Sales Invoice xxxxxx.pdf & Credit Note xxxxxx.pdf rather than Document.pdf
Version 4.2.82.1
Wrapped the Setting of the Fax COM port around Try/except when it Process_Settings, this "may" solve issues if the Computer has no COM port and nothing to set.
Version 4.2.82.0
Added a new 'Stop after x errors in a day' setting in options, this defauts to 25 but can be changed. If the error log gets 25 errors with in one day the eFax Server will stop with an application message and will only re-start once the OK is selected and the logs investigated.
Version 4.2.81.0
Faxing can be disabled by entering NO MODEM in the Fax initialisation string in settings, If this is enabled then faxing is skip, and it then tryis to forward the document instead to the Madics users email address who sent it, otherwise it just fails its.
Version 4.2.80.0
Added a new (P)age type to the 'Format Config File' to help auto increment the line count on certain pages.

Version 4.2.78.0
Work Shop Repair PDF Invoices are now named as Repair Invoice XXXXX.pdf instead of Document.pdf
Version 4.2.77.2
Update relating to email subject from a different queued record.
Version 4.2.77.1
Bug Fix, EmailSubject in CSV was not being cleared after import causing the next record to get the previous email subject if the field passed from Madics was blank.
Version 4.2.77.0
* Added a new EmailSubject field to the 'Queue' and 'Sent Log' is this is set in Madics then this is used when sending emails rather then the Description field.
* Bug fix, Subject for several documents were not being reformatted and the Queue Description was still being used.
Version 4.2.76.0
Loop for upto 2 minutes if the database record is lock when attempting to get the next internal unique number, previously it stopped with a dialog message and audit log error of 'could not update; currently locked'
Version 4.2.75.2
Increase time out between printing a efax to pthe printer and then moving on to the next document.
Version 4.2.75.1
Updated printing timeout seconds and update error log on printer exceptions if there is an error trying to print out the fax after sending. This could possible help track down a problem where blank pages print instead of the fax bitmaps.
Version 4.2.75.0
* Madics EMail Server 4.2.17.0 or later is now required.
* Added a over riding FromEmail and EmailCC address options to the templates.
* Added an optional 2nd attachment that will be attached to any emails sent out.
Version 4.2.74.1
A FaxServerTrace.log (in the application EXE folder) is now created when loading, merging the fax/email bitmap.
This gets deleted and re-created for each document, unless, the following setting is enabled in Setting 'Enable additional 'trace' logging' when the FaxServerTrace.log will be appened to.
Version 4.2.74.0
If the eFax Server was unable to load the template bitmap it now retires upto 10 times before it decides to finally fail, attempted to solve a weird problem where sometimes its found and sometimes it fails to locate the bitmap or returns with a 'Bitmap image is not valid' message.
Version 4.2.73.0
If a WSR description contains Repair Quote or Projector Repair Quote we also use this along with the Quote Number to make up the attached PDF file name.
Version 4.2.72.0
Setting's Password 'daily password' date generation logic changes to allow for PC's with dates different to a UK format.
Version 4.2.71.0
Added an exception when loading the imagine bitmap, this is to try to trap any invalid/corrupt bitmap files causing a message of 'Bitmap image is not valid' and holding up the eFax Server, now the item will fail and the eFax error log up-dated.
Version 4.2.70.0
If the template rotate/angle is anything other than zero (normally 90) we will now also rotate the PDF on creation.
Version 4.2.69.0
Added the option to enable Madics eFax Server to pick and up send Emails/Faxes from two completely different Madics Servers, this saving the need to setup and run two Madics eFax Server's. Please note: the PRTCDE.DAT is shared between both servers (so recommened these to have the same printers/escpae codes etc)
Version 4.2.68.2
The e-fax server stop processing any other documents if it came across a document with no bitmap (^j?) code in the file, the document now is flagged as failed with an error message of 'No bitmap code found'. This must of been broken in the past few version changes or so.
Version 4.2.68.1
Big fix where it was possible for a page in the creation process being jumped causing the fax/email to abort and not send.
Version 4.2.68.0
You can now remove extra blank lines by using the following syntax in the 'Format Config File' see Version 4.1.44.0 for more information on other switches.
{line number},R
Version 4.2.67.0
You are now able to append a different "static" bitmap as the last page of a Fax/Email, this can be used for "Terms and Conditions" etc. This new template field can be found in Settings -> Template Tab -> Final Page Field. If this field has been entered and the bitmap exists it is automatically appended to the fax/email before it is sent.
Version 4.2.66.1
Bug fix, eFax Server was returning a possible "bitmap/image not found error" when it was really a database record write/update error.
Version 4.2.66.0
More updates to the past few changes and 4.2.64.0 and after tracing the E_FAIL message down to attaching files in the MDB database rather than in folders (this option was mostly aimed if a SQL Server was used instead). Removed any extra user prompted exception errors and the messages will instead be passed back to the eMail Servers failed error description.
This also traps any file locking "Could not update - currently locked" messages and moved onto the next record. (This locking error/message happens when using a Access MDB database as Access uses block locking rather than record locking and so if the record next to the one we require is also being updated this could occur.)
Version 4.2.65.2
Follow-up on 4.2.64.0 added a slight delay submitting a batch of Emails to the server, we have also change the ADO connection meathod from Client to Server.
Version 4.2.65.1
Follow-up on 4.2.64.0 and added more error exceptions and traces to locate the E_FAIL_Status messages.
Version 4.2.65.0
While checking for items to send if we come across an item found with a status of Active it is now reset to Queued, this does not solve why and how the item got stuck in the Active state to start with, but does reset them and move them on. Only reason an item can get as Active is if the eFax Server crashes or is killed off while in the transmit state.
Version 4.2.64.0
When submitting an Email to the Madics EMail Server and it fails we no longer stop, display the reason/error and wait for a users action, we now trapped the error and update the Last Error/Failed message and move on to the next in the queue. This will have a side effect if for some reason the eFax Server can not talk to the Email Server database it will doe down the complete queue and set all documents as failed, as its all it can do if its unable to communicate with the database at all.
Version 4.2.63.1
Another attempted to fix incorrect RemoteID where the previous RemoteID was used, also see Version 4.2.62.1
Version 4.2.63.0
Added a new "Madics User Copy" email option, this is in setting and per a document type. If enabled/ticked when the Email or Fax is send the Madics user will also get an email copy.
Version 4.2.62.1
Some times the incoming fax RemoteID is not correctly stored and looks like its using the previous faxes RemoteID, we have moved some logic around to see if we can over come this problem. Attempt number two (first attempt was Version 4.1.36.1)
Version 4.2.62.0
Statement PDF's now have the Email Attachment name as "Statement_{customer code}.pdf rather than document.pdf.
Version 4.2.61.1
Added extra traces around PRTCDE printer code removals.
Version 4.2.61.0
* Failed faxes were only printing to the default printer and not the select printer for that document type set in settings.
* Remove "Warning, Madics Printer code table not found" from log file, this was filling the log when not really needed.
Version 4.2.60.0
* Added a Fax/Email creation trace window, to enable this right right click in the middle of the 'Pending Queue' and select 'Show Trace Window' from the pop up menu.
* If a bitmap code followed a form feed on the same line (no CR LF) then the 2nd page line count was out by one, this is not enabled by default, to enable tick 'Add line count for 2nd page+/Bitmaps' in Options.
Version 4.2.59.0
* Added extra error trapping and log tracing for incoming Faxes, certain numbers failed and aborted the imcoming faxes.
* ReceiveFax now uses the Fax Class in Settings previously it was Auto Detect.
Version 4.2.58.0
Purge was deleting records from the Sent Table, but was not deleting the fax 001 file from the disk, over time these files could clock up to tens of thousands and cause the fax server to error.
Version 4.2.57.0
New field added to the Fax Queue showing the total number of times the fax/email has failed to sent and has been retried.
Version 4.2.56.0
Now able to use ^k for bitmap codes as well as ^j.
Version 4.2.55.0
Invoices Faxed/Emailed from Credit Control Desk will always get a priority of '2' regardless of what’s set in settings, this allows invoices to be set to status '9' (over night) and still allow 're-prints' to be sent instantly.
Version 4.2.54.0
TAG files are forced to FTP in an ASCII format. TAG file is also loaded into a stringlist and saves to check its in a ASCII format.
Version 4.2.53.1
Added 'extra information logging' option this includes the TAG file information that comes from Madics before its deleted.
Version 4.2.53.0
Added 'secure records editor option' accesed via right click on the record. the Madics Daily password is also required.
Version 4.2.52.0
Some escape codes were not being removed from invoice print files as the short escape codes was over riding the longer ones.
Version 4.2.51.2
Clients using the exe as a shortcut over the network were getting an 'exception error' on exiting the application, this has hopefully now been corrected and was due to the application trying to save the current form size/postion in a setting file in the windoes folder.
Version 4.2.51.1
Added a few exception around table opens etc to trace 'Client' problem when first launching: Error of: FAXLOG - Cannot perform this operation on a closed data set
Version 4.2.51.0
New option in settings to Convert half sign to .5’, this can be used if the fax/email font does not support ½ signs.
Please beware an extra character is used and could clash with the character after the original ½ if close together.
Version 4.2.50.0
Correct an old problem that has surfaced when special characters are replaced (Eg Pound Signs) causing a larger than needed font width to be used this then caused a different page format to one that do not have a special character.
Version 4.2.49.0
If a pound sign is found as CHR(171) this is now replaced as CHR(189), this corrects a problem where some documents were faxing/emails pound signs as « instead of a ½

Fax ApdFaxConverter now converts bitmaps to fax image in high resolution rather than normal.
Version 4.1.45.0

Version 4.1.44.0
Added 'Format Config File' to the Document Templates Database, this new field can point to an ASCII template config file that allows you to define multiple fonts,pitches and styles on a fax image, rather than it currently using all the same font/pitch on the whole document.
The config file is is in the following format:
{line number},{start col},{end col},{font name},{size},{style}
line number = The line number of the fax/email source document.
start and end col = Starting and ending column this change is effecting.
If the start column is 1 and the end is 0 (zero) then the following text uses the supplied format from there on.
Font name = Font Name. (Eg. Courier New)
Size = Font Size
Style = Font style, currently: normal or bold.

Emailing documents now uses PDFLib Version PDFlib 4.0.2 rather than the earlier Version 3.
Version 3.2.13.2

The location of the documents on the server is entered differently for an Alpha Micro, it is entered in the following format.
DSKz:[XXX,16]
Where z is a disk number, (It should be the same as the server side in Madusr - system management).
Then when the e-Fax server checks for new documents is will replace the XXX with 33, 221, 222, 241, 250, & 246. These accounts have to be setup on the Alpha Micro if they are used.
Version 3.2.6.2
The Global option was not changing all the documents as it was auomaticlly being resorted while the global routine was reading down the file. The sort option is now turned off while global change is running.
Version 3.2.6.1

Version 3.2.6.0
** Warning, when upgrading to this please make sure the Documents Queue has nothing in it. **
Added a new Priority field to the Document Queue database, the queued faxes are sorted and sent in this order except priority 9 that is only sent if between the priority 9 start and end times in Settings.
The document status now have a status number as a pre-fix to the description allowing it to be sorted.
The Document Queue is now sorted by Status, Priority and then Attempts.
The way documents are being sent from the queue has now been changed from:-
Reading down the queue and sending each one until it reaches the bottom and then checking the server for any newly submitted faxes.
