Download the Traffic Light update here Version 1.3e — August 28, 2010 (687K). This is a self-extracting EXE file that can be downloaded into a temp folder and run or you can run from the web page by using the Microsoft Internet Explorer and choosing the 'Run' option instead of the 'Save' option. It uses the same setup routine as the full program. Just accept the default install location. It finds this path from the Windows Registry. Every time the Traffic Light runs, it writes the path into the Registry. NOTE: You cannot install the update if an older version of the Traffic Light is running. Close the Traffic Light before installing the update.
What’s New in Version 1.3e – August 28, 2010
Master Menu: Removed labels for separate modules in the original
DOS version. These modules are combined with other modules in the Windows version.
Billing Logs Total Module: Added a printout routine to the 'Spots Ran When'
routine. Prints up to 200 spots per page.
What’s New in Version 1.3d – June 11, 2010
Start Order Module: Some of the fields (the Priority was one) when modified, were not saved the first time, but had to be saved twice. This was fixed. Also replaced the default Microsoft Sans Serif font with the Arial font in the Start Order module as well as several of the other most used modules. The Arial font displays with a much sharper image that does not have the jagged "doorstep" edges associated with the MS Scans Serif font.
What’s New in Version 1.3c – March 31, 2010Main Option Menu: Added new option for Canadian
users to add their Federal Tax and Provincial Tax. (Two different taxes)
Invoice Generator Module: Added printouts and displays for the above
option.
Automation File Module: Made the Spot File Display full width of
screen. Had been reduced to 3/4 screen width for testing and did not ruturn to full width.
What’s New in Version 1.3b – March 11, 2010
Format Maintenance Module: Changed the font on the
buttons from MS San Serif to Arial which is a smoother font.
Invoice Generator and Statement Printer Modules: Added provisions for
using the 3rd station heading info when printing invoices and statements. Earlier versions
only handled two stations using the Traffic Light. Now all three
stations are supported.
What’s New in Version 1.3a – March 8, 2010
Options Module: The Accounting Codes were being
saved, but to the wrong filename. Therefore, the existing 7 accounting codes were being
used instead of the new ones added or edited. This was fixed.
Customer Maintenance Module: In the Edit mode, the Accounting Code number was being
displayed. Added the name to the display after the number.
What’s New in Version 1.3 – February 4, 2010
Projection Module: Added a new button named "Unsold Spots". This is a routine that will display and/or print the unsold spots in a range of future dates. Many of the updates or new features are a result of user requests or suggestions.
What’s New in Version 1.2b - October 13, 2009
A/R Transactions - A/R Update Module: Added totals to the print out of the Transaction File
Automation File Creation: Added support for the TuneTracker Automation System.
Full Log Editor: The rejected spots window did not have the start and end times in the proper column. The information was there but not aligned. Note: The file format for the Reject.txt was changed. Editing an existing log with the Full Log Editor with the old reject file format will result in a Run Time Error 6. The log will have to be regenerated.
Help Files: Added ten Step-by-Step Help files to get new users started. Access these from the Help label at the top of the Master Menu screen.
What’s New in Version 1.2a - Septeber 10, 2009
Billing Log Totals: The Billing Code for the TempBilling
files is now obtained from the Start Order. In the past, it was obtained from the
Billing Logs. This means that if you have the Billing Code wrong in the Start Order,
then it will be wrong everywhere. Now by editing only the Start Order to change the
Billing Code, it will also change it for the billing process.
Full Log Editor: Made a change that only applied to one station.
Master Menu: Changed label fonts from the Visual Basic default MS Sans
Serif to the True Type Arial font. This produced a much sharper label.
What’s New in Version 1.2 - August 7, 2009
A/R Reports: An User requested that the 'Detailed Aging Report' have a printout option. This was added.
Automation File Creation: Padded zeroes were added to the sequence numbers in the Log Display routine so that spots in the first 60 minutes of the day would be sorted in order before the title heading. This was causing the first two spots (if they were in the first 60 minutes) to be left off the spot file.
Log Generator: Whenever a Custom Format was chosen, the format would revert back to the default daily format. This was fixed.
What’s New in Version 1.1e - July 27, 2009
A/R Transactions - A/R Update Module: An User noticed that when a Paid On Account
transaction followed a New Invoice transaction that a "Bad Record Number" error
occurred. This combination of transactions was not used in testing and this error has been
fixed.
Automation File Creation: Padded zeroes was added to the Enco Spot File.
What’s New
in Version 1.1d - May 20, 2009A/R Transactions - A/R Update Module: An User noticed that the amounts paid were not being transferred into the Paid On Accounts file. Since the POA module was completed long before the A/R Update, it was not noticed that the transfer routine was not included in the A/R Update. The routine is added in this update.
What’s New in Version 1.1c - May 17, 2009
A/R Transactions - A/R Update Module: An User requested additional info on the A/R Transaction File Display/Printout. Added a list and recap of all payments (Invoice Payments, Paid On Accounts and Pre-Payments). These items were also added to the A/R Update printout (right-click on display) and can be checked against a bank deposit list.
What’s New in Version 1.1b - May 14, 2009
Automation File Module: The Default Automation Format was not being saved in the Config file. Fixed.
What’s New in Version 1.1a - May 13, 2009
Display Paid On Accounts: Added a printout routine for the ‘Display a Range of Records".
What’s New in Version 1.1 - April 22, 2009
Display All Records in A/R: Added background color change routine. Hit F8 key. Added a new balance column and totals at bottom.
Log Generator: In older versions, focus was not on the popup calendar and you had to click to set focus before choosing date. Now just choose date or change the month/year as in the other modules.
Log Printer: One user requested a text file of the daily log to use at the operator’s console instead of using a printed log. Added a check box to make this file named log.txt. The file has a heading with the day of the log.
Automation File Creator: Added routine to make spot file for the Smartcaster System.
What’s New in Version 1.0h - April 2, 2009
Full Log Editor: Replaced the Rejected Spots window with another type window that is more compact and displays more spots. Click on the spot to add and enter the time in the popup box and the screen is refreshed with the spot added. The rejected spot just added is removed from the rejection list.
Log Printer: The last version did not display all the Log Printer screen. The bottom portion was not visible. Fixed.
Options Menu (City Codes): Fixed the SAVE routine. The filename had been changed, but was not updated in the City Codes ‘Save’ routine. Now the City Codes work OK in the adding of new customers.
What’s New in Version 1.0g - March 29, 2009
Added help files for the conversion of the DOS version data files to the Windows version format. Also added a module to view the DOS data files with its help file. This was mainly used in testing, but displays the entire DOS files with a sortable display. Updated the ‘Convert DOS Files’ routine to import all 14 dayparts.
Projection: Corrected a problem in the Projection module for a package-type start order that had already expired. This problem would not have effected new users, but would have any ex-DOS users that still had expired start orders on file.
Start Order: Removed the unused dayparts from the Start Order display. The previous versions would display the ‘0000000’ and blank times ‘0000’ for unused dayparts. This gives a cleaner look.
Full Log Editor: Added routine to return log to same display after adding a rejected spot. Previous versions, refreshed log to start at the beginning. Now the added spot appears in view.
Added a routine to change the background color on most of the full-screen modules. Hit the F8 key to display the color selection chart. Custom colors are available from this chart. Hit the Save button to save to the color.cfg file. The color change will take effect on re-starting the program.
Format Maintenance: Somehow the time display stopped working. The sequence (or event) number is converted into the time for the display. The Format creation still worked, but the time was missing which aids in deciding where to put Avails.
Plus other small tweaks
