On Monday we pushed out the latest build of ASW 10, and it is a significant update.  We need you to do one task, with these steps, or call and we’ll do it online for you —

• In the lower right corner of your task bar, find the little island icon, and click the right mouse button.  When the menu pops up, click on Close Updater.
• Now, look for the Windows Explorer icon.  It should look like a manilla file folder, and it will be on the task bar ( across the bottom of the windows screen ), or you can right click on the Windows Start button and find it.
• Once it opens, in the columns on the left, locate the ASW10s folder.  Click on the symbol to the left of the name to see the subfolders.  One is MLS.  Click on it with the left mouse button.
• On the right side of the screen, you will see a list of files.  One will say MLS10aus.exe.  Point to it, right click on the mouse, and select Copy.  Then point to and highlight the main ASW10s folder, right click on it, and select Paste. ; It will ask if you wish to overwrite the existing file.  Say Yes.
• Now, with the ASW10 folder highlighted, browse down the list on the right side and find the MLS10aus.exe file.  Double click the left mouse button on it, starting the new updater.

That’s all you need to do.  Again, we can sign on and do it for you without a problem.

So what is included in here ?  First, we get a lot of suggestions from people asking us to fine tune various aspects of the program, and especially new features.  This is because there are many ways for people to input data into ASW, and sometimes we can improve how people do it “their way” with some small adjustments, while not interfering with how the majority do it.

Secondly, some people were experiencing problems using the F1 key to bring up the proper help pages when on specific screens.  We’ve handled that.

Third, the new updater now handles the reminders for the new PM system, and for appointments.  We also did some adjustments to it’s email system.  We also increased the functionality so that it will do more auto update features.

Fourth, we have provided an update to the ASW 10 manual that includes the very latest features.

There has been a lot of work in here, but we certainly are not done yet.  We have some very helpful new features coming to serve you better this summer, and there will be a series of new training videos ( short, to the point ), and instruction on how to use all the power of the ASW marketing tools to actually drive more business to your bays.
