QVF Software Upgrade - Version 2.4:  A new version of the QVF software will be released Sunday June 27, 2004.  Because this upgrade will contain several major HAVA enhancements, a precise series of events must take place that will require your cooperation. 

Please Adhere to the Following Schedule:

Friday June 25, 2004 PM:

·         Make sure your server is left on over-night so it can automatically replicate.

·         If you usually do a manual replication, please do so prior to leaving the office on your last business day before the above date.  Failure to do a replication could result in loss of data. 

·         **DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES IN THE QVF AFTER THE REPLICATION HAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY**.

Monday June 28, 2004 AM:

·         You will receive an email and/or fax requesting that you manually upgrade your software using the QVF Server Manager. 

·         Open the QVF Server Manager

·         A message will appear, reminding you that no other programs should be open.  Click OK.  All boxes will be checked automatically.

·         Click on UPDATE SERVER NOW.  The new software will download first and then a replication will take place.

·         When the notice SERVER UPDATED SUCCESSFULLY appears, click on OK. 

·         You may now use the QVF program.  (See the QVF Desktop Reference Manual, page 13-1 for more details.)

·         **DO NOT WORK IN THE QVF UNTIL THE PROCESS COMPLETES SUCCESSFULLY**.

Attention County Remote Access Users:

• Counties who have remote access users should disable the PC Anywhere for the weekend. 
• To do this, right click on the PC Anywhere icon on the toolbar and click on DISABLE.
• Remote access users should not use the QVF from 6/25 through 6/28.  If you do, you will run the risk of losing your work.

(Note:  If the upgrade fails after several tries, please contact the Help Desk at 1-800-310-5697.)
