Download and Save this file to the GMSNET folder on the network drive, or on the C drive if you are not networked. Click on Save, or Save As, to select the location, then select the drive and path where the GMSNET folder exists.

A. On one workstation, using Windows Explorer, locate the GMSNET folder or the folder where you downloaded the AccountingJanuary22.exe  (either the network drive or the C drive if not networked). Double click on the exe file. If you get an Open file – Security warning, click on Run.

B. Unzip to folder: Select the GMSNET folder (located either on the network drive or the C drive if not networked), then in that field type manually \JANNET22, so that the path for unzipping is GMSNET\JANNET22 and click on Unzip. You will need to enter the password JANNET22. If the confirm file overwrite message appears, click on Yes. It should tell you that 57 files unzipped successfully. Close out of the Self Extractor form.

C. For a Microsoft Access database, do the following:

Double click on UpdateDBNet.exe that is in the GMSNET\JANNET22 folder.

Select Microsoft Access Database.

Select the folder where your current database exists and double click on conversionNet.mdb. If you only have one accounting directory, it will typically be in the GMSNET folder on your network drive. Note: If you do not have your database on a network drive, you will find it in C:\GMSNET.

Verify that the downloaded database which is revisionNet.mdb is from the folder where you unzipped the AccountingJanuary22.exe. If you followed the above directions, it would be located in the GMSNET\JANNET22 on the network drive.

Click on Backup Database. This will make a copy of your present database and save it with a different name in the same folder as your current database. After the completion bar is filled, the Update Database button will be enabled.

Click on Update Database. The automatic installation program will now update your database with the changes included with this revision and any from the previous revision that were not installed. You will receive a message “Database has been updated”. Click on Ok and exit the Update Database form.

If you get the message that the database has already been updated, please right click on the GMSACTG.EXE in your GMSACTG.NET folder and select Properties. Click on the Version tab and make sure it shows version 2.4.87.170. If it doesn’t, the revision has not been unzipped to the correct place. Please return to step A above.

If you have a different database that convert1.net and/or convert2.net are pointed to, you need to repeat the appropriate section C for each database.

C: For SQL Server Database, do the following on the server:

Note: All SQL Server users will need to do the backup through SQL Server Management Studio.

Double click on UpdateDBNet.exe in the GMSNET\JANNET22 folder.

Select Microsoft SQL Server Database.

Select the authentication mode that you use to connect to the SQL Server. If you choose SQL Server Authentication, you will need to enter the user name and password. Enter the Server Name and the Database Name. The database name should be ConversionNetSQL unless it was renamed.

Click on Update DB. The automatic installation program will now update your database with all of the changes included with this revision and any from the previous revision that were not installed. You will receive a message “Database has been updated”. Click on Ok and exit the Update Database form.

If you get the message that the database has already been updated, please right click on the GMSACTG.EXE in your GMSACTG.NET folder and select Properties. Click on the Version tab and make sure it shows version 2.4.87.170. If it doesn’t, the revision has not been unzipped to the correct place, please return to step A.

If you have a different database that convert1.net and/or convert2.net are pointed to, you need to repeat the appropriate section C for each database.

Note: On each workstation when you click on the GMS Accounting icon to go into the application, the software will compare the GMSACTG.exe to the database. If they are not the most recent versions, you will get the message “There is a newer version of the application. Your application needs to be updated.” Click on Ok. This will copy the GMSACTG.exe and any other pertinent files into C:\GMSACTG.NET so you are always assured each workstation is using the latest version. On each workstation, click on Help and About. The version should now be 2.4.87.170.

Note: Should you get an error when logging into GMS, that means your computer/network security is preventing the proper files from being copied. You can go to steps A and B above and unzip the AccountingJANNET22 file to your workstation into the C:\GMSACTG.net.
