In summary, if you are using a dial-up connection, you need to do an update every month. If you are using a wireless connection, the update is very fast.
I was putting an order in for myself last night and I got the message when I tried to transmit the show that I was using an old version of PP. I am using the fall/winter 2005 version. Anyone had this problem or know how to solve it?
In the Weekly Bites (I think last week, may have been week before), it specified that you must download the updates in order to submit future shows because there were many changes to Pampered Partner.
Because I'm on dial-up internet, I always go to Consultant's Corner and see what the most recent update is before doing it "just because" from Pampered Partner. You definitely need to do it once a month to keep most recent specials, etc.
Same thing happened to me, Jess. I had used the disk in the paperwork changeover kit to upgrade and then when I tried to submit my first September show, it wouldn't take it. I just clicked on "download update" and it started working fine. Weird, huh?
I do my updates through Pampered Partner. If you are using dial-up I find it easier to do the download late at night. Otherwise, the download timed out. Not anymore though the download on my wireless DSL is lightening fast anytime.
Yes, when you have Pampered Partner open, look at the very top "Shows...Contacts...Personal Info...." etc. and Update is in the middle. Click that, then click "Download Program Update" and it will take care of the rest. (If I'm remembering right, that is. You might need to click "OK" or something like that if prompted. )
