ACCPAC Plus Service Packs (PTF Files)

Verify that you have the current ACCPAC Plus PTF files by going into ACCPAC Plus and pressing F3, List Version
Numbers. You will see each installed program name with its version number, followed by a series of numbers, which
represent the date of the current program temporary fix (PTF) file.

ACCPAC International does not authorize their Business Partners to include PTF's on our web sites, but you may use this
page to check your versions. You may email me to request any PTF's that you require.

For example, notice that Accounts Payable has the numbers 970315, which would represent a patch file dated 3/15/97.
Compare these numbers to the numbers in the tables below. Contact us if you need to receive the current files.

Instructions on Installing ACCPAC Plus PTF Files

For all PTF's except the Windowing System Manager:


• Start ACCPAC Plus. When the Start list appears, press F3 to display the System
Manager Menu.

• Press I, or use the Up or Down Arrow key to highlight Install Programs, then press
Enter.

• Insert the PTF diskette in your diskette drive.

• Follow the instructions on the screen.

• When you are finished, store this PTF disk with the other ACCPAC Plus program disks. If you reinstall ACCPAC
in the future, you must also reinstall this PTF disk, using the Install Programs options on the System Manager Menu.

sure these are correct and follow the remaining prompts to complete installation of the Windowing System Manager
service pack or PTF.

Instructions for PTF files in ACCPAC.


Create an installable floppy by downloading this file. Make note of the directory you download to, such as c:\download.
Have a blank formatted floppy ready for each patch that you receive.

Assuming that you download your files into c:\download, here is the command. The example is for the AP 990222 patch –
please substitute with the appropriate filename(s).

Assuming it is C:\download, use the following command, from DOS:

C:\download\ap990222 -d a:

Then, from ACCPAC (with everyone out of ACCPAC except you) press F3 and select Install Programs. Follow the onscreen
directions. It goes fast, depending upon your system, you may not even think it work.

Now, when you press F3, list version numbers, your patches will show up by the programs, such as:
