Instructions
for upgrading to EasyTrak2001 version 5.9.9.140 (February 2001)
- Start
EasyTrak.
- Be
sure EasyTrak is working properly.
- Make
a backup of the EasyTrak database to a floppy disk.
- Still
inside EasyTrak, select “Utilities,” then “Set Database Location.”
Write down the information in the “Database Path” box for your
Easytrak.gdb data file. (You will need this in step 8-c.) Left-click on
“Cancel.”
- Exit
EasyTrak
- Close
all running programs, including any virus protection software.
- Run
ScanDisk.[i]
- On
your computer’s hard drive (usually “C:”), create a new folder[ii]
named “ECD.”
- Place
your new CD in the drive and copy[iii]
it’s entire contents to the ECD folder.
- Go
to the folder “C:\ECD” and locate the file “setup599140.”
(It may show as “setup599140.exe.”) Double-click on this file and it
will install the update. You will have to answer several questions during
the install. Just accept the default responses. You should not have to
change any of the settings.
- Still
in the folder “C:\ECD,” locate the file “TANF.” (It may show as “TANF.gdb.”)
Right click this file and select “Properties.” Make sure the only
checked box is the “Archive” box. Make any necessary changes and
“Apply” the changes and close the properties window.
- Go
to your import utility. (This is the program used to merge your data from
your offices into your central computer. It should be in the
“C:\Easytrak32\Data” directory and be named EasyImport.)
- Double-click
on the “EasyImport” file. (It may show as “EasyImport.exe.”)
- Select
“C:\ECD\TANF.gdb” as the file from which you will
extract data.
- Enter
the path and file name from step 3-c. (It probably is “C:\Easytrak32\Data\Easytrak.gdb”
as the file that will receive the data. (Note the default file that
appears is EasytrakNEW.gdb. You must change it to the
correct file name.)
- Click
on “Start Import.”
- When
finished, close the window.
- You
now need to copy two files from the “C:\ECD” folder into the
“C:\EasyTrak32\Data” folder. These files are “EasyImport” and “EasyUploadClient.”
(They both may show with the “.exe” extension.)
- The
other items in the “ECD” folder are Acrobat Reader[iv]
files (“.pdf” extensions) and contain the manuals for EasyTrak. You can
use them where they are or you may move them to a new folder with a name
that will be easy to remember.
- Restart
EasyTrak. PLEASE NOTE: The first time you run EasyTrak after installing the
update you must register the program as follows:
- The
first time you run EasyTrak a register screen will pop up. (Note that the
second line (the blue writing) says “Social Services/CSBG/ROMA
Module.”)
- Enter
“STATE OF GEORGIA” in the “Registration Name:” box.
- Enter
your password in the “Password:” box.
- Do
not enter anything in the “Extra Key:” box.
- Left-click
on the “Register” button. NOTE: The register screen will reappear
with a second line of “Energy Assistance Module.” Do not enter
anything, simply left-click on the “X” in the upper right-hand corner
of the register screen to close it.
- Shut
down and restart the computer and check the operation of EasyTrak. This is
the time to verify system settings and make any administrative changes
needed.
This should complete your upgrade. Don’t forget to get
your CD from the computer. If you have any questions concerning these
