It is advisable to review the Version Notes to ensure compliance when reporting for each state as updates can be posted throughout the course of the year. Enterprise edition expires once a year based on when the registration code was purchased. * It will expire either June 15th -OR- December 15th. If purchased: * Before 6/1, registration code will expire on 12/15 of this year. * Between 6/1 and 11/30, the registration code expires 6/15 of next year. * Between 12/1 and 12/31 of this year, the registration code expires 12/15 next year. MY HRS PRO SAYS IT WILL EXPIRE SOON. WILL I LOSE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE ENTERED, BUT HAVE NOT YET SENT TO THE STATE? If you let the registration code expire, the system will become locked until you renew the enterprise edition. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO RENEW THE ENTERPRISE EDITION TO AVOID EXPIRATION? With our new online purchasing system, you can renew by invoice 30 days prior to expiration by logging into your account and clicking on the Renew button next to the Registration Code under the License Information tab. However, if paying by credit card, you will not be able to renew until June/Dec 1st to ensure the expiration date is set correctly. If you are renewing by check, you can print an invoice 30 days prior to expiration. When selecting to pay by check, this will become your invoice; you should print this out for your records. Make your check payable and send your check to: Avenu SLS Holdings, LLC 100 Hancock Street, 10th Floor Quincy, MA 02171 For all other methods of payment, please email hrsprosupport@unclaimedproperty.com. WHAT IF I DO NOT RENEW THE ENTERPRISE EDITION BEFORE IT EXPIRES? The system will become locked until you renew the enterprise edition and receive a new registration code. Once the enterprise edition is renewed, enter the registration code (help>registration info) and reconfigure the network path under Utilities > Configuration and Defaults. WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE SOFTWARE QUESTIONS ABOUT HRS PRO? After reviewing all of the FAQs, User Guide, and Help within HRS Pro, click on the Request Support button under the Desktop FAQs tab. DISCLAIMER HRS Pro has been tested extensively but is supplied as is, without warranty of any kind. Under no circumstances can Avenu Unclaimed Property Systems LLC or the states to which you report, be held accountable for any loss of data or other damage which may occur as a result of using the Holder Reporting System. You should be aware that HRS Pro is designed to be an aid to creating electronic unclaimed property reports: use of HRS Pro does not guarantee a fully compliant report. You are responsible for reading the 'Instructions to Reporters' that is supplied by the states to which you report. HRS Pro does include submission requirements for all states but it is recommended to check with the state for latest requirements and preferred delivery method before submitting unclaimed property reports to them. ARE THERE RESELLERS THAT I CAN CONTACT TO PURCHASE THE DESKTOP ENTERPRISE EDITION? We do not have resellers of HRS Pro. All companies using HRS Pro should purchase this product directly through us and not through a reseller. CAN THE DESKTOP ENTERPRISE EDITION BE PURCHASED/RENEWED FOR MULTIPLE YEARS? No. We only offer the subscription on a yearly basis. HOW OFTEN IS THERE A NEW BUILD AVAILABLE? HRS Pro is updated throughout the year. It's advised to review the Version Notes FAQ to see if you are on the latest build and to determine if there are any state requirement changes made. To download the latest build, log into your account by clicking on Log In top right corner of screen. Once logged in, click on the License Information tab, there you will see a DOWNLOAD DESKTOP ENTERPRISE button. INSTALLATION WHAT VERSIONS OF WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS ARE SUPPORTED? * XP * Vista * Windows 7 * Windows 8 * Windows 10 * Windows 11 CAN HRS PRO BE INSTALLED ON A NETWORK WHERE MULTIPLE PEOPLE CAN ACCESS IT AS THE SAME TIME? HRS Pro is a local installation on each workstation. The data may reside on a network location where multiple people can access it after purchasing and applying the registration code in HRS Pro. Once registration code has been entered, within HRS Pro > Utilities > Configuration & Defaults is where you can point the data to a network location. HRS Pro has been known to be installed on a server (this is non-typical, not a supported environment, could be slower, sharing of memory space, and multi-user may have issues). WHY DO YOU NEED TO BE AN ADMINISTRATOR TO INSTALL HRS PRO? The software and NAUPA encryption .dll files need to be written to the windows registry. If you do not have the proper rights to modify the registry entries, you will not be able to encrypt your unclaimed property reports for those states that require the encryption. I NEED TO INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION, WILL IT ERASE MY DATA? HRS Pro is a full installation and will not delete your data. It is suggested to have a good backup prior to downloading and installing the latest build. After installing the latest version, if your HRS Pro asks you to create a new user & holder, see the FAQ in the Installation section: After installation, my data has disappeared? I AM NOT ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE USING INTERNET EXPLORER, WHY? In Internet Explorer.. * Choose Tools from the Top Menu * Select Internet Options / Security tab * Notice the Internet Zone, select on top Click CUSTOM LEVEL button in the Security Settings window. * Scroll down to DOWNLOADS section, select Enable AUTOMATIC PROMPTING FOR FILE DOWNLOADS. This will now visually show the FILE DOWNLOAD questions. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE INSTALLING HRS PRO? If you are already using HRS Pro, you may want to back up your data prior to installing the latest version. If HRS Pro isn't configured to point to a network location where the data resides, then most likely it resides locally and isn't being backed up on a regular basis. To create a backup of your data, first make sure the HRS Pro application is closed. 1. Right click on your start icon and select 'Windows Explorer'. 2. In the directory path type: %localappdata%. 3. Expand the HRS Pro folder. You should see a folder now called DATA. Copy this folder and paste it in another location for safekeeping. If you do not see the DATA folder follow this FAQ titled 'What versions of Windows Operating Systems are supported?' for DATA locations. INSTALLATION INTERRUPTED There can be a number of reasons why this happens: * If this message is displayed during the download: try a different web browser and repeat the download process. * If the download worked, but getting this after clicking on RUN: try saving the file first and then running it (right-click: Run as Administrator – sometimes this is necessary even if you are the administrator to the machine). * Be sure you are installing to the same location as previously installed, that you are a Local Administrator, and no firewall or anti-virus is blocking the installation. If you cannot get it to install, you may need to get your IT involved. WHEN LOGGING INTO HRS PRO, ALIAS OR MAIN NAVIGATOR ERROR RECEIVED This error is typically due to insufficient rights when installing HRS Pro. Be sure that you have full local Admin rights to install to the Windows Registry. If you are installing HRS Pro on a server you will likely receive this error. HRS Pro is a local installation and installing on a server is not a supported environment. HRS Pro can be configured to point to a DATA directory on the server, but the installation should remain as a local installation. Also, make sure the user has proper rights set at C:\Program Files(x86 if 64-bit OS)\Wagers and Associates folder & %localappdata%\HRS Pro folder. Right click the folder, select Properties, then select the Security tab. This user should have both Read/Write options selected. AFTER INSTALLATION, MY DATA HAS DISAPPEARED? The system does not delete your data. This could be happening due to where the DATA file resides. Prior to Windows Vista, the data resided with the installation location and if the system was upgraded to Vista or higher the new location is the local users data folder. Follow the instructions below as they are written to resolve this issue. 1. Check to see if there is a DATA folder under C:\program files(x86 if 64-bit OS)\wagers and associates\hrs pro. 2. If the folder exist, right click and select cut. Then on your desktop, right click and select paste. 3. In Windows Explorer (right click on the start icon, select Windows Explorer) type this in the address line: %localappdata% look in the HRSPRO folder, do you also see a data folder? 4. If there is a DATA folder, rename this to TestData. 5. The Data folder that was pasted on your desktop, move that to the %localappdata%\HRSPRO folder. 6. Launch HRS Pro and see if your data is there now. 7. If the data is correct, delete the TestData folder under the %localappdata%\HRSPRO folder. Data resides on a network location: Be sure that the Registration Code is entered and the network path is specified under Utilities > Configuration and Defaults menu. OLE ERROR CODE. CLASS NOT REGISTERED. OLE OBJECT IS BEING IGNORED RECORD NUMBER #. The cause of this could be a few things: location installation may have been in a different location than the recent installation or certain files did not register properly due to not installing as an administrator. First, reinstall as an administrator that has the proper permissions to write to the windows registry. If reinstalling doesn't work, manually register these files with the Start, Run entry box. This is assuming that c:\program files\wagers and associates\HRS Pro is where the program is installed at. First, (before trying the registry entries) check the subdirectory listed is correct. Secondly, check that a text file can be created and saved in the HRS Pro directory. If not, there are rights that need to be set from the "wagers and associates" subdirectory on down. 1. regsvr32.exe C:\Program Files\Wagers And Associates\HRS Pro\ctToolBar.ocx /s 2. regsvr32.exe C:\Program Files\Wagers And Associates\HRS Pro\ctNavBar.ocx /s 3. regsvr32.exe C:\Program Files\Wagers And Associates\HRS Pro\ctListBar.ocx /s ERROR: UNABLE TO OPEN 2ND TABLE OF OWNERS This error means something has happened to the data and you will need to rebuild the database. 1. Install HRS Pro as an Administrator that has the proper rights to write to the windows registry. 2. Launch HRS Pro. If still receiving error go to step 3, do not skip this step as if something should happen during step 4 your data can be lost. 3. Create a backup copy of the existing DATA and LOCAL folders. Try locating the data folder using windows explorer. Look first in C:\Program Files(x86 is 64-bit OS)\Wagers And Associates\HRS Pro\DATA. If that folder is empty or does not exist, look in %localappdata%\hrspro\data (you can type this in the address line in windows explorer). Once you locate the data folder, make sure the files in the data folder are not read-only and Write/Read are checked under security for that folder (right click on folder, select properties, and then select the security tab). If you using the Enterprise edition your data may reside on a network drive. 4. Then from your computer's Start menu select All Programs > HRS Pro > then click on hrs_rebuild. Follow the directions when completed. 5. Try launching HRS Pro again. FATAL ERROR: EXCEPTION CODE=C000005. ERROR LOG FILE: C:\PROGRAM FILES(X86 FOR 64-BIT OS)\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT SHARED\VFP\VFP9ERR.LOG HRS Pro is written in Visual FoxPro 9. Are you installing to the default location? This error usually occurs when a copy of the VFP runtime files are installed in the wrong location, typically \Windows\System32. When the app starts, it loads the VFP runtime in the correct location (\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP) and the runtime then looks for its resource file (VFP9ENU.DLL). It finds that file in \Windows\System32 because that's the first place it looks, and since that DLL doesn't match the run time (for example, the runtime in \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP is VFP 9 SP1 while the resource in \Windows\System32 is VFP 9 RTM), you get this error. RESOURCE FILE VERSION MISMATCH FOLLOWED BY VISUAL FOXPRO CANNOT START. COULD NOT LOAD RESOURCES. This error is rare and usually occurs when a copy of the VFP runtime files are installed in the wrong location, typically \Windows\System32. What happens is that the app starts, it loads the VFP runtime in the correct location (\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP) and the runtime then looks for its resource file (VFP9ENU.DLL). It finds that file in \Windows\System32 because that's the first place it looks, and since that DLL doesn't match the run time (for example, the runtime in \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VFP is VFP 9 SP1 while the resource in \Windows\System32 is VFP 9 RTM), you get this error. The solution is to delete any VFP9*.* files in \Windows\System32. Also do a search of the users 'C' drive for these resource files: FoxUser.dbf / FoxUser.fpt. If you find either of these resource files do the following: 1. Close HRS Pro 2. Delete FoxUser.dbf 3. Delete FoxUser.fpt 4. Restart HRS Pro If these steps do not work, try loading HRS Pro on another workstation as this is an environmental specific issue. GETTING ERROR: CANNOT CREATE SUBDIRECTORY C:\USERS\NAME\LOCAL SETTING\APPLICATION DATA\HRSPRO AFTER INSTALLING HRS PRO In Regedit, see what the value says for Local App Data in this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders It should be set to %USERPROFILE%\appdata\local, most likely it is set to local setting Once updated, you will need to reboot your computer GETTING MESSAGE: IT APPEARS HRS_PRO_EXE IS RUNNING FROM DESKTOP AREA... ...'looking at the path of C:USERSNAMEDESKTOP. This program could create unwanted files if run from an improper area. Running the install program of hrs_pro_setup will put this program in the proper area.' HRS Pro should not be installed on the desktop. You will need to uninstall HRS Pro and install to the default location which is: c:\program files (x86 for 64 bit)\wagers and associates\HRS Pro. DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED LATEST VERSION, BUT IT STILL INDICATES OLD VERSION Things to check for: * Make sure you are installing to the previous location * That you have proper Admin rights to install and write to the Windows Registry * Make sure Firewall or Antivirus isn't blocking the installation * Try a different web browser If you are still having issues, contact your IT to assist you further. IMPORTING DATA WHAT FORMATS CAN I USE TO IMPORT MY UNCLAIMED PROPERTY INFORMATION INTO HRS PRO DESKTOP APPLICATION? A Template has been provided that can be filled in and imported back into HRS Pro. 1. HRS Pro Template Spreadsheet can be found within HRS Pro. Click on the Utilities menu, select Import Data and then look for the link to 'Open Excel Template File'. Once you click on the link the spreadsheet will open in Excel. 2. It is recommended to SAVE the template with a new filename in order to preserve the empty template for future import processes. 3. Template MUST also be SAVED AS a “Microsoft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook” (which has a limitation of 16,384 rows) or “CSV (comma-delimited)” (which has no limitation of rows. (Only Excel .xls (or .CSV) properly imports, .xlsx is a compressed file that does not import). 4. For CSV File Import, choose .XLS Spreadsheet Template as the template file type. 5. Do not edit the CSV file. If corrections need to be made open the .XSL file, edit as needed, then save as .CSV file (replace existing file). MY UNCLAIMED PROPERTY DATA IS IN AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET. CAN I IMPORT MY SPREADSHEET INTO HRS PRO? No, you would need to copy and paste your unclaimed property data into the HRS Pro Template Spreadsheet provided in HRS Pro. Note: copy each column by column. Only paste VALUES so that the column formats do not change (such as text, date, numeric formats). Maintain the order of the columns in the HRS Pro Template Spreadsheet. Column widths need to be maintained. Do NOT enter return characters or line wraps in comments or addresses. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IF I RECEIVE AN IMPORT DATA VALIDATION ERROR: LAST TRANSACTION DATE REQUIRED FOR ALL PROPERTIES, BUT THE LAST TRANSACTION DATE IS ENTERED IN THE TEMPLATE? A new version of the import template is available (updated February 2020), for build date 2020.220.1122 and after. Please Open Excel Template File and copy the data to the new spreadsheet. Please note, column T is now used for DELETED SHARES and the subsequent data elements shifted to columns U through DB. If you import a template and receive a validation error: LAST TRANSACTION DATE required for all properties, and you have entered dates for all properties in column A then you may be importing an old version of the import template. Please follow the instructions above or insert a column after S – Reported Shares, column T should now be blank, save and re-import. CAN I IMPORT THE NAUPA FORMATTED FILE BACK INTO HRS PRO? No. The NAUPA file that is generated is meant for import by the state to which you are sending the report to. There is no import process back into HRS Pro. ERROR MESSAGE 'FILE CONTAINS FIRST OWNER(S) WITH NO LAST NAME' 1. Check there is a first owner lastname in column AD. 2. Check that there is NO TOTAL ROW at the bottom of the spreadsheet. 3. Check that the 3rd column has no values. 4. Check for excessively wide addresses or comments and abbreviate if possible. 5. Check for carriage returns or wraps in addresses or comments and remove these. If you are still getting the error message, recheck that you are saving your template spreadsheet as an Excel .XLS (5.0/95 workbook), or save as a .CSV (comma-delimited) file. If you are unable to resolve the problem, try copy/pasting just a few rows from your existing template into a new template and then importing into a new datatset. Keep doing this until you run into the error. You will need to delete the test datasets you have created. ERROR MESSAGE ABOUT INVALID DATE 1. Check that there are no empty dates. 2. Check that date format should look like 3/14/1998 in cell format. 3. Check that the SSN field does not start with a letter. 4. Check that the zip code field does not start with a letter. ERROR MESSAGE ABOUT SPREADSHEET CONTAINS NO VALID DATA You are probably using Excel 2010 or greater. Please save your template spreadsheet as an XLS - 5.0/95 workbook or .CSV file. ERROR MESSAGE OF TOO MANY ROWS The 5.0/95 version of Excel is limited to 16,384 rows. If you need to import a template with more rows save as a .CSV (comma-delimited) file. HOW DO I DELETE A BAD IMPORT AND RE-IMPORT THE SPREADSHEET TEMPLATE? Delete the bad import by deleting the dataset. Create a new dataset and re-import the spreadsheet template into the new empty dataset. HOW CAN I ENSURE THAT PROPERTIES AND OWNERS IMPORTED CORRECTLY? After import, check property and owner details on random properties. Do the Verification process that is in the Data Output area and see what errors show up to determine if you need to fix state specific codes for property types, owner types, and owner relations before considering it a final import. WHAT IS THE COMMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS TAB IN THE SPREADSHEET TEMPLATE? The Comments and Instructions tab in the spreadsheet template explains the corresponding NAUPA spec field, what the data field type is, the format of the field, and any additional comments or instructions for that field. TRYING TO IMPORT SPREADSHEET, HRS PRO STOPS WORKING. Try saving your spreadsheet as a Workbook 5.0/95 and then try importing it again. WHERE DO I FIND THE PROVIDED SPREADSHEET TEMPLATE? While in HRS Pro, under Utilities > Import Data. Click on 'Open Excel Template File'. USING THE DESKTOP APPLICATION IF I PURCHASE THE DESKTOP ENTERPRISE WILL I HAVE ACCESS TO MY OLD DATA FROM THE RETIRED FREE VERSION? The Desktop Enterprise is the same application as the retired free standard edition. By purchasing the enterprise edition, you are provided with a registration code that unlocks a few additional features. Your data will not be replaced, it will remain as it currently is. I'M NEW TO HRS PRO, WHAT IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TO DO? Review the HRS Pro How To User Guide (step-by-step beginner's guide), in PDF File format. Review the HRS Pro Help within the Desktop application. It may also be very helpful to view Frequently Asked Questions and Version Notes. HOW DO I MOVE HRS PRO FROM AN OLD COMPUTER TO A NEWLY INSTALLED COMPUTER? These instructions are for when the DATA resides locally and should be followed exactly as they are written or they will not work. 1. Install HRS Pro on the new computer (be sure and install with administrative rights). 2. Open HRS Pro while logged in with the account that will be running the HRS Pro software. 3. Add a new user and new holder when prompted. This creates a DATA directory and all tables at %localappdata%\HRSPRO for Vista, Win7, Win8, and Win10 operating systems. 4. Close HRS Pro. 5. Copy the DATA folder from old computer (the whole folder, not just the contents of the folder) and replace the current DATA folder on the new computer: %localappdata%\HRSPRO. 6. Have the user log into HRS Pro. This should show contents that were copied from the old computer. ***Do not copy other subdirectories other than the DATA directory from the old computer*** HOW DO I CONFIGURE HRS PRO TO POINT THE DATA TO A NETWORK LOCATION? Once you enter the registration code (Help > Registration Info) on the workstation you want to transfer the data to a shared network drive, this code allows you to configure within HRS Pro a shared network location. To configure HRS Pro to point to a shared network location select the Utilities menu, Configuration and Defaults, then on the Alternative Data Path field (defaults to \DATA if empty) click on Change. The HRS Pro software when seeing an empty subdirectory being pointed to, will ask about copying the local data to the location specified. When this location is entered, all users will be able to access the data once the network location is configured on each workstation. For each workstation that will be accessing the same data will need to have the registration code entered, and then network configured as above. Once a data directory resides on the network, you will not be prompted on the additional workstations to move the data, you will just enter the network location. WE HAVE DATABASES ON MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER AND WOULD LIKE TO COMBINE THEM. CAN I MERGE MULTIPLE DATABASES TOGETHER? Yes, you can access the Merge Document in PDF format, at this link: Merge Databases Be sure to read the document in its entirety before performing the merge process as this process is technical in nature and should require someone with technical understanding. Please consult with your IT department for further guidance when performing the merge process. http://www.wagers.net/hrs/pdf/Merge_Databases.pdf HOW DO I SAVE MY WORK? HRS Pro automatically saves your information while using the program. However, many screens have a SAVE option that must be clicked before proceeding entering data in another screen. COLORADO DEDUCTIONS NOT WORKING. Check these things: 1. Owner state is CO. In the spreadsheet template this would be owner 1's state. 2. The comments are not really long in the spreadsheet template. 3. Empty out any values in Column C, Property Category in the spreadsheet template. HOW DO I BACK UP MY DATA? Data resides locally: HRS Pro gets installed at the C:\Program Files(x86-if using a 64 bit OS)\Wagers and Associates\HRS Pro. However, the DATA (Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10) is installed by default on the local machine at: %localappdata%\HRSPRO\DATA. Windows XP the data resides here: C:\Program Files\Wagers and Associates\HRSPRO\DATA. Since most times your local system does not get backed up, you would need to manually back up the DATA folder and save it to a different location. Data resides on a network location: When configuring HRS Pro to point the data to a network location, the data then can reside on a network drive where there is generally a backup scheduled. Therefore, the data would automatically be backed up based on your IT policy. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BACK UP MY DATA FOLDER? That depends on how much you are using it. Best practice is to back it up after each long editing session. MY COMPUTER CRASHED, HOW DO I GET MY DATA BACK? If HRS Pro has not been configured to point the data to a network location, most likely you have not performed a data backup. If you have a backup of your data follow the instructions as they are written below: If you have a backup of your DATA. 1. Download and install HRS Pro onto another working computer as an Admin. 2. Start HRS Pro with the login account of who will be using HRS Pro. 3. Create a User and Holder (or Company) as prompted which creates all the data tables. 4. Copy the backup DATA folder and replace the existing DATA folder at %localappdata%\HRSPRO\DATA location. If a backup cannot be found, look for possible backups of the DATA folder by searching for "HRS.DBC" in the most likely network drives. If you cannot find a backup, there is no way to recover the data. HOW DO I SET THE MARGINS FOR THE OWNER LETTERS? Set the top margin to a larger number in the screen right before printing the owner letters to a printer. HOW DO I EDIT, ADD OR DELETE INFORMATION ON THE OWNER LETTERS? Owner letters can be edited by doing the following: 1. Click on Utilities menu. 2. Click on Configuration and Defaults menu. 3. Click on the Owner Letters tab. I CANNOT ADD AN OWNER. You must SAVE the property information first. HOW DO I SHARE DATA THAT WAS INPUT PREVIOUSLY ON ONE COMPUTER? Instructions: 1. Install the latest version of HRS Pro, if needed on the computer that has previous year's data. 2. Prepare an empty subdirectory on the network drive, in an area that all users will have read/write rights. IMPORTANT: Do the computer with the most data first, completing #3,4,5. 3. Enter the Registration code in HRS Pro, top menu choice of Help, About. 4. Enter the path to that empty subdirectory in HRS Pro, Utilities, Configuration screen. 5. Respond YES to copy all data over to that empty subdirectory. Repeat steps 1, 3, 4 on the other workstations that will be sharing the data. IS HRS PRO ABLE TO SEPARATE RECORDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY REPORTABLE AND EXCLUDE THOSE THAT ARE NOT DUE? Currently, HRS Pro is not set up to determine dormancy period and what is escheatable to the states. However, you can create separate DataSets to control when these properties are reported, etc. GETTING 'INVALID PATH' WHEN USING HRS PRO If you have logged into HRS Pro and this message displays: 'The Data path in HRS Pro, Utilities, Configuration is invalid', most likely someone has moved the Data on the network to a different location. RECEIVING ERROR #12 If you are receiving an Error #12 it is from trying to import a custom template, which used to be an SDF type. This version has not been supported since June of 2012 when the template was updated. Recently, we have done some extensive database and template updates which has caused this custom template to stop working. The only supported method for importing data into HRS Pro is using the spreadsheet template that is provided for you within HRS Pro. Since the provided template has very specific formatting, users will copy and paste just the values into the template within HRS Pro, and then import the template into a new dataset. NOTE: when pasting, be sure to right click and select the option 'Values' only. RECEIVING ERROR #13 Error 13 is due to mineral interest state missing in the mineral interest section. The only states that accept mineral interest details within HRS Pro are OK, AR & TX. All other states would not have the mineral interest defined. Make sure you are using the latest template within the software or it will cause validation errors. To resolve this error you can either edit each property record by adding the state to the mineral interest tab or correct the spreadsheet template (using latest version) by entering the state for the mineral interest and then re-import into a new dataset. RECEIVING 1104 ERROR Error 1104 (Error reading file X:\data location on network\hrs_props (or another name).dbf.) This error is most likely due to trying to write the data to the network location and that location is running out of space. CAN I MERGE DATASETS TOGETHER? DataSets cannot be merged together. You can use the export feature under the Holder Reports menu 'Export'. This will allow you to export the report as an CSV or XLS file type. Then you can use the spreadsheet template and copy/paste the data content into the correct column on the template from each report exported. After you combine the data into the new template, you can create a new DataSet and import the template. DATA OUTPUT WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT FILE EXTENSIONS OF .HDE AND .TXT FOR DIFFERENT STATES? HRS Pro creates two different types of the NAUPA II files based on state requirements: 1. .HDE The .HDE file is an encrypted secure file produced for states that have the ability to accept the encrypted files. 2. .TXT The .TXT file is a standard text file for those states that do not have the ability to decrypt the files. HRS Pro knows which file extension should be assigned to each particular state. All states accept the NAUPA II format. Prior to June 2019 the non-encrypted file was saved as a .HRS file. This was changed to .TXT to avoid problems with renaming the file extensions for states that do not accept .HRS files. HOW CAN I SECURELY SEND MY .TXT FILE TO A STATE THAT DOESN'T ACCEPT THE .HDE FILE? You may choose to utilize a program like WinZip in which you can password protect the .TXT file. If you do this, do not send the password in the package with the CD or floppy. Contact the state you are reporting to for the best delivery method and providing them with the password. DOES THE NAUPA FILE GET SENT TO THE STATE AUTOMATICALLY? No. After creating the NAUPA file a message will display for those states that accept an electronic upload directly on their state's website. Otherwise, if no message is displayed you must read the requirements to determine how to send your report to the state, visit the state's website, or contact the state directly. Do not assume by sending a report to one state it is done the same way at another state as each state has different requirements WHY CAN'T I OPEN MY NAUPA FILE? The purpose of an .HDE file is to securely lock the NAUPA file by encrypting the data which could have Personal Identifying information in it. The state you are reporting to has the ability to decrypt and load the file as necessary. HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT NAUPA FILE IS CORRECT? The detailed and summary reports can be printed after creating the NAUPA file which is an exact representation of the data that is being submitted to the state. WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THE REVISED NAUPA II ELECTRONIC REPORTING STANDARD FORMAT? Click on the link below to download the NAUPA Revised (NAUPA II) Electronic Reporting Standard (in PDF format). http://www.unclaimed.org/uploads/resources/52/naupa-format-revised-9-26-13-new-relationship-ownership-codes-final-correct1.pdf HOW DO I CHANGE THE .HRS FILE TYPE TO .TXT? Locate the NAUPA file with the extension of .HRS. Right click on the file name and select RENAME. Replace .HRS with .TXT. STATE INFORMATION WHAT STATES HAVE WEBSITES WHERE UNCLAIMED PROPERTY REPORTING FILES CAN BE UPLOADED? States that have direct upload will display a link after creating the NAUPA file allowing you to access their website directly to upload the file manually to their state site. HOW DO I SEE THE WEBSITE LINK OF THE STATES THAT ACCEPT WEBSITE UPLOADS? The state website link and more specific information for that state is presented on a screen when the NAUPA file is created. HOW DO I FIND STATE CONTACT INFORMATION? For specific Unclaimed Property Report Contact information, open HRS Pro application, choose the STATE GUIDELINES, Contact Info icon. Then, select the state you want to contact from the drop down box.
