Upgrading TimeCard for Outlook
‒ ASP reporting option
Three parts need to be upgraded if you upgrade your existing
TimeCard ASP option to version 4.2: Application files, Database structure
and Client Tools.
Application Files
1) First upgrade the TimeCard workgroup folder (which is likely a shared networked folder) by running TimeCardWorkgroupSetup.exe (version 4.02.22 or above).
2) Go to the TimeCard Workgroup folder, and copy and overwrite the following files to the
TimeCard web folder (which is likely under your IIS root folder):
‒ TCCommonSettings.exe
‒
TCReport.asp
‒
TCPlanning.asp
(TCPlanning.asp is a new file, available in
TimeCard WorkGroup version 4.02.22 or later)
Database structure
Run the newly updated TCCommonSettings.exe within
the IIS root folder (most likely you would need to
do this on the Server machine) and Click OK. Doing
this, it will upgrade your old database to the new
specification. Your existing data will be
unaffected.
These are the upgrades made to the database (either the TimeCard3.mdb (Access) or TimeCard3SQL (in SQL Server):
‒ In the table tblReports, there is a new field added 'strLocation'.
‒ There is a new table added, 'tblPlanning'.
Client tools upgrade
When the workgroup installation is upgraded, every
client needs to run the client tool setup.
If the users have access to the shared folder where
TimeCard was initially installed, from each client machine, go into the
TimeCard root file folder on the network drive and run the file TimeCardClientSetup.exe.
If the users do not have access to the shared folder,
the administrator can put the client tool installer in a web folder
for the users (or e mail them as an attachment). In
that case, use the files TimeCardClientSetup.exe and TCCT.exe.
Both files should be copied to the client system and then the TimeCardClientSetup.exe
should be run to install the client tools.
