8) Added the ability to scan the Magnetic Stripe or 2D Barcode (PDF417) of a Driver's License to quickly input the Guest information.
9) After 15 years of a No Maintenance Fees approach, we have had to require a yearly Maintenance Fee. The yearly fee will be $100 and include any software updates, additional 5 hours of support (if there are software issues being addressed, these hours are not counted), and if needed, you will be able to get a Replacement License for a new computer (once a year). Not remitting your yearly Maintenance Fee will result in the Software failing to run. The due Date is 90 days from the install of this version for purchases which are from more than a year ago ... for purchases of less than a year ago, your Maintenance due date will be a year from your purchase anniversary date. This is NOT currently turned on.
This was something we have been avoiding, but we can't continue to support this for nothing. Thanks for your understanding. Please contact us with any issues.

Version 3.5.25 (07-09-2016)
Enhancements:

4) Added a new Guest Rate option "Bill Extra Days" for Weekly and Monthly Guests that need to extend their stay by a few days and the Park doesn't want to prorate their Bill. They want to charge the Weekly rate plus the Daily rate for the extra days. This does that for them. - Thanks, Cody
Bugs:

3) Fixed a problem with future reservations for Sites with greater than a 3 character Site Alias.
4) Fixed a problem with allowing a double booking if you didn't Save and left the Guest panel. If you then used the "The Guest Information May be Different" Save option, the reservation was not being validated. - Thanks, Mike
5) If a POS item quantity has more than 2 characters, you can't print a receipt. Changed to 5 characters. - Thanks Cody
6) Fixed a MAJOR issue with creating a future Guest Reservation ... it was only getting the first 3 characters of the Guest Number which made it associating the reservation with a very early Guest number. Example: a new reservation for Guest number 1443 was being saved as Guest Number 144 ... loosing the last 3. Thanks, Stephanie
Version 3.5.21 (02-12-2016)
Bugs:
1) Fixed a problem in the Edit Billing panel with certain transactions not being accessible.

4) Fixed 2 issues in the Edit Billing Database tool. First the Rent and Electric dollars could not be set to zero (0). Second, the Electric Company was not being passed properly to the Recalculate Electric button, so the Electric Charges were not being calculated. - Thanks, Cody
Version 3.5.18 (01-15-2016)
Enhancements:
1) Added a new feature to the Reservation Grid to Highlight a Date at the top for whatever reason you may have. You set the date (like the first of every month) and select a color that you like.

Version 3.5.14 (11-15-2015)

2) Fixed an issue when creating Sites after deleting a Site. You may need help with database issues if you can't get to a defined Site, just contact us.
3) Added code to fix the Email tools when the Park Name is NOT present. Previously, if the Park Name was left blank (not sure why ... ) any of the Email capability would not work.
4) Fixed a problem with updating the database to support the Group Reservation capability. The error was created when you tried to save the event information.
Version 3.5.12 (10-16-2015)

4) Added the option to change a Guest's Previous Balance amount by clicking the "Prev Balance" text in the Guest panel and then using the Database Password.
Bugs:
1) Fixed a problem in using multiple quantities of "Other Charges" in the Guest Panel when Billing a Guest. If you used anything other than "1" in the quantity field of the 5 Other Charges, your Saved Other Charge amount data will only be for ONE of the items. This is fixed, but any previous Guest Billing with multiple quantities will only be for ONE, not the actual quantity entered. The Total amount will be correct, just not the individual Other Charge total. Thanks, Dena

Bugs Fixed:
1) Fixed an issue with the Other Charges in the Guest panel when the quantity was set to 0, it was continuing to reflect on the Billing. It was intended to be removed if not required by double-clicking the Other Charge Description.

Version 3.4.14 (01-10-2015)
Enhancements:
1) Added a Guest Flag to let the Park Flag a Guest on the Grid and Map in a Light Orange color for whatever purpose you want. One Customer wanted to Flag Guest Reservations that requested a Site so they wouldn't move them prior to arrival. This over-rides the Red Future reservation color for that site on the Map. - Thanks, Mike
2) Improved the Guest Save routines to only update the Grid and Maps when really necessary.

3) Fixed an Abend when using the Minimize button of the Guest History panel. Removed the button and added error handling.

Enhancements:
1) Added a new feature to the Grid for Hold Reservations. You can now either Change the Departure Date of the previous Guest to the Hold Reservation or entered Date (if between the Arrival & Departure Dates of the Hold Reservation); or Cancel the Hold Reservation; or simply go to the Hold Reservation Guest page.
2) Changed the Proper Case routine to leave Capitalized characters alone in the middle of a "word". As an example: This will allow "RV" in a field to NOT be changed to "Rv".
3) Added a Check in the Campground Information area to turn off the Red Italic feature on the Reservation Grid that lets you know a Guest is behind in their rent. This will help if you are Not using the Rent Billing capability of the software. - Thanks, Effie
4) Added a "Up Charge" percentage for Credit Card payments. If you want, you can now charge the Guest a "Credit Card UpChg" on their Bill as a Percentage of the Total Amount. This percentage is entered in the Form of Payment panel accessed from the Guest Panel. It applies to ALL Guests when the Credit Card option is selected for a Guest. The option is designed to help offset the costs of Credit Card processing, if you want.
Bugs:
1) Added code to assure at least one Site Type is available in the Campground Information panel. The Default is RV. There are real problems if a Park doesn't have at least one Site Type, and prior to this release, one could delete all Site Types.
2) Fixed an issue where under certain circumstances the Departure Date was being changed to 12:00 AM and was difficult to fix. This caused the Grid to not show that reservation. It is read as 01/01/1899 ...
3) Changed the "Other Charges" portion of the Tax/Revenue Report to properly reflect Other Charges.

2) Fixed Database password to reflect the 10 Character Max limit and the OverRide password to a 12 Character Max limit. - Thanks, Alicia
3) Fixed the Account and Type fields in the Sites table to allow Null entries. This was causing issues when a Customer had a new version of MS Access in their environment and tried to Save Site changes. - Thanks, Tera
Version 3.4.08 (8-30-2014)
Bugs:
1) Fixed a bug for when Phone Numbers were listed in the Guest List Reports. If a Number was blank the previous number was shown. - Thanks, James
2) Fixed a problem when a QBooks field was entered on an Other Charge and then later tried to be removed. It would not remove. This has been fixed.

5) Added a validation to the Create Bill option on the Guest panel to see if a Deposit was provided by the Guest and the Paid Thru Date is equal to or greater than the Departure Date. This is to help those that can't remember to refund the Deposit on the last bill. - Thanks, Brian
6) Added a Report to provide a List of All, Current, or Past Guests for Copying & Pasting into a prepared Email. - Thanks, Edna
Bugs:
1) Fixed a problem on the Billing Statement with using 2 columns and the second one's text looking fuzzy. - Thanks, Jeff
2) Fixed an issue with the number of characters being limited in the Announcement fields (1 or 2 columns) in the Campground Information panel. - Thanks, Jeff
3) Changed the tool to only have one panel visible at a time. Having more than one panel active, may have been causing issues with the Help panels.
4) Corrected an issue when saving a Guest that has a reservation that conflicts with another reservation. - Thanks, Brian
5) Fixed several issues in the QuickBooks field additions. The retrieval and Revenue reports didn't have everything they should have. - Thanks, Brian
Version 3.4.04 (6-15-2014)
Enhancements:
1) Added the ability to determine a Guest has Rent Due from the Reservation Grid panel when their Name is in Red Italics and if the Guest should be Checked Out when their Departure Date is less than Today's date shown with a light blue cell background. The Guests to be checked out will also reflect Rent Due if appropriate. Thanks - Brian
2) Added the Guest's phone number and email to the Billing Statement.

4) Added a Field on the Reports Panel to change the Font Size for Printing to get all of your report on the paper. Thanks - Trudi

2) Fixed an issue with Site Definitions where you were using more than 5 Site Types. The site could be made Unavailable and still have any of the last 5 Site Types checked, allowing one to rent an Unavailable Site. Thanks - Brian
Version 3.4.02 (5-15-2014)
Enhancements:
1) Added a test for Computers running a Region and Language of something other than English (United States). RV Park will provide a warning and then terminate. In the same area, a test for the Region and Language short format that starts with "days" (example: dd-MM-yy). RVPark will temporarily change the Short Date to a M/dd/yyyy format to operate properly and when exited, change the format back to what you had set.
2) Changed some of the Chilkat Libraries (Libraries used to provide Email; FTP; and Zip functionality) from multiple files to a single library file with all of the calls in one file. This should make the download files for RV Park smaller.
3) Added the Printer Control library to better control the Printer Output. The User can now control most aspects of the output including changing the Printer selection. - Thanks Brian
4) Added the ability to OverRide the Site Rate on the Guest Panel. There are times when a Site Rate calculation is not covered by the RV Park Site Rate algorithms. In this case, and with the OverRide Password, you can OverRide the Site Rate and enter whatever value you want. Thanks - Klaas
5) Added an OverRide Password to support the Site Rate OverRide option, you can keep your current Database Access password secret and allow others to OverRide the Site Rate if that makes sense for your business. There is also the ability to Change this password in the Change Database Access password area.
6) Added a new field to the Billing database Table called TypeStay (found in the Guest panel Vehicle Information area) to help in creating custom Reports that pull only certain types of "Stays". Example: If you have Mobile Homes, Park Models, and RVs as types of stays, you can retrieve just the Park Models or Sort such that these are grouped together in a report.
Bugs:
1) Fixed a problem in the Outstanding Balance Report. An error would occur when an Arrival date was the 31st and the next month had only 30 days ... likewise, if the next month was February, it really had a problem!
2) Corrected an issue with the Seasonal Dates setting a Winter Start date year to a previous year, creating an issue.
Version 3.4.00 (4-15-2014)
Enhancements:
1) Added a Toggle using Double-Click to the Guest Panel Name field to toggle between Last, First and First Last name. You must press Save to retain the change. Thanks, Terry & Pat
2) Added a Left-Click option to the Guest Panel Save button to just Save the Guest Information and not validate that Guest for a proper Reservation. This is just to update Guest information when they are NOT making a reservation. Thanks, Terry & Pat
3) Added the Transaction Date to the Point of Sale receipts.
4) Added an automated Software Update capability that Exits RV Park and Downloads and runs the RVParkUpdater program and then Re-Starts RV Park Software. Just press the Yes on the Update Available pop-up or Check For New Version option in the Help menu of the Main Panel. If a new version is available you will see a "Press This Button to Update Now" button.
5) Added a tool to Upload and Download all of your Key Files for RV Park in a Zip file to and from E-Business's Server. This can be as a remote backup or when we need to fix something for you.
6) Added a new Report "Other Charges Sales Report w/Calculated Taxes" to get just the Other Charges Sales. The Taxes are shown as "Calculated" because the actual transaction may have Taxes from other aspects of the Bill (like Rent), so the Taxes are calculated from the Tax settings for those items.
7) Added another report, Rental Percentages, that simply provides an overall percentage of all sites, occupied or not, and what percentage of Daily/Weekly/Monthly/etc. Rentals relative to the total Sites for today.
8) Added Check Number tracking to Guest Panel "Form of Payment" button. The Check Number (if provided) will also be added to the final Billing entry. There is even a new field in the Edit Billing Database panel to correct and/or reprint the Bill. - Thanks, Terry & Pat
Bugs:
1) Fixed a potential issue on Emailed Bills in the Announcement area when information was in the second column area. There could have been a lot of numbers left during testing. This has been corrected. Thanks, Al
2) Corrected a Seasonal Rate issue for Billing Periods that go across the seasons. Thanks, Brian
3) Fixed the problem in the Electrical Calculations when the KWH used were equal to the upper limit of either Rate 2 or Rate 3 ... again. Few Customers will experience this issue. Thanks, Effie.
Version 3.3.02 (2-15-2014)
Enhancements:
1) Added a checkbox to the Email Setup panel to provide your Email with a Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) whenever you use RV Park to send an Email Bill or Confirmation. This is for those that need/want to keep a record of what is being sent.
2) Reduced the minimum size of the Reservation Grid screen to accommodate a User with a smaller monitor.
Bugs:
1) Fixed a bug related to double Booking in the Guest Panel. If Arrival & Departure dates were entered and a Site selected, when the Save button was pressed the routine failed to process All reservations for that site. This has been corrected.
2) Fixed a problem in the Electrical Calculations when the KWH used were equal to the upper limit of either Rate 2 or Rate 3. Few Customers will experience this issue.
Version 3.3.01 (1-17-2014)
Enhancements:
1) Added a Check for running RV Park using a Remote connection to the database so the database would not be Compressed or Backed Up automatically. This is because the process took too long over the Remote Connection and the User would be worried something was wrong when the application appeared to freeze up.
2) Changed the Map Site occupancy pop-up to stay up much longer when you mouse over the site box.
3) Added the ability to change the Default Printer from the Main Panel upper menu.
4) Added the Announcements to the Email Billing tool and when editing Notes, pressing Save actually saves the Guest or Park Information data. - Thanks Al
5) Added a Print Capability from the Edit Billing Database tool. This is close to a receipt but is can have errors because it does not have all of the information available to the actual receipt in the Guest Panel "Create Bill" option.
Bugs:
1) Fixed a Bug on the Maps when the Site has a future reservation (Red Box) and more than one Reservation existed, the Map would pull the wrong Guest.
2) Fixed several forms that had the calendar displayed when launched that shouldn't have. Removed the Max and Min buttons on several forms that didn't need them. Also, made a few forms a little longer on the bottom to display better.
3) Fixed the Map algorithm to properly display guests in their sites - Thanks Sherry.
4) Fixed the Assign New Site option, it was not reassigning if another Guest was arriving the day the reassigned Guest was leaving - Thanks Sherry.
5) Found a possible issue when closing the Other Reservations panel.
6) Fixed the Invoice Announcement height to properly extend on the printouts when one column is set. - Thanks, Brian
7) Fixed an issue on Outstanding Reports to reflect Summer and Winter rates. - Thanks Brian.
8) Fixed a Major issue with the Seasonal Rates calculations. - Thanks, Sherry, Dave, & Brian
9) With multiple Maps, there was an error that would terminate the program. This was fixed. - Thanks Cleo & Dwayne
Version 3.3.00 (10-5-2013)
Enhancements:
1) Added Multiple Reservations for the same Guest. This new feature will manage multiple Reservations, such that, when the current Guest (called the Primary Guest) is Checked Out, the next Reservation (called a Duplicate Guest) for that Guest is automatically entered into the Primary Guest and that next Duplicate Guest is Deleted. We have also added a way to convert existing "Multiple Guests" to Duplicate Guests of a selected Primary Guest.
2) Added the ability to Review/Edit Reservation Confirmation Emails.
3) Added pop-up Calendar to the Database Editing panel to support the date fields.
4) Added a Delete button to the Rate Adjustment panel to Delete Adjustments that are NOT applied to Guests.
Bugs:

2) Added a fix to the pop-up Calendar to avert a possible error.
Version 3.2.10 (9-5-2013)
Enhancements:
1) Added new Calendar interface with a Single Click to select a Date,
2) Added settings for Calendar Font, Text Size, and Color. This is a result of some Users not having the fonts normally used by the program.
3) Added a Guest "Do NOT Tax Rent" check box. There were situations where some Monthly Paying Guests should not be charged Tax (those staying for, say six months) versus those just staying a month or two. Some States do not require taxing Rent in those cases. With this check box, you can turn off Rent Tax for this Guest. - Thanks, Elaine
4) Added a few enhancements to the Guest panel to more dynamically calculate the Amount Due when changes are made.
Bugs:
1) Changed the Departure Date on the Occupancy and Guest List (sort by Site) Report from the Date Paid Thru to the actual Departure Date.
2) Fixed a problem with Maps losing the To Date after closing the Map.
3) On initial loading, if you are not using Maps, the Maps button on the main panel popped up for just a second. Now you shouldn't see it unless you are using Maps.
4) Fixed an issue with Resetting the Last Paid Date.
5) Fixed a problem with setting the Interim Bill check box. This could cause a bad date to be entered into the Last Paid date field.
Version 3.2.9 (8-5-2013)
Enhancements:
1) Added a new Library to check for other Users in the Database when Updates and Backups are made.
2) Added a 4th Map to the Maps capability. You can now create up to 4 maps for your RV Park or Property Management situation. This was an old request.
3) Enhanced the Maps Update routines to better reflect the Map changes as you change Tabs or parameters.
4) Added a possible fix for a corrupted Park.MDB database when first launching RV Park Software. There are times when your computer may reboot or restart when RV Park is running and damage the database. With this enhancement you can attempt to repair Park.MDB upon RV Park startup. If the repair is unsuccessful, you will also be provided the option for replacing your Database.
5) Added a sorting option to the Guest List report to sort by Site Number. This is to let you list your Current Guests to look for Guests not Checked-Out.
Bug Fixes:
1) Changed the Departure Date in the Arrival/Departure Reservation Grid panel from the actual Paid Thru Date (which is stored in the Guest Table as Departure) to the real Departure Date by adding a day to the Departure Date in the database. It just looks better, right Dan.
2) Fixed the Edit Billing Database panel to work properly with a Null (or blank) Receipt number, a new feature added in Version 3.2.8. Thanks, Jim.
3) Fixed the "Thanks" note on the bottom of the Billing Statement to be visible.
Version 3.2.8 (7-10-2013)
Enhancements:
1) Created a new Weekly or Monthly Rounded Up Rate for Prorating a Guest. The check box will calculate your Weekly or Monthly Rate divided by 7 or 30 respectively, and then round it always up to the next dollar and then take that Rate times the number of days being prorated for the Guest's stay. Example: A Monthly Rate of $430 / 30 = $14.33, which would be rounded up to $15 and then multiplied by however many days are in the Month being Prorated. This feature also takes into account any Seasonal Rates.
2) Added Receipt Numbers to the Bill output and Tax Reports. The Receipt Number can be set in the Park Information setup panel using the Database Password.
3) Added Postal Codes for Australia, with a database to support them. This enhancement required the State field be extended to 3 characters.
Bug Fixes:
1) Fixed the Arrival/Departure Reservation Grid panel for Departures only, so that the Departure Date is truly the date the Guest is Departing ... not paid through. Thanks - Dan
Version 3.2.7 (6-4-2013)
Bug Fixes:
1) Emergency turnover to fix an issue caused by the new Tax enhancement.
Version 3.2.6 (6-3-2013)
Enhancements:
1) Added the ability to use the 3 taxes at your discretion. On Rents or Other Charges you can set any combination of the 3 Taxes for each Rent type and each Other Charge. If you need to use Taxes, this new feature provides you with a lot of flexibility with Taxing.
2) Changed the Billing output to alter the "Rate KWH" to "Total KWH" when multiple Rates are used. Previously when multiple rates were used the word "Various" was found to be of no real value.
3) Added a note to the Bill if a Payment Type is specified denoting the Type of Payment used.
4) Added a new feature to add Days to the Paid Thru Date on the Guest Panel. Clicking on the Paid Thru Label, you can add the number of days from the Campground Information settings. This makes it simple to add a specific number of days to the previous Billing Date ... like 28.
Bug Fixes:
1) Added a fix to correct NULL Meter reading values.
2) Fixed a bug in the Arrival/Departure Reservation Grid panel Error 424 Object required.
3) Fixed an issue when entering a Date before Today in the Guest Panel. It took several attempts using the Calendar.
4) Fixed a problem in the Guest registration process; if a Site Number was entered (as opposed to using the AvailSite Button to locate a Site), the Site "could" become double booked. The Algorithm checking the Sites Booked is fixed. Thanks - Dave
5) Added a Zoom Reset to the Print Map tool to correct any receipt printing.
6) Changed the Hold Guest capability to accept any case. Before you had to enter "Hold" for the Guest Name. That is, capital "H" and lower case "old". Now, you can enter "hold" in any case you want, as long as it is HOLD.
7) Made changes to the Billing Calculation routines to correct some issues.
8) Changed the Font in all pop-up Calendars to MS Sans Serif to assist Users without the Arial font loaded.
Version 3.2.5 (5-3-2013)
Bug Fixes:
1) Fixed an issue with the New Electric Company addition. The database wasn't getting properly updated. This caused a problem with Electric billing requiring an emergency turnover. I apologize for any inconveniences. Thanks - Effie
Version 3.2.4 (5-1-2013)
Enhancements:
1) Added the capability to reassign Billing Records to another Guest Name, if you want when Deleting a Guest. This feature provides the ability to assign Billing Records that would no longer have a Guest to point to when you want/need to Delete that Guest. If you do NOT reassign the Billing Records, they will have the former Guest's Name in them. This is helpful if you have created multiple Guests with the same Name (basically the same Guest) and want to Delete the "extra" ones and keep their Billing Records linked.
2) Added a Report to List Vacant and/or Occupied Sites for "Today". This is handy for checking the park in the morning for Guests that may have come in during the night.
3) Added a Second Electric Company for parks that require a second Electric Company billing capability, or Sites that should be charged more or less than others.
Bug Fixes:
1) Fixed a Sorting issue on the Guest Report drop down to sort by Guest Name and not Guest Number. - Thanks Barbara
2) Fixed an issue where the registration of a previous Guest that used a Type of Stay which was no longer available selected a hidden option.
Version 3.2.3 (4-12-2013)
Enhancements:
1) Added the ability to sort the Edit Database by either Invoice Date or Guest Name and then sort either ascending or descending.
2) New feature added to retain the Grid Date entered. This passes between the Map and Reservation Grid as the From Date.
3) Added a Rate Adjustment feature to apply a Discount or Up-Charge to Daily, Weekly or Monthly standard rates. You can create as many Rate Adjustment items as are needed and then assign them to a Guest. - Thanks Pat
4) Added a Site Type Default selection. You have up to 10 Site Types you can define. This new feature lets you determine which Type will be used as a Default.
Bug Fixes:
1) Fixed a bug in the Reports for Outstanding Balance Reports. All Rent Types were only being reported if the Last Paid date was late by the number of days in the Billing Cycle (Example: If Billing Weekly, the Last Paid Date was only considered late when 7 days from the Last Paid Date had passed.) That is not how Most Parks Bill, they bill in advance, and the Paid thru Date should be the date the next payment is due. Therefore, the report has been changed to show Rent one day and greater for All Rent types.
2) Fixed several bugs in the Edit Billing tool causing problems in the Other Charges area.
3) In the Export Data panel several issues have been resolved: Minimizing the Panel; trying to save an Export file with invalid characters; Deleting an Export File error. - Thanks Pat
4) In the Guest Panel entering an Arrival and Departure Date now returns only those sites that are available. Thanks, Kerry
Version 3.2.2 (3-12-2013)
Enhancements:
1) Added Arrival/Departure dates to the Find Guest Pop-Up as well as sorting the Guests alphanumerically and by Arrival date. This may help with the Multiple Reservations for a Guest process.
2) Opened the Guest Discount to 100% for those that don't want to charge their Guests anything.
3) Added a line to the printed Bill or Invoice to reflect the Discount provided when a Discount is applied. Conveys the percentage and dollars saved.
4) Added a field to the Park Information panel to control the height of the Announcements area at the bottom of the printed Bill. Also changed the Font size from 10 to 9 to display more information.
5) The Announcement area on the bottom of the printed Bill can now be 1 or 2 Columns. This is also set in the Park Information panel. Also Added a Text Height setting for the text in the Announcement areas.
6) Added a pop-up for the Announcements and Cancellation Policy fields to improve the entry of text. The Pop-up is also expandable.
Bug Fixes:
1) Fixed a bug for importing Guests with Data Importer. The Type Of Stay for a Guest was being set to 0 causing an error pop-up. This has been corrected in both RV Park and Data Importer.
2) Added an error check for Map Images that weren't properly loading causing the Program to abend.
Version 3.2.1 (2-12-2013)
Bug Fix:
1) Fixed the Map algorithm that overlooked an important condition.
2) Added a condition for never paid to the Outstanding Report to catch Guests that are Outstanding and have not yet paid anything. These types were not being considered.
Version 3.2.0 (2-11-2013)
Enhancements:
1) Added a Departure List to the Reservation List area to help with preparing for Guests to Leave and Arrive. Also, be able to print Guest Notes on the Lists (up to 105 characters). The reservation list can also be filtered for just today or all future arrivals.
2) Added additional information and functionality to the Guest Reset Date capability to undo a Guest Billing.
3) Added a Print Form option to the Help Menu of the Maps and Reservation Grid Panels
4) Added Guest History to track a repeat Guest's stays and/or Reservation Cancellations with screen or printout.
5) Added a Cancel Reservation button to the Guest Panel that tracks back to Guest History.
6) Added the ability to Change the Title of the "News and Announcements" area on the printed Bill to whatever you want. You may want to provide Rules for short term Guests.
7) The Billing Statement output has been changed a little to get a little more of the bottom of the page printed. NOTE: This output is actually tied to your screen resolution, so if you increase your screen resolution, you should get more of this form output.
8) Added a setting in the Park Information panel to automatically Compress and BackUp the database. This is a really nice feature and will keep the Database running well and backed up if something goes wrong. NOTE: This is Not available if you are running Multiple Computers.
9) Added a new feature for the Reservation Grid to color a Reservation Magenta if the Guest Name starts with "Hold". This is to address a Guest "maybe" extending their stay, or Holding a Reservation spot for an existing Guest.
10) Changed the Tax Fields to Display more characters in the Park Information panel in the following format: .082531
Bugs:
1) Fixed the Map Arrival/Departure algorithm to more accurately reflect the Park Status.
2) Fixed a little issue with the Map panel. If you closed the Map panel with the unload "X" in the upper right, the Grid was being launched. Also fixed the panel from always being shown in maximized state for those with very large monitors that don't want the panel quite so large.
Version 3.1.1 (12-03-2012)
Enhancements:
1) Added CSV file output to all reports to support spreadsheet output.
Bug Fixes:
1) Changed the Excel creation to late binding to help with newer versions of Excel.
2) Fixed the Progress Bar unload when Tax Report is run with no records found.
3) Added a check to assure an Park.MDB database is selected when replacing the Database.
Version 3.1.0 (11-19-2012)
Enhancements:

Version 2.4.1 (8-12-2011)
Enhancements:

Some California Counties are requiring a daily fee (similar to a Tax except an amount versus a percentage) be charged. This is usually for a period of less than 30 days (the fee is included in a Monthly or longer rate). The Daily Fee has been added to the ParkInfo panel. The Guest must be paying either Daily or Weekly and the Rate and number of days (generally less than 30) must be entered for the Fee to be applied. The Fee has it's own field in the Billing database table.
2) Added additional options to the Reservation Output on the Guest panel. Originally it only created an Email, now you can also print the Reservation Notification, or create a file to edit before sending.

3) Fixed a problem when deleting a Site error Abend.

9) Provided an On-Line Reservation capability. If you have a Website, you can now provide Reservations that you can retrieve from the internet to Auto Fill Out the Guest form with what they have entered on the Web. This does require you have a website and you will need 3 pages added to facilitate the On-Line Reservations. See On-Line Reservations for more information.
10) In the Reservation Grid Panel, now when you want to register a New Guest, you can click on their Arrival Date and holding the left mouse button down drag the mouse to their Departure Date and transfer both dates to the Guest Panel.

Bugs:

2) Fixed a registration bug - when there was a one night reservation in the future and you tired to register a longer stay in the same site, the system would allow it.
3) Added a check to protect a Customer from voiding their License in the Registration Panel.
4) Fixed a bug in the Site Information panel when setting the Seasonal Dates. If one used the up & down arrows, the dates were not registering properly.

3) Added an Archive Path for Database Backup and Archiving Billing information. Be sure if you change the Database Backup Path you relocate the ArchivePark.MDB database to the new location.

So a Site might be called 14SP; meaning it has Shade and is a Pull thru. There are 7 characters to use for an Alias, so do what helps you.

5) A new table has been added to the database to accommodate proper tracking of the Other and Negative Charges. This will allow all Billing transactions to have the details of how much was billed for each Other or Negative charge.
