Here are the major changes and enhancements to CompuDance
from Version 7.20 (06/05/2006) to Version 7.30.

 1. There is a new Configuration tab named Pay Assist. The default is Off. When you turn it on CompuDance
    will look at the Total Check Amount when entering a payment. If it finds an amount due that exactly
    matches that check amount, it will so inform you and ask if you want to apply the check to that balance.
    If you say Yes, CompuDance will complete that payment transaction for you to save you time.

 2. There are two new Configuration Tabs for entering a Tuition Scale.

    Tuition Scale 1 - allows the user to create a tuition scale based upon the number of classes taken by a
       student and/or family.  If you give discounts based upon taking multiple classes, you should look at this.
       The more classes a student/family takes, the lower the cost of each class, and the lower the tuition.

    Tuition Scale 2 - allows the user to create a tuition scale based upon the number of hours a student
       and a family have. If you give discounts based upon this idea, you should look at this.  The more hours
       (minutes) a student/family has, the lower the cost/hour.

       There is a new APPENDIX O that describes the Tuition Scales in great detail.
       You can download APPENDIX O from the bottom of the How To Update page on our web site.

 3. There is a new Configuration tab named Theme. CompuDance checks the Windows Version on your
     computer during installation and records it.  It will then adjust some of the displays that do not look
     the same in Windows Vista as they do in previous versions of Windows. If you are still having some
     display problems, use this Configuration tab to set your Theme.

 4. The Deposit Slip code has been completely re-written.

 5. When printing Class Statements the "Accounts with a Credit Balance" check box is enabled.

 6. We have added a new update for the E-Mail objects we use for CompuDance E-Mail operations.
    This should result in faster execution times and generally more robust, better supported-operations.

 7. There is a new box in the FRD. It shows the number of hours for which the family is registered.

 8. There is a new report in the Lists window. It is a list of Students and # of Hours taken.

 9. For 21 years CompuDance has been able to access up to five different "studios" for users who have
    multiple locations. The use of the term "studio" for those additional "places" has been confusing.
    Many people have considered that meant the number of "rooms" (classrooms) in the building.
    So . . we are changing the word "studio" to "location" starting with Version 7.3.

10. There is a new item in the Record Analysis Display - # of Student/hours & average hours per student.

11. The amount in the SRD Tuition Text Box of a family student is grey.

12. In the Main Window Tool Bar, we have deleted the Query & Apportion buttons. They can  now
     be found under GoTo in the Menu Bar. You still use Ctrl+Q for Query and Ctrl+O for Apportion.

13. In SRD Tool Bar we moved the F6-FRD button down by itself, and added a button for Recital.
     In FRD Tool Bar we moved the F5-SRD button down by itself, and added a button for Recital.

14. Added a reminder that statements will either skip or not skip accounts with an E-Mail address.

15. When displaying a Participation Report in the Recital Module, CompuDance would show
      a list of dancers who have less than three dances between their numbers.
      That Number (three) is now a variable. You can set it at any number 1 thru 9.

16. We rewrote the E-Mail Account Ledger routine.

17. We added the ability to Print the settings in the E-Mail Configuration tab.  Many users get a new
     computer or operating system then have trouble remembering their E-Mail Configuration
     Settings from the old computer/system.

18. The Zip Code List in Query is now automatically sent to Windows Clipboard.

19. The maximum number of Statements to display in the Statement Maintenance list is now 150.

20. There are now EFT and a CC Go Back operations that will return your transaction, student, and family files
      to the most recent EFT or CC Restore Point.

from Version 7.10 (06/06/2005) to Version 7.20.

 1. CompuDance will now accept Global EFT Payments for any Income Category, not just Tuition
    Categories.  The payment will be for the amount due in whatever category you select.

 2. We changed the process of entering Credit Card data in the SRD/FRD to be able to enter the
    Credit Card CVV Code. That is the three-digit code found on the signature stripe on the back of Visa
    and MasterCard cards; the four-digit code on the front of the AmEx card.

 3. CompuDance is now configured for batch global Credit Card Payments that can be sent to our new
