We need all users of Auto Shop Writer 10 to check their data version.  This is very easy:

• Click on Help
• Click on System Information
• Near the bottom of the listed information you will see Data Version
• If it is less than 9.64.31, please call us.  We will need about 5 minutes to update the files to the latest version.

We have a new update we would like to provide automatically, but if your data files are not at the latest, when it arrives on your system you will start having errors.  So, please, check it out and give us a call.

Yes, the new version has many new features, and that is why we updated the databases.

The 2017 Federal Payroll Tax Tables have been uploaded to your system.  Here is what you need to do to use them when processing payroll.

1)  The files are in the MLS subfolder of your data directory on the server.  If you are still on ASW 9, that main folder is \ASW9s, and if you are on ASW 10, it is \ASW10s 

2a) If you are using ASW 9, go to \ASW9s\MLS and find APAFTT.dbf.  It will have a date of 1/4/17.  Right click the mouse and select Copy from the menu.  Then highlight the main ASW9s folder, right click the mouse, and select Paste.

2b)  If you are using ASW 10, go to \ASW10s\MLS and find APAFTT.dbf.  It will have a date of 1/4/17.  Right click the mouse and select Copy from the menu.  Then highlight the DATA folder under the ASW10s mainfolder, right click the mouse and select Paste.

3)  Go into ASW, and under Tools select Index.  Then select Employee only, and reindex.

You are now ready to process payroll for 2017.  Remember to update your State tables ( manually ) and the Standard Deductions based on the government amounts in the latest publications.
