AB6 - Edit Attendance weeks Print E-mail

AB6 - Edit Attendance not showing the correct number of weeks

Currently Edit Attendance looks for complete weeks before it starts its week count

A work around until this is corrected:
-          Explore into your CM folder
-          make a copy of calendar.mdb
-          open your calendar.mdb file
-          scroll down to the 2010 entries
-          look for the first week you were open in 2010
-          Add 1’s into the Term column for the days you weren’t open that week
-          Close the database
-          The next time you open AB6 Edit will read the weeks correctly
