Solution-IV® Version 8.71 Release NotesSolution-IV® Version 8.71 Release Notes

Introduction to 8.71

Solution-IV Accounting version 8.70 was released in June 2009. In the 8.71 version of Solution-IV we have incorporated over 75 Technical Bulletins and over 40 Enhancements.

Solution-IV version 8.71 sits on top of Thoroughbred’s OPENworkshop® version 8.7.0 which has some of its own new features that Solution-IV users can take advantage of such as:

  • Vista/Server 2008 UAC-Compliant – Version 8.70 supports a mix of Microsoft products including Vista, XP, Server 2000, 2003 and 2008 operating systems.
  • New User Boundaries – We have added additional user counts, making upgrades more convenient and cost effective.
  • Query-IV™/ Report-IV™ Print to Excel – You can print Report-IV and Query-IV reports directly to Microsoft Excel by using a new printer type – as easily as printing to a printer.
  • TS ReportServer™– Expanded save function.
  • Report-IV to PDF – Allows you to print any report in Solution-IV and have it automatically archived as a .pdf file (requires additional product license).
