Button to print current browse Additional colour scheme information on the main browse, indicating auto reductions etc. New installations include drug list Improved behaviour if Windows shutdown with ScriptBase running Database engine upgraded, more solid so hopefully fewer corruption problems Fix tables improved 3.05 Jan / Feb. 2000 · Fixed y2k problem · Speed improvements 3.04 August 99 Improvements to user interface, e.g.: · Client name remains static on browse so always visible. · Check Scripts Utility added to housekeep and check scripts are valid scripts. · Added colour coding of Rx belonging to current worker. · Added quick key commands to the browse (using CTRL + letter of the command). Added Quick restore utility to compliment the Quick Backup utility. Network support improved, with Network requirements removed for standalone version. Solved bug causing records to disappear after printing a single Rx. Solved bug causing Pharmacy and Dr information to be lost from Rx record. Solved bug causing error (ADDR missing) if Rx printed for client without an address. Access violation errors believed to be solved. EInoutError 32 error believed to be solved. 3.03 July 99 Editing script no longer requires redrawing the browse, resulting in huge improvements in operating speed File repair utility added, to fix any file corruption problems. Custom Scripts improved: · Wording of variable dose and daily dispense custom Rx splits dispensing information from client dosage instruction, so that a reduction regime can extend over Pharmacy close days. · Pharmacy closure date handling improved for all Custom and variable dose Rx. · Date edit defaults to logical next date on blank dates and invalid dates, making the writing of Custom scripts much easier. Fixed bug in Custom Rx when using decimal dose drugs. Password protection of Rx print run, can be turned off from the options / preferences page. Backup Utility interface improved and simplified. Quick Backup utility added, which performs a standard data backup to A: with no messing. Problems with Jotter fonts fixed. 3.02 June 99 Ability to change signing Dr at print time. Where drugs have a standard unit size, limit doses to multiples of that unit. Added Number of units to script wording (e.g. 10 tablets) Setting to put worker initials onto scripts Network locks developed, making ScriptBase network friendly not just compatible. Remove locks utility, to enable end user to fix after network crashes Fixed 'sde32.dll' missing error. 3.01a May 99 Fixed bug in the option to delete script. Fixed bug in the installation routine which used the wrong directory. 3.01 May 99 ScriptBase re-written from the ground up in Borland Delphi. Incomplete feature set, rushed out as a first draft for the April 99 target. Labels for the print run backup utility initial reports. ScriptBase 2 - 2.1 - 1991 to 1998 ScriptBase 2 was a DOS based program written in Clipper, an xBase derivative language. This version (2.01 being the last release) sold over 40 copies until the end of 1998. In the last year, the program was released as effectively free, as the dreaded Year 2000 bug meant the writing was on the wall for this version. Technology had also moved on, and it was no longer realistic to update and maintain this version. Additional, the NHS Executive announced in December 1998 that the prescription forms for interval dispensing would be changed the following year. I therefore decided to rewrite ScriptBase from the ground up, introducing features and technologies learnt about in the previous 8 years of the DOS version. Understanding Version Numbers The first number (currently 3) is the main version of ScriptBase. · The 01 indicates minor version. This increments with each version indicating that new functions have been added. · The letter (in this case 'a') indicates a bug fix release. So 3.01a has been upgraded just to fix a bug in 3.01. | ||||
