Read only files Some times files become read only while being installed. None of the files should be read only. If you get any errors like the program is unable to write information to your Psion go through the program files to see if some of them are read only. In the system-view you can open the file property window by selecting (highlighting) a file and pressing Ctrl-P. In the property window you can see and set/clear the read only checkbox. 2. Copying between C and D Be very careful when you move or copy applications between the C and D drives. It seems that the Psion is not correctly updated when applicaions are copied from C to D or vice versa. Always delete the application directory from one drive before reinstalling on the other drive. Upgrade: -------- When upgrading from a previous version of Invoice Manager do not overwrite the file "Invoice.dbf". This file contains all your registered invoice information. When upgrading from a version 1.4 or lower the "Invoice.dbf" file will be upgraded to version 2.0 making it unusable with previous versions of the program. To upgrade the Invoice.dbf file from version 2.0 to version 2.2 please execute the IMUPG22.OPO file. You can place it anywhere on your Psion and delete it after use. To upgrade the Invoice.dbf file from version 2.2 to version 2.3 please execute the IMUPG23.OPO file. You can place it anywhere on your Psion and delete it after use.
