10/7/2008 - Database Backup and Repair Utility:
This application, which resides in the application folder
("DBUtility.exe"), can be run at the end of the day to backup your
data to a backup directory created under the Phone Log application folder. This
database can then be used if necessary to replace the original
"Phonelog3.mdb" file in case of corrupted data or other reasons. It
is important that you make backups regularly.
On the "Backup" option, you can select the
"Increment" check box to automatically create a new folder by
month and day.
You can now import your contact data into the Phone Log contact
database. You may import a .CSV text
file which must match the sample file ("contacts.csv"). This allows you ability to export your
contact list from other applications and import the data to Phone Log. This utility is available free for those who
purchased Phone Log.
Version 6.0.5:

"X", it did not correctly shut down Phone Log. If you used the Ctrl-Q
or File | Exit or the exit button these closed the application correctly.

be used to determine what users have Phone Log running.
Easy install for the desktop short cuts from the Phone Log network path.
Run "CreateShortCut.exe" creates the icons which run from the server
or network path.
An added check to allow only one instance of Phone Log running on the
computer so only one database connection is used.
Version 6.0.3:
Added 2 new find options - 'First Name' and 'Call For'
When application opened automatically positioned at last record.
Configurable screen titles on the call screen only. However, this does
not affect reports titles. This is configured by editing

What’s New in Phone Log version 6
In
version 6 a new option has been added to allow you to use a
"Contacts" database. To use this you select from the menu
"Setting | Use Contact List Lookup". Some users of Phone Log have
wanted a contacts list they can link the calls to. While others do not want to
enter all contact information as they may an existing contacts database and are
concerned only with the call data itself. This new option allows the user to
use either method. By selecting the "Use Contact List Lookup", when
you enter a new call the caller information will be automatically pre-filled
from "Contacts" database. If you use the contact list when entering a
new call you need to enter the contact data first. This is so you can link the
call to that contact person. If you choose not use the Contact List any
previous calls by that same Acct/Ref number will be used to pre-fill the caller
information. You may still use the "Contacts" database without use
the lookup feature if you desire.
From
the Contacts screen you can click the button to show all the calls related to
that person. From the main Calls screen you can click the "Contacts"
buttons to show detail of that contact. This way you can easily see related
data from either screen.
There
are many new features in version 6. A new "Call
For" field for those offices who want to assign calls to specific people.
You can then sort by this field and find all the calls related. There are also
new reports for both the contacts and "Call For" selections.
Improvements
to screen display and tool bar allowing for quick access to functions, security
of the database has been included to protect the contact information being
accessed outside of the application plus more.
The
call list grid display has also been completely revised. You can now drag and
drop columns in different positions, use the "Splitter" to hold the
data you want to see on one side while scrolls across, and odd/even color
scheme for easier reading.
Download and try version 6! If you have a
previous version of Phone Log, uninstall it from the "Control panel |
Add/Remove Programs" before installing the new version.
