OutReach Version History

Important Information for Current OutReach Users

Version 1.6 requires an update to the OutReach database. If you use the default database located in the default installation directory, then this update is performed automatically by the installation package. However, if you have renamed the database, or your database is located in another directory, then you will need to perform the database update manually using the following steps:

• Install the update package for v1.6 above.
• Locate the updatedb.exe file in the directory where you installed OutReach.
• Double-click the updatedb.exe file.
• Click the Browse button and navigate to and select your OutReach database.
• Click the OK button to update the database.
