Compiles that go to the client

Whenever a version goes to a client, we NEED to

1) do a checkin
2) Build a release version to send to the client
2) tag the state of the program (and any satellite programs) with the version number of the release version sent to the client (and program name, if a satellite version).

Example: you change SupplierChecker for SNR. When everything is working, you check in the code, build a release version (noting the version number), and send it to SNR. Immediately afterwards, you tag SupplierChecker and AmexCommon (which is also used by SupplierChecker) with the tag "SupplierChecker 1.0.xxxx.yyyy (where xxxx and yyyy are the other parts of the version number of the release version sent to SNR).

-------------------------

Why do we do this? When e.g. SNR calls and says he has a bug, we can check the EXACT code that he was using. Also, if you've started new changes, you can always go back to a version WITHOUT the new changes to quickly correct a bug.

Install 24U Simple Dialog Freeware Plugin

The freeware installer can be found on \\server2003\Permanent\Software Depot\Plug-ins. Drop the AutoInstaller folder and the 24uPlugInInstall.fp5 DB into C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Developer 6\ folder, and run the auto installer. Unclick all but the "W" (Windows) version of the 24U SimpleDialog plug in, and hit the Update All button. That's it.

20060806 ED: New Instructions at \\server2003\Permanent\Software Depot\Plug-ins\24U Simple Dialog FM Plugin\readme.txt:
I BELIEVE that the only thing you need to do is copy the file 24uSimpleDialog.fmx to your \Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Developer 6\System folder. Either that, or run the install process in the "\\server2003\Permanent\Software Depot\Plug-ins\24U Simple Dialog FM Plugin\Old Contents and Instructions (not working)" folder and THEN copy in the fmx file.

I NEVER get this working on the first try. Please update these instructions if my first suggestion DOES work. Thanks.
