*** INTRODUCING the new VSS
Uninstall Cleaner Utility (version 1.10) released 12/8/11 for Windows Vista and Windows 7
systems***
You will need to run this program to fully
uninstall any version of VSS prior to re-installation of any VSS
product. IF this is not done, then once the new VSS
product is installed, it may appear as if the old product is still
installed and may not work correctly. If this happens, just run this
utility, and you will be all set. You can download this program
here:
http://www.master-logic.com/download/VSSUninstallCleaner.exe.
This new utility is easy and fast to run and will cleanup and
correct older VSS product installs, so you can correctly and
successfully install the new VSS Products. In the past, some people
may have experienced problems upgrading the VSS application on the
newer Windows Operating systems. But now, we have a utility to clean
up the uninstall process and enable you to upgrade those systems.
You will need new instructions to
uninstall the VSS product from some Windows systems, before you
“upgrade” to a newer VSS Product,
DIRECTIONS:
1.
MAKE SURE YOU GET A BACKUP OF ALL
VSS PRODUCTS (BOOKS & MEMBERSHIP) INSTALLED BEFORE UNINSTALLING.
2.
Uninstall VSS the normal way (ie: from the
Start -> All Programs -> Veteran Software Services -> Setup ->
Remove)
3.
Download and Run the Program from the
above link (VSS Uninstall Cleaner.exe), and click the “CLEAN” button
to complete the uninstall.
A.
The normal and usually correct
thing that will happen is you will get all 'CLEANS' listed
4.
A status of “CLEAN” for all products will
indicate that everything is good.
5.
You are ready to re-install any
version of VSS you want.
You can run this utility on any system you
want, even if it does not need it. It will not hurt older systems.
PLEASE GET A BACKUP before doing any thing, so we can fix you up in
case something goes wrong.
VSS User Tips
Listed below is comments that other VSS
users have come up with to make things work easier or better. If you have
a suggestion please send it to us!
- When writing checks from the Bingo Account, you use the Bingo checking
account and a ledger account (audit account) with the proper title for
the bank checking account. For instance, you are writing a check for
bingo supplies you would set up a ledger account for bingo supplies
under the bingo checking account. You then write the check from the
bingo account and charge it to the bingo ledger account called supplies.
That keeps your bingo checking account in balance. You do not have to
put a negative in front of the check as it automatic takes it from the
account.
- When you do an adjustment to an account you have to remember that the
negative is used for the debt account and the positive is used for the
credit account.
- The following documents below are
instructions on how to setup your VSS program to download your Post roster
from National.
-
Import or Update your Post roster into VSS from National
- If the user
has never entered any membership yet,
then the “Import Roster” selection needs to be
used, which leads to the “Import from
National” selection. This would be used instead of the “Update
Roster”, if member data already exists.
- Use "Import Roster from National" if you have never
entered your roster into VSS. (You can only use this import for VSS
programs that have never downloaded this roster into your
system.
- Once your import is done you must use Update Roster from
National to update your roster from now on) ! Use "Update Roster from National" if you have IMPORTED your roster and
need to update it. (Update will make changes to your roster, i.e. add,
change & delete members).
