With the 2010 Strategic Partner Conference seemingly just around the corner, you can imagine that all the latest news at O'Neil is focused on that event.  As we work with hotels, event organizers, vendors and you, the attendees, we can already feel the buzz growing.

All the latest news is shown below, and most exciting is that donations and sponsorship is already raising money for our chosen charity.  Remember that 100% of contributions go to the charity, and so there is a great opportunity to make a difference.

Also in this edition is a big technical focus on the latest updates for RS-SQL 4.0.  As with any new release, our early adopters get straight to work identifying any problems, and they have carried out a great job, allowing us to release a quick update. 

As always, I hope you enjoy this edition of the newsletter.

2010 Strategic Partner Conference  - Agenda Now Available

The agenda for the Strategic Partner Conference is now available on our website and has some great topics being discussed.  Go to http://www.oneilsoft.com/news-portal/conference-news and click on the Agenda tab.

The keynote speaker will be Tom Adams, who many of you know as an expert in the marketing of records management services.  Tom will be sharing is wisdom in the area of Marketing in the Internet Age.

There are also 16 speakers sessions, with many being conducted by O'Neil users, showing how they have used the software to solve particular business issues.  From reporting interfaces to Web customizations, these generous users are willing to share the knowledge of what they have achieved. 

Four of the talks from our support group look particularly interesting.  They are:

•  Paperless Order Fulfillment
•  Defining your own import format and other cool importing tips
•  RSWeb.NET; the latest and greatest and how to make it uniquely yours
• New functionality of invoicing; draft invoices, schedule invoice runs in advance, automatically apply rate increases and more

It's all happening in April.  Can you afford not to be there?

Charity Update: Over $5,000 raised for Orange County Ronald McDonald House

The idea behind the Ronald McDonald House is simple: provide a comfortable and affordable “home away from home” for families shouldering the burdens associated with a child, who is being treated for a serious illness at a nearby hospital.  Our goal is to help this caring, compassionate and charitable organization lift some of the heavy financial burden on families, who already struggle with so many concerns and fears.   A typical, but sad story can be read at: http://www.ronaldhouseoc.org/family_stories.php?a=detail&id=17

We knew we could help and already, through your kind generosity and sponsorship of events at this years' show, we have already been able to promise $5000 to this deserving charity.  But please let's not stop there...  your company can sponsor any of the events or you can make a donation online and remember, even if you cannot attend, please consider making a charitable donation.

Thank you for your support.

**UPDATED** RS-SQL Version 4.0 - Readiness Check

RS-SQL version 4.0 comes with a new program designed to ensure you are ready to upgrade.  Known as the Readiness Check program, it will be available on the RS-SQL installation CD in the folder with the same name.  You should run this program prior to upgrading your database to RS-SQL version 4.0.

So what will it do for you?

The updated program examines even more of your RS-SQL database, looking for unexpected objects that might interfere with the RS-SQL 4.0 database upgrade.   The Readiness Check program will also check for and report on SQL Server 2000 presence, and inform you of the RS-SQL 4.0 requirement for SQL Server 2005 or later.

Click on this link to go to the user forum, where you can download the updated Readiness Check Program and associated files.  Unzip all the contents before executing the ReadinessCheck.exe program.
