Internet Explorer 7

It seems Microsoft has pushed Internet Explorer 7 to Windows users with a recent software update. The following is a message from SpEd Forms concerning the upgrade. In a nutshell, please check your browser settings if you've been upgraded to IE 7. Here's what SpEd Forms has to say:

Recently most Windows computers were automatically updated to Internet Explorer 7.0 by Microsoft Automatic Updates. Some teachers who have had the update installed reported entering information, saving, and then not seeing the information the next time they returned to the same page.

In these cases, browser setup was not reviewed after the Internet Explorer 7.0 update. Remember, if there is any change to browser or system configuration then it is essential to review browser setup. In these cases, Internet Explorer 7.0 was simply showing the teachers older (blank) versions of web pages because Internet Explorer was set to “Check for newer versions of stored pages” “Automatically”. This setting needs to be changed to “Every time I visit the web page”.

Please remember it is essential to check SpEd Forms setup:
1. On every computer used for SpEd Forms.
2. Every time the computer is worked on by computer technicians.
3. Every time the internet browser is updated.
4. Any time SpEd Forms does not behave as expected.

A link to SpEd Forms setup instructions can be found in the yellow box on the SpEd Forms login screen.
