Description

Downloads and installs the latest database and program updates for BeerSmith from the internet.  You can control which items are downloaded using the Auto Update tab of the Options command on the Tools menu.

Note: If the BeerSmith program is updated, the new version will not install fully until the next time you open BeerSmith.

Use

bulletMake sure you are connected to the internet.
bulletSelect the Update BeerSmith from Internet command on the Tools menu.
bulletPress the Start button.  For large updates, download progress will be displayed in the dialog.  After all items have been downloaded, they will automatically install.  If the BeerSmith program is updated it will not be installed until you close and start BeerSmith again.

Note: For data table updates, BeerSmith does a File Merge of the new items into the existing table.  If you have modified standard table items and not given them a new name, it is possible for updates to overwrite some of your data.  To avoid this, please give your own copies of data unique names.  In all cases, the merge attempts to maintain your existing inventory and hop alpha values.
