Upgrading Mantra to Version 4.03A

Remember to upgrade all the Mantra programs in your organisation - if data is shared all users MUST be running the same version.


UPGRADING FROM VERSION 4.02

Register and download the new version.

Exit from your existing Mantra program.

Follow the instructions sent to you when you registered the new version, making sure that the drive and directory locations you choose are the same as your existing locations.

Your old report and jobsheet style files are NOT overwritten when you upgrade. A separate directory is created for old files: a message is displayed when this happens advising you to write down the directory name. If you are sure that you have not edited or created report and jobsheet style files you can delete the old directory and the files it contains. If you have edited or created files you can move them to the Reports directory.
