**Revised Waren dataset effective 2/23/12**
In response to issues that some students were having with accessing inventory and payroll records after restoring Waren from a previously made backup file, Sage Software provided the authors with a solution to the issue. This fix resulted in a revised Waren dataset that was provided electronically to instructors in February 2012. When following the instructions in Chapter 1 (page 1–12) about loading the Waren dataset, students should use the revised dataset provided by their instructor, NOT the Warsposu folder on the CD in the back of the book.

Some students have difficulty accessing the Waren Sports Supply dataset. For these students, they likely did not follow the instructions on page 1–12 to load the Waren Sports Supply dataset as a separate step after the program loads. Follow the instructions on the top of page 1–12 to load the Waren dataset, which describe copying the Warsposu folder directly to the hard drive.

Note: See previous item about a revised Waren dataset that was provided to instructors in February 2012. Students should use the revised Waren dataset when following the page 1–12 instructions, not the dataset from the CD.

This dataset needs to be loaded separately because it is an additional company developed by the authors. The other two companies used in the project, Bellwether Garden Supply and Stone Arbor Landscaping, were developed by Sage Software so they automatically load when the program installs.

If your CD sleeve is missing a serial number, contact your instructor immediately. He or she will provide you with a serial number label to affix to the CD sleeve in the back of the Instructions and Assignments book. The software will not load without a serial number.

If students receive a prompt to enter a Tax Registration ID while attempting to process payroll, they should ignore any steps suggested by Sage to update the payroll tables. In addition to answering any questions as if they want to ignore the payroll updates that Sage is attempting to download, students should mark any checkboxes that appear that say "do not show this window again" so that they do not have to continue receiving payroll update prompts in the future. These prompts appear simply because Sage attempts to make sure users have the most recent payroll tax tables. All necessary payroll tables for companies used in our book are already entered into the program at the correct amounts for this project.
