What's new in Horse Show Assistant 5

- Changed Exhibitor Number to Entry Number.
        The terms 'Exhibitor' and 'Entry' are more clearly defined.  The Entry number follows the horse and this change is intended to disambiguate the difference.

- Added pre-register function.
        Riders can be entered into a show without an Entry number or selecting classes.  Grounds fees and All Day Fees can also be entered and paid for.  Rider receives a pre-registration number which can be used at the show to assign an Entry number and select classes.

- Added class sponsorship to several reports.
        A class sponsor area was added to the Classes table.  It can be toggled On or Off on several of the reports including Score Sheet.  The Class List report serves as a Sponsor list indicating which class they sponsored.
Reports include End of Show, Class List, Horse Entry, Horse Owner, Show Callout, Score Sheet.

- Restore an 'Ended' Class
        Option to restore an Ended class for editing.

- Championship Classes 
        Set up qualifying classes for Championship classes.  Winners can be automatically entered.

- Two tier Membership.
        Membership can be entered as Family or Single at different rates.

- Updated Membership dialog.
        A date entry field was added to the Membership screen for date that fee was paid.
Right click on Paid Date textbox for 'Today's' date.
Right click on Balance Due textbox to enter amount to deduct from balance. 
Clear Paid Date option on Reset Membership screen 

- Changed 'Member Discount' to 'Fee Adjustment'.
        This was actually added as a mini update to v4.6.  The Fee Adjustment can be used as a discount or surcharge.  You can choose a dollar amount or a percentage.

- Single Checkout receipt reworked.
        Receipt was reconfigured to make it more condensed.

- Added Owner checkout.
        An Owner Checkout function was added so an owner can have one checkout and receipt for all horses at the show including all Grounds fees and All Day Fees.

- Added Skip Print Preview to Checkout.
        This skips the preview window and sends receipt to the printer.

- Added Multiple checkout.
        To checkout a series of riders, right click on the Checkout icon to open a selection dialog window.  Drag and drop Entry numbers into a listbox to check them out and jump to the receipt preview.  Selecting "skip print preview" will sequentially send selected receipts to the printer.

- Report dialog remains open.
        The Report dialog will remain open until Done is selected.  This saves from reopening the Print dialog when several reports are needed.

- Added function to toggle fees paid.
        On the Check Out dialog individual fee rows can be toggled as paid or unpaid by right clicking on         the row.

- Added All Day Fees Report.
        A new report summarizing All Day Fees.

- Added 'All Exhibitor' option to Horse Entry report.
        When printing a Horse Entry report, a checkbox was added to select all riders for that horse or individual riders.

- Added text input for Stall/Location when adding Entries.
        This data input is for convenience and record keeping and appears on the receipts.

- Textbox entry fields turn red if length is too long.
        Most textbox entry fields with length limitations will display red text if the limit is exceeded.

- Reduced size of reports.
        Many title pages and section header sizes were reduced. 

- Adjust report bottom margin.
        A line was added to the .ini file so users can set the bottom margin.  Some printers cause reports to roll off the bottom of the page.  Use Notepad to edit this setting.

- Dialog windows remain open.
        The dialog windows for Payout, MOS, Score sheet, and Custom Division Points remain open until Done is selected.  This saves selecting Reports tool button when multiple reports are needed.

- Main screen shows Ended classes.
        The listboxes on the main screen indicate which classes have Ended by showing
class number in red.
