Install State Programs

State Programs dialog box is displayed.

Repairing State Program Files
Scheduler
If the state program files on your computer or server are more recent than the state
program files most recently installed, the current files will not be replaced. If you must
overwrite the current state files, contact Drake Support or click the Help button of the
Install State Programs dialog box for more information.
The Scheduler tool is used for scheduling and maintaining client appointments. For
information on using this tool, see “Scheduler” on page 85.
