This software manages the literature orders & inventory for your congregation. It has a straightforward interface and plenty of functionality to simplify your duties as a Literature Coordinator, Servant, or Assistant. It is designed for use directly at the Kingdom Hall, capable of handling multiple congregations, or it can be used at home. This software is FREE, but donations are appreciated.computerwiz12890http://www.blogger.com/profile/05419226843374565891noreply@blogger.comBlogger183125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072368048844737483.post-50855749808337959162023-12-15T15:44:00.002-06:002023-12-15T15:44:52.715-06:00Goodbye<p>Hey all!</p><p>Been another year and a half since my last update. Believe it or not, I <b><i>do</i></b> think about my project from time to time. But rather than joy, I feel <b><i>anxiety </i></b>from it, because I have a list of to-dos that I just don't have the time to tackle.</p><p>New features and changes are hard to even <b><i>think</i></b> about implementing, because I don't even know if my translators are still around. Unfortunately, <i style="font-weight: bold;">that</i> much time has passed. And with regards to a 64-bit version...I don't have the time to run <b><i>extensive</i></b> tests to ensure I don't break anything. So...as they say, if it isn't broke, don't fix it!</p><p>To be honest, in the "new" congregation I'm in, I didn't even bother trying to get them to use my program. Literature is so much simpler these days, I saw no need to. And I know right now there is an active alternative to LRO. Perhaps not as detailed and sophisticated, but good enough:</p><p><a href="https://nwscheduler.com/how-to/congregation/literature/">https://nwscheduler.com/how-to/congregation/literature/</a></p><p>You can continue to use LRO if you know what you're doing. But there will not be any more updates or support fixes. If it isn't working for you...try out NWS for literature. As far as exporting your data to NWS...you would have to ask them if they'd work on an import feature. LRO can already export order data into Excel. They would just have to build something to read it and import it into NWS. Unfortunately, I don't think I built anything to export inventory data...</p><p>So....that's it! I may even shut down this site after a few months. It is my hope that everyone who used LRO enjoyed it and it saved you much time and headache. But now, I am wrapping up this loose end so it is one less "to-do" that will never get done. Time to simplify...</p><p>Goodbye & take care! 👋😎</p>computerwiz12890http://www.blogger.com/profile/05419226843374565891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072368048844737483.post-54305330584095973022022-06-07T13:44:00.004-05:002022-06-07T13:45:07.762-05:00S28 update & latest literature<p>Howdy all!</p><p>Wow what a crazy past 2 1/2 years! We're still alive and kicking over here.</p><p>Again, apologies for not proving an update in all this time. But with things shut down, it seemed like the literature room was stagnant & not very important. Well now that things are kicking up again, I might just have enough motivation to turn my attention back to LRO and see what improvements I can make.</p><p>I have used today to get the mock S-28 form updated to the latest. And also added the Enjoy Life book & brochure items.</p><p>I may actually have some free time to work on 2.0.3 of LRO.

<br />
I apologize for being almost a month late for an update. Suffice it to say, the days leading up to my wife's surgery and the surgery itself took more out of me than I expected. There even was a minor complication that caused us to stay 4 more days in Houston than we intended, but I am happy to say that <i style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: blue;">everything is going well so far</span></i>.<br />
<br />
My wife's surgery was a success, and she was quickly feeling better than before surgery. She still has to take things easy for another 3 weeks...which of course means I've got more on my plate than usual as I have to help her around the house. But we are very happy with the results we're seeing already, despite the 20% chance her condition could return. So, we still appreciate prayers that she continues to recover and things go in our favor.<br />
<br />
She has a separate, unfortunately unrelated, condition that we are still working on by changing her diet and severely restricting it. We were hoping these 2 conditions were connected, so they'd both be fixed at the same time. But it looks like we still have a little work to do. Once again, still happy with the results we're already experiencing. :-)<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now for LRO...</span><br />
<br />
As far as updating LRO goes, regarding getting updates automatically, that isn't going to happen anytime soon. I could <i style="font-weight: bold;">NOT </i>fix my old computer, and so I had to buy a new one. I am considering subscribing to Microsoft Office so I can work on LRO again, but at this time, I don't have time anyways to work on it. Not to mention, I <i>really </i>don't want to spend even more money at this time...<br />
<br />
So...here's what I did for our own congregation. I was able to adjust our S-28 form to meet the current updated form. Now...I didn't have time to be meticulous and update it to my satisfaction (in other words...perfect), but it was updated close enough. The only <i style="font-weight: bold;">possible </i>(and I stress <i>possible</i>) issue with the update would be with "other year" Bound volumes, Yearbooks, stuff like that, being counted in the wrong place. Every other book, brochure, tract, should be fine.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's how you can get the update</span><br />
<br />
Download the 3 files from the following link (after going to the link, RIGHT-click and click "Download" for each file):<br />
<br />
<a href="https://app.box.com/s/535h1quupggkyzfnf9h2xxl84cgvjx0j">https://app.box.com/s/535h1quupggkyzfnf9h2xxl84cgvjx0j</a><br />
<br />
Please <i style="font-weight: bold;">DO NOT change anything in the files. </i>If you change anything in the files, I cannot guarantee the update will work right. Please download all 3 files <i style="font-weight: bold;">to the location where LRO is <u>installed</u></i> on your computer.<br />
<br />
NOTE: The actual LRO file is not on your desktop, that's just a shortcut. You can right-click on the shortcut, and then click on "Properties"<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Drop all 3 of the files you downloaded into the LRO folder. Just like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Once the files are there, you can open LRO and navigate to the Inventory Management screen. From there, click on "Build Mock S-28 Form".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuyUEWBiJCeIScJC9hIjTaf1G_iiNpWbMIOkdQnlKYzN6dKTPycPJf6Rx1XiDxsSinm_KwCMCPc1D8zRKST8P19cVjt6Jd71l7LxpIGUY3C0U8EJy5-9dnenjxVxQlN1ilEL7tlMDldRdV/s1600/004.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="283" data-original-width="1273" height="71" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuyUEWBiJCeIScJC9hIjTaf1G_iiNpWbMIOkdQnlKYzN6dKTPycPJf6Rx1XiDxsSinm_KwCMCPc1D8zRKST8P19cVjt6Jd71l7LxpIGUY3C0U8EJy5-9dnenjxVxQlN1ilEL7tlMDldRdV/s320/004.png" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
After answering the prompts, your S-28 form should now be updated.<br />
<br />
<br />
If there are any issues or questions, please let me know.<br />
<br />
<br />computerwiz12890http://www.blogger.com/profile/05419226843374565891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072368048844737483.post-11075728825283068612018-04-04T14:07:00.000-05:002018-04-04T14:07:33.772-05:00To all my Dear users...I know things have been pretty quiet around here, and updates are almost non-existent. And now, there's a new S-28 form available (on JW.org). And rightly so, people are wondering...<b>will LRO get the update?</b><br />
<br />
The short answer? Probably...but it may will involve a little work on your part.<br />
<br />
So now you might be wondering what's been going on with me? Why would there be trouble with the update? Well, here's the long answer:<br />
<br />
Unfortunately...all updates for LRO are currently broken. Since I offer LRO to everyone for FREE, I choose to use only FREE methods of hosting my update files. This severely limits my options. As you might suspect, the FREE methods don't tend to stick around...so I chose <i style="font-weight: bold;">3 </i>different sites to use for LRO's updates. ALL 3 ARE BROKEN!<br />
<br />
So...that means I need to publish a new version of LRO, which I haven't done in over 2 years, and the computer that I used to build it on is broken. So that will make me take a bit more time than I would normally have needed. Now...I have to:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Get another computer set up with my programming environment</li>
<li>Get VirtualBox set up with multiple versions of Windows/Office for testing purposes.</li>
<li>Get alternate update sites set up.</li>
<li>Remember how to compile everything for deploying.</li>
</ol>
<br />
As if that were not enough, my wife will be having a <b><i>major </i></b>surgery in 2 weeks! We will be spending a week in Texas as "vacation", but we may end up just staying at the hotel the whole time...depends on how much pain she's in. If that happens, I <b><u><i>may</i></u></b> use that time to try to fix up LRO's update system. But I <b>cannot </b>promise anything about that...I probably won't have the best mindset to be doing coding...<br />
<br />
Now with that being said, my wife's health has been a roller coaster ride for the past 5 years. But for the past year or so, it's been more on the downside than up. Which means in addition to my full-time job and being an Elder, I also have to do more housework, since my wife is in pain half of the time and unable to do things around the house. So I hope that explains why my circumstances for the past year have made it very difficult to even <b><i>look</i></b> at my own program. :-(<br />
<br />
Thankfully, I have 2 fail-safes in place in the event that I would be unable to update my LRO program:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>If I don't have enough time to fix LRO up the right way, I can at least provide an Excel spreadsheet that everyone else can import into LRO. <span style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;">This will take some work and understanding on your part. </span>But it will be MUCH quicker than trying to fix LRO's update system.</li>
<li>I provided a way for LRO's users to update the S-28 manually. Hopefully it won't come to this, but you can certainly update the S-28 form in LRO yourself. <span style="color: blue;"><b>Message me if you need help with finding this tool.</b></span></li>
</ol>
<br />
I certainly do not want to leave anyone hanging, but my current circumstances do not allow me to do much other than what I <i style="font-weight: bold;">need</i> to do on a daily basis. I will provide <b><i>some kind of direction</i></b> for everyone by <b><i><span style="color: blue;">April 18th</span></i></b>. The 19th is my wife's surgery. Please keep us (Jeremy & Skye Zoulin) in your prayers. It will be much appreciated!<br />
<br />
<br />
Warm Christian greetings,<br />

<br />
The annual items for all languages are now available for download.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">NOTE: The update notification in LRO is broken. You can still get the Literature update by going to the Literature Items List screen (found on the Main Menu) and manually clicking “Download Literature Updates”.</span></b><br />
<br />
I have <i style="font-weight: bold;">assumed</i> that the JW Calendar is no longer available for all languages, since that is true for English. If I am incorrect for one of the 6 languages in LRO, let me know.<br />

No worries...I do have some to-dos to work on. But things with LRO are good, and it's a low priority. If you are having any issues or concerns with LRO, let me know. Because right now, I don't have a sense of urgency for the next release. I've been giving a good bit of my weekend time to Bible studies & return visits. That doesn't mean I can't make time for LRO, but I've been using the free time I do have to relax and unwind. ;-)</span></span></div>

<br />
The following literature items have been added for <b><span style="color: blue;">English</span></b>:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>2555 - Watchtower Library--2015 Edition (DVD)</li>
<li>5425 - Jesus--The Way, the Truth, the Life</li>
<li>6671 - Return to Jehovah</li>
<li>9298 - What Is True Love?--On DVD</li>
<li>4125 - Jesus--The Way, the Truth, the Life--On Compact Disc</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Brothers, please note that the Watchtower Library DVD is a completely different number than usual. Under normal circumstances, it would be 2515. In fact, you will see there is already an item #2515 in LRO.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So...what to do? Just delete #2515. But please note if you <b>haven't </b>submitted your Annual Items using the special annual items tool, you will have to adjust the configuration to use the new 2555 number (if you plan on using the annual items tool). If you <b>already </b>placed the order for Watchtower Library CDs...you can either go and adjust all the orders to 2555, or just make a mental note to use the new number. Please email me if there is any questions!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, upcoming offers through to <b>February </b>are now available.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally, other language literature updates will be released when I get the translations.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope all are doing well! :-)</div>

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="color: #333333;">Added: Tablet mode setting! LRO should now be easier to use on tablets. Activate this feature by clicking on the button that looks like a tablet on the very first screen (login screen). </span><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Keep in mind that LRO is only supported on <u>Windows</u> tablets.</span></b></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Added: Message box with friendly reminder when Request Month does not match the actual month that we are in (unless it is the NEXT month). Displayed on Order Form screen on load.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Added: On Inventory Management screen, highlight negative movement numbers in orange.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Added: Warning for when the S-28 form has not been updated in over a year, and therefore may be inaccurate.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Removed: On Inventory Suggestions, do not do the duplicate orders check. Due to the nature of these orders, this feature was more annoying than useful.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Fixed: some translations in French.</span></li>

<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Bug Fix: Ribbon is hidden better on newer versions of Access (2010 & 2013).</span></li>

Probably the most significant piece is the tablet mode setting. Considering I don't have 20 different tablets to test with, I will rely heavily on feedback from you guys. If you consider using LRO on a tablet, please give me feedback on how it looks and if it works good for you.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><br /></span></span></div>

And also, set the keyboard to where the keyboard shrinks the screen, rather than just hovering over the window. I believe it is one of the buttons in the upper-right corner. This will enable the tablet mode feature to work better. ;-)</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
For the literature display cart items, they will appear under the "Miscellaneous" item type.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I apologize for the delay in making some of the items available. Between my secular job, vacation, congregation responsibilities (including elders' meetings), meeting parts, public talk, Bible studies, medical stuffs, upgrading LRO to Access 2013, bug squashing, etc, etc etc...I've let it slip. With this main upgrade & more importantly, the bug fix out of the way, things should be back to normal and I should be able to keep up with things.<br />
<br />
In any case, please feel free to contact me if I miss (or am late with making available) a new literature item for your language.</div>

<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">LRO has been upgraded to Access 2013! Due to this fact, I've moved ahead to verison 2.0.0</span></b></li>
<li>Added: On Inventory Management, check if there are any "Received" quantities other than 0 before opening the inventory suggestions. Message shown if only 0 quantities are found, since user may have forgotten to mark down received, and suggestions will be affected.</li>
<li>Added: Filled out Annual Items report, via the Annual Items order screen. ONLY available if you are in the process of filling out the annual item orders.</li>
<li>Fixed: Literature Items List may have lost its default sort order for some users.</li>

<li>Updated: Check for updates now checks THREE different mirrors to ensure user will receive updates from somewhere.</li>
<li>Updated: User Guide for English.</li>
<li>Removed: Support for importing old TLA (The Literature Assistant) data.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Howdy all! Exciting stuff here!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is a BIG update here. So big, I think it is time to call it 2.0.0. LRO is has been upgraded to work on Access 2013 as the main version. However, it should still work for those who are on Access 2007, but you have to AT LEAST have that. XP users should be able to function on 2007 just fine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please, if you don't have it already, and are capable of doing so, upgrade to <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39358" target="_blank">Access 2013</a>. Remember, it must be the <b>x86</b> version. If anyone has any difficulty with this, please contact me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also note that the User Guide has been updated (for <b><span style="color: blue;">English</span></b> users only). Even if you have been using LRO for a while, it may be beneficial for you to look at the guide and see what I added regarding the Inventory Management system & the Annual Items.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last but not least, please...since this is a major upgrade...make a BACKUP before upgrading, and let me know ASAP if you have any issues, so I can fix them quickly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Warm Christian greetings to all! :-)</div>

<br />
Just a friendly reminder...if it's about time for you to place the latest literature order, remember you will need to check your Kingdom Ministry to see what the upcoming offers are, and manually order them as you see fit.<br />
<br />
I'm working hard to enhance the update system to prevent this from happening again, as well as get LRO upgraded to Access 2007 and above (though primarily tested for 2013). Should have the update in the next couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned! :-)computerwiz12890http://www.blogger.com/profile/05419226843374565891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072368048844737483.post-39179650443770712302015-06-09T22:10:00.000-05:002015-06-09T22:14:17.350-05:00Annual Items are now available for download!Howdy all!<br />
<br />
The annual items are now available for <b><span style="color: blue;">ALL</span></b> languages.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">REMINDER: Support for Microsoft Access versions prior to 2007 will be ending with the next LRO update. You must have <u>at least</u> Microsoft Access 2007 or greater to use the next version of LRO. Windows XP users can use 2007. However, users with newer versions of Windows are encouraged to upgrade to 2013 <i><u>AFTER</u> </i>you get the LRO update. The current version of LRO seems to be buggy with 2013 Access...so please wait until then before upgrading. I hope I didn't confuse anyone....email me if so.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
And trust me...you do want to upgrade to the next version....I broke the Upcoming Offers update system. So you have to manually check your Kingdom Ministry and plan accordingly until then. :-/<br />
<br />
There are some other new items for various languages that I'm working on making available. Will have them in the next few days.<br />
<br />
Also, got a much more detailed User Guide on the way! Stay tuned for more details!!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>computerwiz12890http://www.blogger.com/profile/05419226843374565891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072368048844737483.post-28665671755559614532015-04-27T14:42:00.000-05:002015-04-27T15:37:48.681-05:00News of importance...Howdy all!<br />
<br />
Working on the next update to LRO here. Got some rather important news...<br />
<br />
The next version of LRO will be <b><span style="color: red;">dropping support</span></b> for all versions of Access before 2007. With the release of 1.4.8, LRO will <b><span style="color: red;">only </span></b>support <b>Access 2007 and beyond</b>. Though I will be developing it natively in 2013, so if you are able to use 2013, I highly recommend upgrading to 2013.<br />
<br />
There is a free run-time version of Access 2013 available for those that don't meet the new requirements. You can <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39358" target="_blank">download it from here</a>. (choose the one with x86)<br />
<br />
For those with Windows XP still, you will need Access 2007, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4438" target="_blank">you can get it from here</a>.<br />
<br />
NOTE: Please <b><span style="color: red;">REMOVE </span></b>the previous version of Access before installing a new one. Having 2 versions of Access can lead to chaos...<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, I've accidentally broken the download link for the latest Offers of the month. Unfortunately, the backup host is not being reached either. I will have to fix this up for 1.4.8, and try to enhance my update system even further.<br />
<br />
<br />
Last but not least, support for TLA (The Literature Assistant) users will be dropped. The TLA import feature has been in LRO for nearly 4 years now. I think sufficient time has been allowed for TLA users to hop on over. If someone happens to still need or be using this feature, please let me know.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now that LRO is at the point of maturity, where it pretty much has everything it needs, it's time to re-visit the User Guide and enhance it. I plan on adding a lot more details about how to do your common literature room tasks, such as preparing your order to place on jw.org, doing the monthly inventory, and the special annual items.<br />
<br />
Before I add all these new items to the guide, I want to make sure that my style of writing is understandable to everyone. As far as I can remember, I have had NO feedback on my User Guide. So...I'm conducting a poll to see just what y'all think. :-)<br />
<br />
Please look to the right, and you will find the poll under the 3rd box entitled "Is the Quick-start guide for LRO easy to understand?" <em style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">This poll is now closed.</em><br />
<br />
Only vote once, and please be COMPLETELY HONEST with your answers. I can take criticism. ;-)computerwiz12890http://www.blogger.com/profile/05419226843374565891noreply@blogger.com0
