General Installation Information
Prior to May 2011 (Ver 3.x) the default EZ-DepositSlip installation folder was: C:\Program Files\EZ-DepositSlip. This folder contains about 20 files and two sub folders \backup and \sounds. Starting in May 2011 the default path was changed to C:\EZ-DepositSlip.
The executable file, often referred to as the engine or compile, is Deposit.exe. There are 3 databases for storing information in the application. The main database is DepositDB.mdb. This holds all of the information about your accounts, payers, and the deposit transactions. The parms.mdb holds data about the application such as paths, user defined info and date of install. Finally the file sec.mdb (optional) contains security information.
The backup folder can contain up to the last 10 copies of the main database (DepositDB.mdb) with each copy referencing the date of backup in the file name (i.e. DEPOSIT_BACKUP12212009.mdb). The backup feature automatically backs up your current data to C:\EZ-DepositSlip\backup when you exit the program. Instructions for reinstalling from the backup folder are below.
How to move or copy data from an old computer to a new computer
Did your old PC crash or you got a new PC? You can transfer your old data. Its not too complicated provided your old data is not corrupted and you are comfortable with Windows. If you still need help we offer paid support.
The overall idea is to install the most current demo version of EZ-Deposit Slip on your new PC verifying that there are no issues. Then locate and copy your old data base files from your old PC or hard drive to your new PC.
1. Install EZ-DepositSlip to the new PC using the latest EZ-DepositSlip demo. When prompted for your name and keycode enter it as provided from your jewel case or email notification. Make sure that there were no errors during the installation.
2. After confirming your new EZ-DepositSlip installation on the new PC opens without errors exit out of the application. Locate and rename depositdb.mdb on the new PC. For example C:\EZ-DepositSlip\DepositDB.mdb becomes C:\EZ-DepositSlip\DepositDB_Backup_todays_date.mdb. Do the same with parms.mdb and optional sec.mdb .
3. Locate and copy the files DepositDB.mdb, parms.mdb and sec.mdb from the old PC to the new PC.
The following path location assumes your old data is from version 3.x with an application path C:\EZ-DepositSlip. Prior to 3.x the application path was C:\Program Files\EZ-DepositSlip\
From old pc C:\EZ-DepositSlip\DepositDB.mdb to C:\EZ-DepositSlip\ on the new PC.
From old pc C:\EZ-DepositSlip\sec.mdb to C:\EZ-DepositSlip\ on the new PC. (Note: sec.mdb is optional and may not exist)
From old pc C:\EZ-DepositSlip\parms.mdb to C:\EZ-DepositSlip\ on the new PC
(If you didnt rename the files as described above you will be prompted with a warning that a file with the same name exists, do you wish to replace the old version with the new version. Select Yes for each file.)
4. Open the new PC installation normally and verify that your account and deposit information is intact. Maintenance-Deposits.
Restore from a Backup File from the Backup Folder C:\EZ-DepositSlip\backup
If you are trying to restore or repair a corrupted main database (DepositDB.mdb) you will need to copy and rename the most recent backup file in the C:\EZ-DepositSlip\backup folder to the application folder C:\EZ-DepositSlip. This is very similar to moving data from an old PC as described above except you will need to locate the date stamped backup file depositdb.mdb file and rename it.
The backup folder C:\EZ-DepositSlip\backup contains the last 10 copies of the main database(depositdb.mdb) renamed as DEPOSIT_BACKUP1132022191214.mdb. This is an example with the date 11/03/2022. More recent versions of EZ-DepositSlip also include parms.mdb and sec.mdb in C:\EZ-DepositSlip\backup.
When restoring from date stamped backup you should locate and rename depositdb.mdb on the new PC. For example C:\EZ-DepositSlip\DepositDB.mdb becomes C:\EZ-DepositSlip\DepositDB_Backup_todays_date.mdb. The other two files parms.mdb and (optional) sec.mdb do not get date stamped in the backup folder C:\EZ-DepositSlip\backup and can be copied directly. When prompted to write over current versions accept yes.

Could not find file DepositDB.mdb – Existing User
Some users receive this error message after a PC crash or other computer related interruptions. This file is your main data base and its missing. Before you panic and contact tech support there is an auto backup system that saves the last 10 sessions. The following steps should restore your data.
1. If you get the “could not find file depositDB.mdb” you will need to click OK about 18 times to clear this error message. Eventually you will see the main screen. Exit the software.
2. Verify that you are in fact missing just this file (and not all the entire folder and contents). Navigate to C:\EZ-DepositSlip and look for DepositDB.mdb. You should see at least 10 files and two folders \Backup and \Sound. If you dont see any files or if DepositDB.mdb is there, stop and contact tech support by email with a detailed description.
3. Go to C:\EZ-DepositSlip\Backup. You should see about 10 files that named similar to DEPOSIT_BACKUP10172013.mdb. These are actually the main DepositDB.mdb databases that are backed up with a rename & date. DEPOSIT_BACKUP + DATE+ .mdb
4. Copy the most recent backup file by date C:\EZ-DepositSlip\Backup\ DEPOSIT_BACKUP10172013.mdb to the application folder C:\EZ-DepositSlip.
5. Rename DEPOSIT_BACKUP10172013.mdb to DepositDB.mdb (see note below on file extensions if you cant see .mdb). Open your software as you normally would and verify that your data is in there.
A note on files names and file extensions (suffixes). By default newer versions of Windows will not display file extensions for common files types unless you change the view settings in Windows Explorer. If you dont see extensions (.mdb) dont worry. Just make sure NOT to rename your back up file with the .mdb otherwise you will have a file named DepositDB.mdb.mdb
If this depositdeb.mdb disappears again please contact us by email.

Error 5000 CP Internal 10 or 100 – Cant Process Report
Some users report this message and cant print reports. The error appears suddenly after months or years of use for no apparent reason. Its not a bug with EZ-DepositSlip but rather a conflict with your antivirus software. Starting with version 3.2 we are providing an alternative report using Microsoft’s Dot Net Framework.
Solution:
1. Exit out of EZ-DepositSlip
2. Download the most current Deposit.exe compile to the application folder C:\EZ-DepositSlip. (see above for instructions)
3. Download and install EZ-Deposit Dot Net Report Patch (EZDepositActiveRpts.exe) to the application folder C:\EZ-DepositSlip. Run EZDepositActiveRpts.exe. This will install Dot Net 3.5 and the alternative report writer.
4. Open EZ-Deposit from your desktop and go to Preferences- Use Alternative Reporting – select On. (Very important). Unfortunately the new report writer will load the default Windows printer rather than the printer you selected in EZ-DepositSlip. You can change the printer in the print preview screen.
