if (!isset($_SESSION['bordercolor']))
    $_SESSION['bordercolor'] = "#8cacbb";
$table_style     = "cellpadding=3 border=1 bordercolor='".$_SESSION['bordercolor']."' class='tablestyle'";
$table_style2     = "cellpadding=3 border=1 bordercolor='#cccccc' class='tablestyle2'";

You +must immediately +login on company 0, the first company you created, as admin +(called the superadmin).

Go +to the 'Setup' tab and run 'Software +Upgrade'. +Mark the checkbox 'Install' and press 'Upgrade System'. You must +also do this if you upgrade from 2.2 Beta to 2.2 RC. This will +upgrade ALL your companies.

If something goes wrong during upgrade, you can enter here again and try 'Force Upgrade', and press 'Upgrade System' again.

There are no database changes during a major and minor release. Like from 2.2 to 2.2.1 - 2.2.X .

Enter +'Setup' tab, 'System and Generel GL Setup'. Set the correct +Accounts for Retained Earnings, Profit/Loss Year and Bank Charge.

Enter +'Setup' tab, 'Access Setup'. Check all the roles and change as you +please. The roles have been converted from the former Access Roles and +may need some changes.

Enter +'Setup' tab, 'Company Setup'. If you want Automatic Item Price +Calculations from Standard Cost, add a percent to add and +eventually round to the nearest XX Cent. Also check that Base for Auto +Price calculations is set.
