Now displays both Contact date and Status date on the Long-range planners.
Error Corrections:
Corrected a problem where the Long-Range planners were not being printed when Status date was selected, and the customer's Status date had changed. Reset the flags that tell the report to print if the status date changes.

Version - 1.8.5 -- 03/27/1999
Enhancements:
The Daily Phone Contact and Manager's Daily Contact reports have been renamed to Long Range Planning reports.
The letter log has been renamed to Daily Planner, and check boxes have been added. This report also performs a page break when the sale person changes. This allows you to have a report that you can provide to each sales person with a list of contacts and letters for the current day.
When adding a new department, the address information from the previously displayed department is carried over. This eases the entry of departments because you would only need to enter the address information one time.
Recompiled the entire program in the latest version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro (6.0) to include any enhancements/modifications to the base product that Microsoft may have implemented.
Added a Title field to the Sales person screen that is also included in the merge fields for form letters. This will allow more flexibility in various letter series.
A "What's New" screen has been added to let you know what enhancements or modifications have been made to the program.
Error Corrections:
When entering customers, the "Total Customers" on the Browse page did not update until you had closed the screen and opened it back up. This has been corrected.
Manager's Daily Contact (Now Long-Range Planner) report - A divide by zero error was causing this report to crash Stealth in some instances. This has been corrected.
