If you are UPDATING TATEMS on a NETWORK you will need to re-link to the data file after the update by going to

Tools->Networking

If you go to Tools ->Networking before updating you will be able to see where the data file is located. Write down the path and then use that information after the update to re-link to the data file.

NOTE BELOW IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

You should always update TATEMS on every workstation on your network, one after another, not at the exact same time... and don't allow any users to use an old version after an update has been done on any workstation on the network. It will cause data to not update properly!!

That's all you need to.

Thanks Again.
