Restoring original Actinic Reports

Restoring original Actinic Reports

If you have installed one of Mole End Software's integrated label reports and you want to restore the previous version (either Actinic's original version or a previous custom version) use the following procedure. You should not be running Actinic when doing this.

1. When you install a Mole End report it takes a copy of the previous report and puts it in a directory named MoleEndBackup under the report directory. For Actinic V8 this would be 'C:\Program Files\Actinic v8\MoleEndBackup'. Locate this directory.

2. The Invoice report is called Invoices{date}{n}.rpt. Where {date} is the date when the new report was installed and {n} is a unique number (incase you installed more than 1 report on the same day). For example, if you installed a new Invoice report on the 31st March 2007, the backed up copy would be named invoices20070331-1.rpt. The Packing List report is named orders.rpt and the Data Entry report is named DataEntry.rpt. If you had installed more than 1 Invoice report on this day it would have been called invoices20070331-2.rpt, invoices20070331-3.rpt etc..

3. Copy the required report from the MoleEndBackup directory into the reports directory. For Actinic V8 this is 'C:\Program Files\Actinic v8'.

4. Rename the current report to be restored. For example rename Invoices.rpt to Invoices.rpt.old.

5. Rename the Invoices{date}{n}.rpt to Invoices.rpt. For example rename invoices20070331-1.rpt to Invoices.rpt.

Note : If you have installed a custom report manually, you should restore the backup you made yourself prior to copying the new report in.
