settings in the next window to continue!" then after entering the correct setting you get the following: "The Administrator must run the WRUAdmin program to set up the Trial Certificate and data files before you can run this program." and the program shuts down.

        Fixed a "Closed Dataset" error when you opwn the WhereRU window after minimizing it with the My Messages window open.

        Modified the instsrvc.bat file to install the WhereRU server as a service using the \NOINTERACT parameter.  This prevents a lockup if the administrator logs out of the Windows 2000/NT/XP server while the WhereRU server is running.  This requires that you run the uninstsrvc.bat file to uninstall WhereRU as a service and re-run the instsrvc.bat file to re-install the service using the new parameters.

Version 4.0.4.173, 04/08/2002:

        ** NOTE **  This new version of DBISAM requires a new format for the data files.  Once this version is installed ALL users MUST upgrade to this version.  The existing data files are not compatible with the new version.  Once the Administrator has installed this version they must run the WRUAdmin program immediately.  This will update the existing data files to the new format (NO DATA WILL BE LOST).  Then each user MUST run the client setup to install the new WhereRU client.

    New features:
        Modified the registration procedure to eliminate the need for each user to have to register the WhereRU client after the program has been purchased.  Now each client automatically reads the WRUCert.lic file and sets the registration parameters each time it is run.

        Added a new "Update Check Out Info" feature that allow you to modify the check out information for a selected user.

        Redesigned how user check in/out notifications are displayed.

        Modified the program to prevent it from shutting down if it is unable to connect to the data files.  Now it disables any data entry capability but stays running and will attempt to reconnect at the next refresh cycle.

        Modified the "Do you want to check in" dialog box to make sure it stays on top during Windows startup.

        Added a Tracking History feature.  The Administrator can now turn on Tracking to log when users check in or out.  This can be viewed, printed, managed from the Admin program.

        Modified the WRUAdmin program to allow the administrator to decide whether to display phone numbers with US formatting or use no formatting at all.

        Upgraded to the latest version of the DBISAM database engine.
        ** NOTE **  This new version of DBISAM requires a new format for the data files.  Once this version is installed ALL users MUST upgrade to this version.  The existing data files are not compatible with the new version.  Once the Administrator has installed this version they must run the WRUAdmin program immediately.

        Fixed a "Cannot perform this operation on a closed dataset" error when trying to set a notification from the SysTray Icon when the main window is minimized.

        Added help information concerning setup on a Windows 2000 system.

        Modified to prevent the application from opening the data files when in trial mode and there are more than 25 users in the database.

        Fixed a DBISAM 8708 error when attempting to add/edit a message for yourself.

        Fixed a floating point error if the local Windows number setting used something other than a decimal point as the decimal separator (International).

        Added option to redisplay the startup and shutdown alerts after having turned them off.
        Increased the Check Out dialog timeout from 1 minute to 3 minutes.

        Added uninstall feature to the Network Admin. Install procedure.

        Add new Global Notification feature to allow users to set Notify options on selected users at one time.

Version 3.3.2.126, 07/11/2000:
        Upgraded to the latest version of the DBISAM database engine.
        ** NOTE **  This new version of DBISAM requires a new format for the data files.  Once this version is installed ALL users MUST upgrade to this version.  The existing data files are not compatible with the new version.  Once the Administrator has installed this version they must run the WRUAdmin program immediately.  This will update the existing data files to the new format (NO DATA WILL BE LOST).  Then each user MUST run the client setup to install the new WhereRU client.

        Fixed a problem with the Notify feature that caused erroneous notification messages to be displayed for a user even though they hadn't checked in or out.

        Fixed a problem where if the network connection to the data files is lost a repeating error message is displayed and the only way to terminate the program is to End Task.  Added exception handling to display a message then gracefully shut the program down.

Version 3.3.0.120, 06/07/2000:
        Added new Notification feature.  This feature displays a message when selected users check in or out.  You can select which users to track and whether you want to be notified when they check in or out or both.  This works in conjunction with the automatic refresh feature.  When the WhereRU display refreshes it will check the selected users and display the appropriate message.

        The Filter button on the toolbar now cycles through the filters (All, In, Out) instead of just showing all users.  Ctrl-F is the shortcut key for this now.

        Implemented a new grid in List View that now shows graphical check marks for Out and Comments columns and a bell icon in the Notify column.

        Fixed Print List printout to correctly show marks in the Out, Comments, and Notify columns.

        Widened the Check Out dialog Return Time field and the Options dialog Start of Day field to fully display the time when a 12 hour format is used.

        Fixed display of several dialogs on PCs set to 800x600 with Large Fonts.  Dialogs wouldn't quite fit on the screen.  Modified the dialogs to fit.

        Fixed running WhereRU on a multi-monitor system.  It would initially display centered between the monitors instead of centered on one of the monitors.  Now defaults to displaying on the primary monitor.

        Fixed slow opening of Option Dialog, Login Dialog, and Global Messaging Select Users Dialog.

        Fixed "Closed Dataset" error when opening the Global Messaging Select Users Dialog.

        Added 'security' to the WRUAdmin program.  The program now reads the WhereRU datapath as specified in the Options dialog and uses that to locate the data.  Now the Administrator can move the WRUAdmin.* files to a location not accessible to all users.

Version 3.2.2.115, 05/22/2000 (Special Build):
        Modified checking system clock to fix a problem with some PCs getting a "System clock has been moved back" error message and termination of the program.

Version 3.2.1.110, 03/27/2000:
        Added Check Out on Exit option.  If the user is not checked out when they quit the program, it will now ask if they want to check out.  If so the Check Out dialog is displayed.  This option is controlled in the Options dialog.

        Access violation if clicking on SysTray Icon menu items when the Administrative Alert dialog was open.  Disabled SysTray Icon when Alert dialog is opened.

        When checking out with the current minutes between 36 and 59 the default checkout time ends up adding an additional hour.  Fixed this condition.

        Modified to close the datafiles whenever WhereRU is minimized.  This reduces network traffic and lessens the likelihood of files getting corrupted if a user's PC crashes.

        Added a "Qtr hour (15 min)" option to the Check Out Return In Approx. combobox and Options dialog.  This allows the user to check out for a 15 minute break.  This option does not round the minutes to the next hour or half hour, it just adds 15 minutes.  ***NOTE: Due to the adding of this choice as the first one in the list it will cause the user's default check out increment to be incorrect.  Each user must go into the Options dialog and reset the Return In increment to the desired value.

        Added a new customizable work week feature.  This allows the user to select which days of the week they normally work.  Used by the "Gone for the Day" checkout feature to determine the next business day.

Version 3.1.0.103, 02/24/2000:
        Added new "Administrative Alerts" feature.  This allows the administrator to define alert messages which are displayed when WhereRU is started or when it is exited.

        Modified the Global Messaging Select Users dialog to close after sending the message.

        "Search by Lastname" control now displays matched text as you type and the search is faster.

        All comboboxes now use a "Quicken" style display of the matching value by simultaneously searching and
        displaying the matching text in the control.

        Check Out dialog Return Date control now has an enhanced Calendar display when you click on the arrow button.
        You can click on the year to get a list of the next 10 years, click on the month to see a list of months.  Click
        on the "Today" entry at the bottom to select today's date.

        Check Out dialog Return Time control is easier to change the time.  Seconds are no longer displayed, time can be
        typed directly or use the up/down or + - keys.

        Added Registered To label to the Splash screen.

        Added Registered To label to the WRUAdmin main window.

        Moved the writing of Option information from the WRUData.Destroy to the WRUMain.FormCloseQuery event.  This helps prevent inaccurate option information from getting saved to the registry.

Version 3.0.0.99, 1/26/2000:

        Upgraded DBISAM engine to latest version - 1.21.

        Filter was not always being saved correctly when exiting WhereRU - Fixed.

        Modified About dialog.

        Added references to ShareIt! Purchasing Agent and our web site.
