Q14846 - INFO: Database Upgrade 8.4.8

With the release of WIMS Client 8.4.8 a database upgrade is required.  The upgrade is automatically applied when logging into a Facility Database for the first time with the WIMS 8.4.8 client. 

Updates all Spread Reports to use cell type number instead of float.  Cell type floats could not be properly exported to Excel.  Depending on the number and size of reports this can take several minutes.  NOTE: The upgrade will only be run once for each facility database. 

You will receive the following message indicating the reports have not been updated to 8.4.8:

Click OK and the upgrade will proceed.  As reports are upgraded, progress is logged to hachwims\client\log\UpdateFacilityDB848_FACILNAME___mm_dd_yyyy__hh_mm.log.

NOTE: Reports that fail the upgrade will be skipped.  Reports can be individually upgraded using the Fix Num Cells button on the File Ribbon in Spread Report Design.
