Utilities

Utility program

The utility program can perform various tasks on your database files such as index corruption or damage and in most cases can repair any problems found.

Database corruption with Probate Plus v3 is normally due to system failure such as network problems or workstations crashing. If database corruption becomes a repeat problem it will be worth moving to the full client-server version of Probate Plus v3. Contact the helpdesk for more details.

The utility can also rename matter references (to be used with caution) and produce various system reports including a full address book report.

IHT200 printing assistant

For : Windows (9x or higher) plus Acrobat 4.x / 5.x / 6.x / 7.x

Currently unavailable

 

The standard IHT200_Comp form from the Inland Revenue does not allow you to easily print a selection of the supporting schedules. Be sure that you've only ticked the "Yes" boxes you actually need on page 2 of the form. Ignore the "No" boxes completely.

The IHT200 printing assistant works around this limitation by only printing the pages for the "D" supporting schedules that you have selected.
