Some problems you may encounter during or after installation are as follows:

1. During installation you may encounter a message(s) such as "An access violation occurred while copying the file" or "The destination file is in use. Please ensure that all other applications are closed" . These messages indicate that the file that is currently being copied to your system is already installed on your system and is in use. You should ensure all other programs are closed prior to running the Breeze installation program. If you still receive the message after closing all other programs you should ignore and bypass any messages like this as the file is already installed.
2. Immediately after installation, you may encounter an error message when starting a new data file that refers to error #3633 or when opening an existing file you get a message that the file cannot be opened and may be corrupt. You possibly did not install Microsoft Data Access 2.1. You should run the MDAC_TYP.exe program.

This problem can occur when you get mixed date formats in the Posting log. For example some entries are in the format mm/dd/yyyy while others are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. This could occur if your regional date settings are normally formatted to dd/mm/yyyy but you forget to change the date format settings to mm/dd/yyyy for a Breeze session as recommended. If you then make the recommended date format changes for the next Breeze session you may end up with mixed date formats. To correct the dd/mm/yyyy format, start a Breeze session with the recommended mm/dd/yyyy format. Then edit and save an account or journal entry for the ledger without making any changes.

If you encounter this error when doing a file operation, check that you do not have the data file already open in another program such as Access.

Payroll reports are set up to print on legal size paper. If your payroll reports appear to be cut off without all the columns displayed, the report is likely being printed in letter size. This is a printer driver problem. To correct the problem you need to install the proper manufacturer's driver for the printer.

If you receive an Out of Memory message when starting up the program in Windows XP,  check the Compatibility Mode in the program properties dialogue.  Remove any compatibility mode that may be set by unchecking the option.

The Windows XP operating system sometimes changes file date stamps such as when the rollover of daylight savings times occurs. This will trigger this problem.

The only solution to this problem is to uninstall and re-install the program to get the original report definition "rpt" files.

When using Breeze uncheck the "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" option in the Taskbar and Start Menu options in the control panel.

Menu access keys are the character in the menu name with an underline that can be used to make a menu selection. This method is not available for making a menu selection in Windows XP.

The Breeze data file is fully functional within Access 2000 or Access XP. However, it is strongly recommended that you do not alter the database structure or do not edit data in Access as discussed in the Help topic: File Access. You can add custom reports to the file. However, remember to Post in Breeze before you run your custom Access report. The safest approach to making custom reports is to create a new blank database file in Access and link to the table(s) in the Breeze database file you want to use for the report. Develop the report in the new database using the linked table(s). After the report has been developed make the database file you created Read Only. It is recommended that you do not convert the Breeze data file in Access. Instead use the Compact and Repair / Convert utility in Breeze to convert a Breeze Version 1A file to Version 1B file.
