Upgrade Virtual Office Virtual Office users - your upgrade is here! We appreciate your patience
while Virtual Office was reprogrammed to accommodate changes in the
Rapattoni database! Download instructions for current Virtual Office users
follow. Remember, this is an upgrade for current users. You must have
version 6.4 installed on your computer and have used Virtual Office with the
Rapattoni MLS before using this upgrade. If you chose not to use the last upgrade to the 32-bit version, this
upgrade will install the 32-bit version and a new user interface - the
screens have a different look. The 16-bit version will not function
correctly. Placement of icons and especially the location of some functions
have moved to other screen locations. Virtual Office still does all the
things you're used to, the start locations are different. Please read through the Upgrade Instructions carefully before beginning. The
sequence of the instructions are critical to a successful installation.
