    3. Hi David, Thank you for that insight, but it does not apply to FH. Every paid-for version (V2.0, V3.0, V4.0) of FH and every free upgrade download (V2.2, V2.3, V3.1.1, V3.1.2, V4.1.3) and every free trial are full installable versions not patches. In order to qualify for the V2 to V3 upgrade discount price, or the V3 to V4 upgrade discount price, FH must determine that you have bought the preceding version, before installing the later full version. It does this by checking that the preceding version is installed, which usually needs no extra user action. It is only when re-installing FH on a new PC, that each major version (V2.0, V3.0, V4.0) has to be installed in sequence, which requires the licence Registration Key for each version. There is I believe a similar Microsoft scenario. If you buy an upgrade of Windows at a reduced price then the new install requires evidence that the preceding version is in your possession.

Due to the size of some products this would not be practical so you send an upgrade or 'patch kit'. At a certain point in the upgrade cycle there becomes a point where the 'sticking plaster' (upgrades) get cumbersome so the supplier arranges for a full release which includes all the updates to that point in time.

Most software suppliers have 'intelligence' in their version number and with FH change in the first digit (I assume) is a full installable version and increments in the 'dot' numbers are patches or upgrades. This seems to have got a bit confused with FH with the release of Ver 2.3. It has long been a feature of the upgrade scenario with most commercial software suppliers that you have to keep up with your patch releases, if you loose some you will have to back to the latest installable version and reload all the patch kits to bring you back up to the current version.

I saved as a query but when I go to Configure Columns for the Individual Records List and click on Load from Query, the query name I saved is not there.

    3. Sage Payroll pricing structure is nothing like FH, it is paid for by an annual fee not a one off charge with updates as and when released so the comparison is not valid.

(We are not talking about minor updates, which are free software downloads.) So how does FH check you have paid for the previous Major Version in order to qualify for the reduced price? Answer: It requires that the previous Major Version is already installed on your PC. The scenario of installing an earlier version only applies to re-installing from scratch on a new PC.
