I’m getting “illegal function call’ error. Why?
Change date format in regional settings to dd-mmm-yy and time hh:mm:ss tt or h:mm:ss tt.
We have A1 (morning) and A2 (general) shift timings. How to take only A1 shift absentees list?
Enter A1 in the ‘shift’ field in “Time & Attendance window” and click on ‘Absent’ button.
The reader is showing wrong time (or date). How to set accurate time?
Ensure your computer time is correct.
iGuard: In iServer program, Right mouse click on the reader, which has wrong time and "Time
Synchronize".
TR510/TR550: The downloader program has option to update reader time with PC time on “Time
Scheduler” page.
TR40xx: The downloader program has option to update reader time with PC time on “Download”
page, under Tools-> Options.
It is safer to adjust date/time under personal control and not leave the option “ON”, because wrong
PC time will result in wrong clock times and create major problem.
I have received a file for upgrading TAS2000 to new version. How can I use this file to safely
upgrade my system?
You will either receive an EXE file or a ZIP file that contains latest version files.
It's a good idea NOT to do this job towards the end of your day. This is because while mostly it
may finish in 30 minutes, sometimes it may take even 2 hours.
Please follow the steps given below to upgrade:
1. Stop Downloader program of your attendance terminal so that fresh data is not downloaded
from the terminals till upgrading is over.
2. Use “Interface To Post Data” and Post the last remaining data manually.
3. Stop TAS2000 system completely (exit from Interface To Post Data and Operations).
4. Back up your TAS2000 system (TASQLFRM.MDB, TASQLCOM.MDB and
TASQLDAT.MDB files). Ensure you are backing up the correct files. The date and size of files
will tell you which files are latest.
5. Double click the Upgrade file received from us and follow the instructions to extract all the
files into a folder C:\SMETMP (over-write old files if they exist).
6. Copy the three currently used files (lets call them OLD files) to C:\SMETMP\OLD folder (if
needed, create folders & overwrite files). The three files are TASQLFRM.MDB,
TASQLDAT.MDB and TASQLCOM.MDB.
It is absolutely VITAL that you copy correct files. The TASQLFRM.MDB file is almost always
in the C:\PROGRAM FILES\TAS2KSQL folder. The other two files may be in C:\PROGRAM
FILES\TAS2KSQL\TASDATA folder (as is the case in most of places where two or more users
have access to TAS2000 system. Or these two may be in C:\PROGRAM FILES\TAS2KSQL
folder itself. In some cases users have kept these files on D: drive or a server.
In any case, ensure that you copy the correct files.
7. Copy the new files TASQLCOM.MDB and TASQLDAT.MDB from C:\SMETMP to
C:\SMETMP\NEW folder.
8. Copy TAS2KHUP.MDB file from C:\SMETMP to C:\PROGRAM FILES\TAS2KSQL folder
(over-write existing)
9. From TAS2000 program group select "Update and Upgrade".
