SOFTWARE UPDATES


Software updates to keep up with changes in the occupational health field and advances in technology have always been an integral part of MediTrax development. Our design team works constantly with seasoned occupational physicians and occupational health nurses, allied health professionals, finance and billing "gurus", information systems administrators, clinical program directors, and individual MediTrax users to ensure the software continues to maintain its "state-of-the-art" support of experienced occupational health professionals.

We regularly inform our users about the availability of updates, and software updates are available at this website for immediate downloading by all users with a current Support Agreement.


The most recent update is
Version 5.0
Build EE
14 November 2008

To download the latest software update, click the link above. You will then be prompted to Save the file to disk. Click the "Save" link, and then choose the folder in which you would like to save the update file.

Write down both the exact name of the file, and the folder on your hard drive in which the file is saved. We highly recommend creating a folder named "Downloads"on your computer's Desktop (or as a subfolder of your MediTrax program folder) and downloading the file into that folder, where it will be easy to find. You may also wish to save it in an empty folder to prevent losing track of it among other files already on your computer.

The changes implemented in this release are listed here.

NOTE: You may need to temporarily disable Norton Personal Firewall to download this file.

NOTE: If you can't successfully download the file because your Internet connection breaks off, please try again. If you still have problems, contact MediTrax Tech Support at support@meditrax.com.

ADVICE YOU'VE HEARD BEFORE

1. Never run while carrying scissors.

2. Never try to beat a train to the crossing.

3. As with any software program, it's a good idea to make a backup copy of your current data tables as insurance against power failure, earthquake, fire, flood, rain, hail, hurricane, sleet, pestilence, tornado, volcanic eruption, plagues of locusts, or any other "it-can't-happen-here" disaster occurring right in the middle of an update process!

We've tried to take all the guesswork out of backing up your data tables ... just click Utilities / Database Administration / Backup Data Tables ... and MediTrax will create a .ZIP file containing all your current data. The backup can be created on your file server or a local hard drive, although we strongly recommend using removable media such as a flash drive or CD.

 

MediTrax's downloadable software update files have names ending in ".exe" and are self-extracting Zip archives. A Zip archive is a package (containing one or more files) that has been "zipped" to make it smaller and to provide easy downloading of numerous files simultaneously. An archive that is self-extracting is capable of "unzipping" itself.

Once the file has completely downloaded to your computer, ensure that all users are logged out of MediTrax and "unzip" the contents of the downloaded file by simply double-clicking on it. You will be prompted to select the folder in which your MediTrax data tables are located. The archive will "unzip" itself and will update the files within your MediTrax folder.

With MediTrax, it's not necessary to perform "sequential updating". Each new release automatically detects the software version currently in use and makes all necessary modifications to program files.

NOTE: It is NOT necessary to update the desktop shortcut(s) to your MediTrax program. Once the data tables are updated on the file server, they may be accessed from any workstation on the network.

NOTE FOR CLIENT-SERVER INSTALLATIONS: MediTrax supports a "client-server" mode in which the MT5.EXE program executable is stored on each workstation, and only the data tables are maintained on the file server. If this is the case at your facility, you'll next need to copy MT5.EXE to each workstation so it can be invoked by clicking on the desktop icon.
