The Updates
BETA VERSIONS

Officially the company stopped providing updates to our DOS programs in 2004, and we encourage all our customers to consider our web-based product OneSite which is fully Windows and Internet compatible. However we do realize that some users are unable to implement a web-based product at this time, and I have been authorized to provide some essential updates. But I do so without the support of our Quality Assurance department for testing. While I make every effort to test the living daylights out of every change I make, I cannot promise that you won't ever see a big red error box. Please understand that product updates from 2004 onward are considered beta test versions, and I count on your help to let me know if something does not work the way it should.

These updates only contain the EXE changes necessary to implement certain bug fixes. You must have a fully installed AOI program with system data in order to use these upgrades. We strongly recommend that you back up your AOI folder to a safe place (e.g., copy C:\AOI to C:\AOIBAK) before you install any upgrades.

Version 2.80 Updated 04/23/08: Added comments field for page 3, line 6
Nearly three years in the making, version 2.80 contains all the RD budget form updates for 3560-7 and 3560-10, as well as a fully functional upload to the MINC website, and several bug fixes useful to both conventional and compliance users. Download the version that applies to your needs - conventional if you do not use RHS budget forms, compliance if you need the RHS forms and have more than five properties, or compliance lite if you have five or fewer properties.

Last update: 03/30/09 Fixed a problem with historical actuals doubling from the prior year, and fixed an error in the line audit report.

The Tools

LHA backup extract (for use with new install above)

Diagnostic and Repair Tools AOIINTEG ver. 1.38 and AOIFIXER ver. 1.05
Download the above aoifix.lzh into your AOI program folder and get to the command prompt. Then change to the AOI prompt (CD \AOI {enter}) and type LHA X aoifix /c to extract the programs.

To test your AOI data files, type AOIINTEG pppp {enter} where pppp is the property code you want to test. It will produce a report file called ppppINTG.LOG which will list GL entries out of balance, closed transactions in open periods, open transactions in closed periods, check numbers that don't match between the header and the detail, and GL entries incorrectly marked as closing entries. It will also report checks where the GL total does not match the check ledger total, but that's because I have a problem tracing checks that have been written, voided, and reissued to a different vendor, so don't worry too much about the check amount errors.

The repair tool, AOIFIXER, works the same way: AOIFIXER pppp {enter}. This program fixes three problems automatically:

  1. Lost recurring (RCUR) or reversing (REV1 & REV2) GL entries
  2. Blank lines in databases that prevent posting A/P to G/L
  3. Month end dates marked as closed to prevent RR import
aoiunlok.lzh GL Journal Unlock
AOI will lock certain GL Journal transactions so that they cannot be edited. Some can remain unlocked and accessible for years; others will be locked as soon as they are posted. Why? I have no idea. But you can install AOIUNLOK to unlock any GL journal entries in an open period. After downloading and running the LHA X AOIUNLOK install command, type:
aoiunlok pppp [start date] [end date] [JE type]
Where pppp is the property code such as ABCD or J123. If you specify nothing else, all journal entries will be unlocked through the oldest open period. If you wish, you can optionally specify a starting date, and with that an ending date (current date is assumed for the ending date), and you can specify a specific type of journal entry such as APCA, APIN, or MAN to only unlock those journal entries. For example, to unlock all JEs for property WXYZ from the A/P check register from April 1 2003 through July 29th 2003, you would type:
aoiunlok WXYZ 04/01/2003 07/29/2003 APCA
