*************************
Engagement v. 6.1.2 is now available. Your DVD should be arriving at your office next week. This release provides critical updates to the Engagement and Knowledge Coach application.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 6.X CUSTOMERS: We recommend that all customers using Engagement or Knowledge Coach v. 6.0 or v. 6.1 upgrade to v. 6.1.2 to take advantage of updates implemented since those releases. This also applies to customers who have installed a patch to address lock-up or other issues.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR KNOWLEDGE COACH CUSTOMERS: ProSystem fx Engagement v. 6.1.2 MUST be installed prior to you installing the 2010 Knowledge-Based Audits of Employee Benefit Plans for Knowledge Coach or any future Knowledge Coach titles. You will receive a separate e-fx News regarding the Employee Benefit Plans title.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 5.X CUSTOMERS: Customers currently using any 5.x version may upgrade at their discretion. Version 6.1.2 includes Windows 7 compatibility as well as integration with ProSystem fx Portal and ProSystem fx Tax (SaaS) products which may be needed by some customers. However, as there is always a risk associated with a software change, customers on 5.x should carefully consider these risks before upgrading during the busy season.
This Engagement v. 6.1.2 release resolves the following issues reported by 6.0 and 6.1 users:
- Issues related to the Engagement application locking-up upon open or close of binders are fixed where attributable to the Engagement software.
- Prior period balances will now update when workpaper reference columns are selected for the subsidiary trial balance column of a consolidated trial balance.
- Performance is improved when consolidating several trial balances that include a large number of accounts.
- Data conversion errors will no longer occur when consolidating trial balances.
- Time out failures no longer occur when using the Import from Engagement TB function.
- Trial balance links now display the correct balances when the same workpaper is open in more than one binder and the dual monitors option is not selected.
- Trial balance links to accounts over 32 characters and all variance column links now display correct values.
- Trial balance report workpaper references now display with the correct account if you re-imported and regrouped the accounts.
- Rounding account balances in consolidated trial balances are now accurate.
- Performance is improved when saving journal entries with a large number of lines.
- Doubling or quadrupling of trial balance link values in trial balances converted from Engagement v. 5.x no longer occurs.
- Edits made to “significant change description” fields in Knowledge Coach workpapers now flow to other staff members via synchronization, regardless of which user initiates the synchronization process.
- Problems with Excel will no longer occur when a non-Engagement Excel workbook is open and you close a Knowledge Coach Excel workbook.
NOTE REGARDING UPCOMING RELEASES: Starting with our version 6.5 release of Engagement this summer, we will no longer be supporting direct upgrade from Engagement versions prior to v. 5.5. If you are using version 5.0 or earlier, we strongly recommend you upgrade to the latest version by July 2010 in order to support direct upgrade in the future.

Rob,
This is Chaim Preiser.
I am using the trial balance feature and the "Sum of Account Groups" row of a p/l trial balance report doesn't seem to be updating correctly. This appears to be a problem in every binder that I am using the feature.
We called CCH and they suggested to delete the binder from the local file room and resynch another copy. This worked to update the current year balance, on the binder used during the call. However, the prior year balance is still not updating correctly, and this solution doesn't seem to work on other binders. CCH has no other answer, except to upgrade.
Do you know of any other solution to this issue, other than upgrading?
Anyone can comment, not just Rob.
