Failed to install in Vista "Deletefile failed; code 5"
On all versions of Windows, you must ensure LetSys (and the Configuration program) are not running before you upgrade to a new version. Here's the detail of this problem: One of our users reported that they were unable to upgrade the programme when running in Vista. The message was: C:\Program File...

Sample Booking Conditions - where are they?
Q: One user wrote "In the item on Data Protection you mention sample "Booking Conditions" delivered with the system - I can't find these, are they still included? " A Yes - they are, but well hidden.

Can I include the "Special Instruction" field in a letter?
One of our users invested in a numeric keypad lock for his cottages (I think one such brand is Masterlock ). He wanted to give each visitor their own number. The local representative needed to know this number in order to set up the lock. The number could be placed in the Special Instructions field ...

Can I request two cheques, one for the returnable deposit?
One user wanted to request two cheques when creating an automated letter acknowledging the deposit. One of these was for the returnable deposit. If there was no damage this could then be destroyed saving the work and cost involved in posting back a cheque. The other cheque would be for the balance o...

Vista problem: Registered version expired - can't register
One user had installed an early version (2.5) of the Holiday Letting System on Vista, and then tried to upgrade. He fell foul of virtualisation. Vista had put some of the programs into a virtual folder (this is a security measure) and some old modules were being executed instead of the new ones. The...

Can the system handle UK VAT?
Q: If I use this system, can I use it to help with my VAT returns? A: Yes - you can, although this is not specifically built in. However, the system will produce a list of lets (and totals) for each property in spreadsheet (.csv) format. Open the file in a spreadsheet, and then just enter the appro...

How do I handle New Year and Christmas dates?
Q: This year (2004) both Christmas Day and New Year Day fall on a Saturday. Hence I want to let the cottage from Wednesday to Wednesday. How can I handle this? A: You can handle this quite easily. The Holiday Letting System can handle lets from any day to any day - so just set up a let from (say) 2...

Re: UK Data Protection Act - how am I affected?
We've researched this, and yes, if you run a UK business and keep customer data on a computer, even if it is just a list of names and addresses, you do need to comply with the UK Data Protection Act. Our interpretation of the act is that there is not a problem for a Holiday Cottage owner using the “...

How do I see next year?
This was asked by a user a few years ago. Q: I have bookings coming in for next year already (it is currently March). But the dates in the bookings window only go to the end of this year. How can I see the following year? A: The Status Window normally displays two years: the current year and the fol...

Why are there 53 weeks in some years but not others?
Q: Looking at the Status Window, I notice there are 52 weeks in most years, but sometimes there are 53. Why? A: The Holiday Letting System works in whole numbers of weeks. A 365 day year contains 52 weeks and one extra day. A leap year adds a further day. Therefore every 5 or 6 years there will be ...
