Instructions to Upgrade to MoneyFinder 1.1 from MedEase versions 5.53 and 5.54


NOTE:    This upgrade pack puts MoneyFinder.exe and a new version of MComPlus.exe into the MedEase root directory, as well as creating new MoneyFinder shortcuts. Users can now launch MoneyFinder.exe rather than Medease.exe. MoneyFinder contains a detailed setup and user guide that can be accessed via the Help Menu.

*Network Installations - Disconnect all users from the DATA folder before launching MedEase for upgrade to MoneyFinder*

**Network Installations - Before upgrading MedEase to MoneyFinder, disconnect all users, close MoneyFinder, and create a backup copy of the primary DATA Folder**

***Network Installations - After backing up the DATA folder be sure to Reindex and Repack the MedEase Databases prior to upgrade. This will decrease database size, and will make the upgrade run more quickly***

****Network Installations - If MComPlus.exe runs from a location other than the MedEase root, or if the DATA folder is installed in another location, MComPlus must be manually moved to the appropriate location before launching MoneyFinder after the extraction.****
