Technical Issues and Fixes

• Corrupted QB Files and 'out of control logs'. If a QuickBooks file gets corrupted, it would add unnecessary lines to the log.  Those will be truncated now, as the only need is to know that the file is corrupted and where it became corrupted..
• Terminal Services/Remote Desktop - Improved installation and registry corrections
• Quantity Errors if Serial Number/Lot Number warnings turned off - Fixed an issue where if the warnings were turned off you could enter less serial numbers than the total line quantity - resulting in incorrect report quantities.
• Synchronizer Shutdown Issue.  Primarily XP users were experiencing an abnormal Synchronizer Shutdown Issue.
• Open A/R - fixed issue where sales tax items as line items in invoices and credit memos were not showing.
• Job Costing - fixed issue where Markup Amount was not calculated when markup % was used.
• Time Tracking - fixed issue where price level rate was incorrect.
• Invoices (All subjects) - fixed issue where quantity wsa null, percenetage > 0 and total line amount > 0 would show null quantity instead of 1 (as QuickBooks does).
• Internal Configuration Changes - Changes to create better handling of initial loads and logic.
