Latitude Corporate Edition - 9217.0801
		Email Invoices
		Raise invoices and email them directly from the invoice screen
		This feature is not available in the Latitude Remote Client (LRC).
		See invoice -> Latitude ribbon at the top of the screen -> Email button -> enter recipient, subject, body & check attachments -> view in Outlook (or another email client) -> click send
		New Higher Capacity & More Secure 64-bit Application
		Run Latitude natively with 64-bit editions of Microsoft Office 2010 SP1, 2013 and 2016
		Benefits of 64-bit Software
		Uses 64-bit Office engine & system libraries that enforce use of Hardware Data Execution Prevention (DEP) security protection which prevents malicious code from running on your system.
		The absence of hard limits on Excel workbook sizes mean you can export large (over 2GB) reports from Latitude to Excel.
		64-bit Windows & 64-bit Software
		Latitude 64-bit edition is dependent on the "bitness" of the Microsoft Office version installed and NOT on the Microsoft Windows version installed on a computer. So, if you have 64-bit Windows installed, you can, but don't need to use 64-bit versions of software on it, eg. 32-bit editions of Office and Latitude will run on 64-bit Windows. In fact, Microsoft defaults to installing 32-bit Office on 64-bit Windows computers (see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Choose-between-the-64-bit-or-32-bit-version-of-Office-2dee7807-8f95-4d0c-b5fe-6c6f49b8d261).
		Note, in the instructions below, we use "32-bit Office computer" or "64-bit Office computer" to refer to Office "bitness" rather than Windows "bitness" when referring to a computer that suits 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Latitude.
		Warning on Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Office
		If you currently use any 3rd party Office applications or plugins with your 32-bit Office, you must ask their various software vendors about your 64-bit options, as moving from 32-bit to 64-bit "breaks" most plugins that use 32-bit Windows system libraries.
		Latitude Installation on Networks with 32-bit and/or 64-bit Office
		All 32-bit Office
		Nothing to think about as this has been the default Latitude installation environment since the 1990's.
		All 64-bit Office
		This is also handled by Latitude, as the fact that 64-bit Office is installed on a computer tells the Latitude installer to install 64-bit Latitude.
		Mixed Environment with 32-bit and 64-bit Office on Different Workstations
		NOTE:
		The fact that 64-bit Office is installed on a computer tells the Latitude installer to install 64-bit Latitude, otherwise it will install 32-bit Latitude.
		If you don't have 64-bit Office installed on a computer, the Latitude installer will install a 32-bit Office runtime by default.
		If you already have 32-bit Latitude installed on existing computers and you have new 64-bit Office computers
		Run the Latitude installer the same way as before on these 64-bit Office computers
		If you already have 64-bit Latitude installed and you want to install Latitude on 32-bit Office computers
		Run the Latitude installer the same way as before on these 32-bit Office computers
		Upgrade Latitude to a newer version (eg. 9217.0101 to 9217.0801)
		First, run the Latitude installer on a 32-bit Office computer BEFORE, running it again on a 64-bit Office computer
		The Automatic Deployment Feature (ADF) will then automatically update all other 32-bit and 64-bit Office computers on your network with you having to run the Latitude installer on again on each of them
		Move From 32-bit to 64-bit Office on a computer
		Read the "Warning on Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Office" above before proceeding
		Uninstall Latitude and then uninstall 32-bit Office
		Install 64-bit Office and then install 64-bit Latitude
		Do the reverse if you need to move from 64-bit Office to 32-bit Office

		Various bug fixes

Latitude Professional Edition - 9217.0801
		All New Robust SQL Server Database
		Improved Latitude database performance, reliability, data integrity and security using a SQL Server or free SQL Express based backend database.
		Reliability & Data Integrity
		Latitude now uses an intelligent server based data manager, so when a crash or network fault occurs, the underlying tables are not directly affected. To achieve this the data manager uses transactions and doesn't commit incomplete data changes to the database before they are complete, and so avoids database corruption.
		Performance
		The new Latitude database is highly optimized to perform filtering and data manipulation on the server and only transfers a minimum of data across the network to client workstations. This vastly reduces network related bottlenecks and improves performance of up to five fold, depending on the complexity of queries and data views.
		Security
		By using a database server rather than direct file system access to store data, ordinary users will have a harder time trying to break into or copy the database.
		Directly Email Invoices
		Raise invoices and email them directly from the invoice screen
		See invoice -> Latitude ribbon at the top of the screen -> Email button -> enter recipient, subject, body & check attachments -> view in Outlook (or another email client) -> click send
		New Higher Capacity & More Secure 64-bit Application
		Run Latitude natively with 64-bit editions of Microsoft Office 2010 SP1, 2013 and 2016
		Benefits of 64-bit Software
		Uses 64-bit Office engine & system libraries that enforce use of Hardware Data Execution Prevention (DEP) security protection which prevents malicious code from running on your system.
		The absence of hard limits on Excel workbook sizes mean you can export large (over 2GB) reports from Latitude to Excel.
		64-bit Windows & 64-bit Software
		Latitude 64-bit edition is dependent on the "bitness" of the Microsoft Office version installed and NOT on the Microsoft Windows version installed on a computer. So, if you have 64-bit Windows installed, you can, but don't need to use 64-bit versions of software on it, eg. 32-bit editions of Office and Latitude will run on 64-bit Windows. In fact, Microsoft defaults to installing 32-bit Office on 64-bit Windows computers (see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Choose-between-the-64-bit-or-32-bit-version-of-Office-2dee7807-8f95-4d0c-b5fe-6c6f49b8d261).
		Note, in the instructions below, we use "32-bit Office computer" or "64-bit Office computer" to refer to Office "bitness" rather than Windows "bitness" when referring to a computer that suits 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Latitude.
		Warning on Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Office
		If you currently use any 3rd party Office applications or plugins with your 32-bit Office, you must ask their various software vendors about your 64-bit options, as moving from 32-bit to 64-bit "breaks" most plugins that use 32-bit Windows system libraries.
		Latitude Installation on Networks with 32-bit and/or 64-bit Office
		All 32-bit Office
		Nothing to think about as this has been the default Latitude installation environment since the 1990's
		All 64-bit Office
		This is also handled by Latitude, as the fact that 64-bit Office is installed on a computer tells the Latitude installer to install 64-bit Latitude
		Mixed Environment with 32-bit and 64-bit Office on Different Workstations
		NOTE:
		The fact that 64-bit Office is installed on a computer tells the Latitude installer to install 64-bit Latitude, otherwise it will install 32-bit Latitude.
		If you don't have 64-bit Office installed on a computer, the Latitude installer will install a 32-bit Office runtime by default.
		If you already have 32-bit Latitude installed on existing computers and you have new 64-bit Office computers
		Run the Latitude installer the same way as before on these 64-bit Office computers
		If you already have 64-bit Latitude installed and you want to install Latitude on 32-bit Office computers
		Run the Latitude installer the same way as before on these 32-bit Office computers
		Upgrade Latitude to a newer version (eg. 9217.0101 to 9217.0801)
		First, run the Latitude installer on a 32-bit Office computer BEFORE, running it again on a 64-bit Office computer
		The Automatic Deployment Feature (ADF) will then automatically update all other 32-bit and 64-bit Office computers on your network with you having to run the Latitude installer on again on each of them
		Move From 32-bit to 64-bit Office on a computer
		Read the "Warning on Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Office" above before proceeding
		Uninstall Latitude and then uninstall 32-bit Office
		Install 64-bit Office and then install 64-bit Latitude
		Do the reverse if you need to move from 64-bit Office to 32-bit Office
