Welcome to RangeMaster Pro Newsletter

When a customer reports a bug or we discover it internally, we usually correct it immediately and release a maintenance upgrade.  These upgrades are free to existing users.   To determine if you have the latest version you need to compare your current version number with the latest upgrade version number on our website.

If your logon window is simply titled "Logon", you have RangeMaster Pro I (Basic), otherwise you have RangeMaster Pro II.  To find out what version number you have:

RangeMaster Pro I (Basic) usersclick the “License Agreement” button on the right side of the main window.  The version number displays in the middle of the window, at the top.

RangeMaster Pro II users, click menu Help > About RangeMaster Pro.  The version number is displayed near the top of the window, just to the right of the CSA logo.

Now that you know what version you have, you can go to our website’s Demo/Downloads page to see if you have the most current version.   Look for “Upgrade to version ...” and download the free maintenance upgrade if the upgrade version number is greater than your version number.

 

Have you ever wanted to ask the authors of a software program a question, report a bug, or suggest a new feature or a better way to do something?  Good luck!  If you do happen to reach someone, you have the challenge of overcoming language barriers or they don’t have a script for the question you are asking or you have to pay a fee just to talk with them. 

This is not the case with CornerStone Applications.  Customer service is one of our highest priorities.  If you call or email us, you will be communicating with an American who is directly involved in the design and development of RangeMaster Pro.  We provide this level of free support because we have found that the closer we are to our customers the more we understand their needs, and the more we understand their needs, the better the product we can provide.  The added benefit is that there is no better form of advertisement than happy customers sharing their experience with their peers.


Here are three new features that might make you want to upgrade to RangeMaster Pro II.

  1. Automatic expiration notification for firearm maintenance, qualification courses, training courses and license to carry permits that have expired or are about to expire.
  2. A Custody Log tab that automatically builds a history for each firearm.  It creates a new log record when a firearm is added into the system, transferred, and when it’s status changes.
  3. The ability to define a Location where firearms or equipment can be assigned.  This is similar to the officer tab but a Location record defines a place not a person.

Using pre-defined lists for fields with dropdowns is great for data consistency.  Managing some of these multi-column lists can be a little cumbersome if they’re not sorted in a meaningful way.  Here’s how to sort them:

Version I users: Within Table Maintenance, open the Firearm Mfg/Model, Equipment/Holster or Instructor/Armorer list.  Click on the column header that you want to sort by.  Click the Sort button on the RangeMaster Pro toolbar.  You can select multiple columns by clicking and dragging the mouse button over multiple headers.  You can also move columns by clicking a header to select it, then clicking it again and dragging it to a new location.

Version I users cannot change the sort order of dropdown fields.

Version II users:  From the Lists menu, open the Firearm or Equipment Manufacturer/Model list.  Click on a column header and drag it to the sort area to sort by that column.  You can drag additional columns to the sort area to further define the sort order.  You can move a column by clicking on its header and dragging it to the desired location.

To change the sort order of a multi-column dropdown field on one of the data entry tabs such as the Mfg/Model field on the Firearm tab, click the field’s dropdown arrow to display the list, then click the header of the column you want to sort by.

For all users, the sort order of a list will be re-set when you close the list window.
