Just an update on UFile.

There have been two updates and the previous update has made it 
impossible to update UFile from inside the programme. The fix for this 
is to download the full and most recent version as found in the 
UFile->Windows FAQ. This updates the package really well.

Also, another tip/warning, some/most of the screen do not draw properly; 
the simple fix: minimize and then maximize the window in UFile and this 
will force a re-draw with all of the lines appearing normally -- you 
should do this with every window so that you do not miss any of the 
entries.

Otherwise, everything else works as it should along with e-filing. We 
have thus far submitted 5 accounts through e-file.

Cheers,

Marc

using it for filing tax services in Canada. UFile (Dr. Tax) does not 
support UFile being run on linux.
