Download the most recent help file ().
The help file is included in the PocketFMS installer, so basically you do not have to download it from this page since it should already be present on your system. To access it, press the [F1] key while PocketFMS Desktop is running. Only updates to the help file in between of two PocketFMS releases will have to be downloaded here. These help files are easily recognized: they have a version number higher than v1 (for example 0.9.66v3). The version number is mentioned on the 'About' page in the manual, the most recent version at this time is
.
You can start the download by clicking the 'Download help file link on the left. Most likely your browser or download manager will ask you what to do with the file (PocketFMS.chm). The best solution is to save it directly to your PocketFMS program folder, which is usually located at C:\Program Files\PocketFMS. It's safe to overwrite the version that's already present. PocketFMS will automatically use the updated file, provided you placed it correctly as described above. The help file can be opened either by double-clicking it in Explorer, or pressing the [F1] key in PocketFMS Desktop.
If you have a problem opening / reading the help file (you see the table of contents, but no text appears in the righthand pane), you may be experiencing a known Microsoft security issue. It is easily solved: right-click the PocketFMS.chm file, and select properties. There's an 'Unblock' button there, press it and press OK - problem solved. This can also occur if you have installed PocketFMS on a network drive. In that case you'll need to set the correct security / access rights - or copy the Help file to your local harddisk.

An updated set of UI Template files has been placed here. Thanks to Tobik, a better and easier method of validation is now available. You do not need to download a separate set of XSD template files anymore to assist you in editing the UI Template XML files. |

A more uniform version numbering has been introduced in the UI Template headers. |
XSD Schema files.
Changed: In order to assist you with AutoComplete and validation if you wish to edit PocketFMS' User Interface Template files, a set of XML Schema files (.XSD files) is placed on this website. The latest set of UI Template files will, when used in a specialist XML editor such as Microsoft XML Notepad 2007, automatically use the right XSD schema file from this website. You do not need separate XSD schema files anymore.
If you have already made alterations to one or more of the UI Template files, a simple modification around line 16 of the Template will allow you to use the latest validation available on these as well. You can then dismiss any .XSD you already used.
