Year 2000 certification
ACCPAC Pro Series 6.0 is year 2000 certified. Dates are automatically
sorted and aged correctly— with no additional data entry effort.
100% Microsoft®
leading-edge technology
Pro Series is the only product of its kind that’s based
exclusively on the Microsoft Visual Studio® suite. You get the
added advantage of Microsoft’s extensive research, development and
testing in every Pro Series package. Unlike other products that rely
on proprietary languages and databases, Pro Series delivers a fully
tested standard that’s accepted around the world. Industry
standard means reliability, consistency and a solid product future.
Powerful drill down capabilities
ACCPAC designed Pro Series to make information truly accessible
when—and how—you need it. ACCPAC PowerDrill™
browser technology fuels fast reporting and data drill down on key
fields in the browsers into transaction details, bringing
information gathering and processing to a whole new level.
Customization Manager
Customization Manager is a tool that makes it possible to customize
your ACCPAC screens. With Customization Manager, you can create custom
screen forms as subclasses of existing forms and make custom screens
available to specific users/companies. And when it’s time to
install future builds, you can preserve your changes. This will save
you from having to redo modifications.
Choices: Windows and beyond
Pro Series is developed for companies that want to use technology as
a competitive advantage. ACCPAC’s continuing investment in research
and development ensures a future rich in new features and
capabilities that will provide your business with better information
and control. Choose the 32-bit operating system you prefer—Windows
95, Windows 98 or Windows NT®. Choose your
network—Microsoft NT or Novell® Netware. You even have
your choice of Pro Series forms or flexible laser-printed forms. Pro
Series provides full integration with Microsoft Word and Excel,
popular spreadsheets, databases and charting/presentation programs.
Industry applications work with Pro Series
Because Pro Series makes source code available, it’s the perfect
development platform for industry specialists. Working with ACCPAC,
experts—such as Lahey Software in manufacturing and Data
Technology (the makers of RADIO BEACON™) in distribution—have
created hundreds of specialized applications that enhance or
integrate with ACCPAC Pro Series. You’ll find compatible software
for:
- Manufacturing
- Distribution
- Kitting
- Point of Sale
- Sales Force Automation
- Service Calls
- Fixed Assets
- Many more!
Plus, there are dozens of smart utilities that do everything from
budget management to detail drill-downs. With Pro Series, you’ve
got access to a whole world of professional tools tailored for your
business.
Electronic Business
As business transactions move to the Internet, your accounting
software has to keep pace. ACCPAC pioneered electronic commerce with
modules that can take orders right off the web and turn them into
Pro Series transactions. Plus, you can use ACCPAC’s Internet
connection to register products, survey customers, and send (and
track) billing and notices. The savings in transaction costs can be
significant, even for smaller companies. And now ACCPAC has
incorporated ProAlert™ and Message
Master™ into Pro Series, making it even
easier for you to flex your e-business muscle.
Real information, real time, any time
With the Pro Series Business Status Report™
you can check vital company measurements in real time. It’s like a
thermometer for your business. Check your AR balance, AP balance,
month-to-date sales and cost of goods—even see projected totals
for the month (or any other period). Pro Series also gives you
unlimited data access the way you want to see it. Display any
information, in any order, customized for any user. You assign the
permissions and security codes, so you’re in total control.
Service and support are close at hand
ACCPAC has a two-tier system that gives you assistance when and where
you need it. Your local authorized ACCPAC consultant delivers on-site
services, manages implementation, supports and trains your staff.
Local support from this qualified network keeps response times low
and quality high. Backing up your independent consultant is ACCPAC’s
sophisticated help system. The Pro Series Helpdesk funnels calls to
product experts and keeps the 24-hour on-line web site up to date.
Unlimited customizability
ACCPAC pioneered open architecture for accounting software and has
years of experience delivering solutions to customers around the
globe. Open architecture means you can easily change the source
code, forms, and reports. You get maximum control over your
accounting system and its growth path. And as your business evolves,
you’re never locked in because ACCPAC’s complete flexibility keeps
your options open.
Some products promise
"customization" but deliver nothing more than minor screen
and report changes. With Pro Series, your software is truly
modifiable. And, with the new Customization Manager in Pro Series
6.0, it’s never been easier to make custom changes and preserve
your screen modifications in future builds.
New! in Pro Series 6.0
With the latest release of Pro Series, you’ll find exciting new
features that modern businesses need. ACCPAC routinely collects the
latest wish list items from customers and consultants, then builds
these features into new product upgrades. In addition to the
thousands of features users already appreciate, Pro Series 6.0 adds:
- Enhanced data browser and drill down capabilities.
Make the most of relational browsers, tabbing
between custom browsers and drilling down on key fields to view
as much transaction detail as you need with ACCPAC PowerDrill™
browser technology.
- Customization Manager. Make changes
to your ACCPAC screens and preserve them when you install future
builds. This feature ensures that ACCPAC Pro Series—along with
any customizations you make—will grow with you.
- Enhanced System Manager now includes Message
Master™! Any Pro Series report or
form can be sent via email, by fax or as a file or attachment.
And you can customize fax cover sheets, edit distribution lists,
and share important information quickly—even simultaneously by
email or fax, if you like.
- ProAlert™ is included with Pro Series
6.0, saving you time and money. With ProAlert you
can automate process flows by setting up clearly specified
events that trigger specified actions.
- MDI. Bring up multiple copies of
Customer and Item Maintenance as well as Vendor Maintenance
screens in the same company and module.
- User privileges. With improved user
privileges you can synchronize the privilege for a group of
users with that of a "super user," saving time by
ensuring that each business unit can access the information it
relies on most.
- MAPI email and Microsoft Internet Explorer
accessibility. Pro Series now features the URL in
customer and vendor files and emails, as well as email and URL
access in the Item Supplier screen.
- Client installation option independent of the
server installation. Now you can install the
client version on a workstation by running the client
installation program from the network location instead of the
Pro Series CD.
- Improved cycle counting. You can now
release a lock on a set of items currently in the process of
being cycle counted so that users can perform transactions with
those items before the cycle count posts.
- Linked Purchase Orders receipts and invoices.
This new functionality makes it easier than ever to create and
follow an audit trail between the AP invoice and the PO receipt
that created the AP payable.
- Cash accounts and additional Business Status
Report™ enhancements. Now there’s a
BALANCE field in the AP checking account maintenance screen from
which the running balance for the account is stored. The
Business Status Report object for the cash balance will retrieve
from this new field. The Business Status Report has enhanced
drill down capabilities as well.
- Multiple remit to. Allows you to set
up multiple remit-to addresses for a particular vendor.
- Enhanced reporting features.
Improvements include the addition of a Total Column for the
13-column Income Statement Comparison Report in General Ledger.
And, with as of dates in IC, you can run an Inventory On-Hand
Report as of a given date.
- Improved AP and PR features. Using
the AP system set-up information screen, printing the AP Journal
at period closing is now optional. With the Recover AP/PR check
run, you can gracefully recover from failed check runs. And the
AP Invoice Entry Option enables you to enter another invoice for
the same vendor.
- Enhanced Payroll reports for history.
This feature means you can add a reporting option on the History
Table for these PR reports: Payroll Tax Register, Payroll
Deduction Register, and Posted Earnings Report.
- Easy upgrade path. The new and
streamlined installation and conversion process in Pro Series
6.0 provides an easy upgrade path for VisionPoint®
10.0 and Pro Series 5.0 users so they can take advantage of the
new features in the new Pro Series version immediately.
- Improved documentation. New printed
books and all new Doc on Disk make it easy to find what you need
quickly. New features include: What’s New document in Doc on
Disk, Search All Doc, Centralized glossary, and updated
context-sensitive help.

Memory Guidelines
While a slower processor and less RAM will run Pro Series 6.0,
considerable degradation in performance should be anticipated. A
single Pentium server can be configured with 64MB base RAM, plus
5-8MB of RAM per user, with 15-40MB of disk space per user. In a 50
user, single machine example, you may need a 2-4 processor Pentium
SMP server with approximately 300MB of RAM and 2-8GB hard disks.
The CONFIG Files: The following configuration file, CONFIG.FPW,
is automatically installed in the same directory as the SBTW.EXE
file and must contain the following lines:
- MVCOUNT=2000
- HELP=OFF
- SAFETY=OFF
- SYSMENU=ON
- NOTIFY=OFF
- DEVELOPMENT=OFF
- RESOURCE=OFF
- TALK=OFF
- EXCLUSIVE=OFF
- TYPEAHEAD=128
- KEYCOMP = WINDOWS
- TIME=999999
- _GENMENU="GENMENUX.PRG"
- _GENMENUX="GENMENU.PRG"
- _FOXDOC=""
- _FOXGRAPH=""
- _GENGRAPH=""
- _STARTUP=""
- _PDSETUP=""
- _GENPD=""
- _GENXTAB=""
- COMMAND = = (FILE("g_inilib.prg") OR
FILE("g_inilib.fxp")) AND g_inilib("C")
In some cases, your settings may differ. The last item, beginning
with COMMAND and ending with ("C"), should be entered on
one line.
Visual FoxPro Temporary Files
In Visual FoxPro, you must specify where to put temporary work
files. To do this, add the following line in the CONFIG.FPW file:
TMPFILES=[drive]:
In this example, [drive] is the letter of the drive you want to
use for your temporary files. This must be a drive letter, not a
directory specification.
If you do not specify where Visual FoxPro should put its
temporary files in your CONFIG.FPW file, all Visual FoxPro temporary
files will be created on your default drive.
