Why are there different file extensions of .HDE and .HRS for different States ?

HRS Pro creates encrypted security files with the extension of .HDE for Wagers Supported States that have the ability to decrypt. It also provides the old format of .HRS for Non-Wagers States that do not have the ability to decrypt the files.

How can I get additional copies and/or new versions of ACS Wagers Holder Reporting System (HRS-Pro)?

Download HRS-Pro from our downloads page which is found by following the link for downloads.

Why is the software free?

ACS Wagers provides support to more than half of the United States Unclaimed Property departments. By providing electronic report submissions in a standard format that can be imported, this saves time for the states.

Where can I read about how to use HRS-Pro?

You can download the HRS-Pro User's Guide in PDF file type from the downloads page by following the downloads link.

In addition, you can run HRS-Pro, select "Help" found on the title bar (or press <F1>), and then select the HRS-Pro help sub menu item. You can also press <F1> on any screen for help and information about that screen.

How can I backup my HRS-Pro data?

There is no backup function in HRS-Pro to backup the data. What can be done to backup HRS-Pro is copy the entire HRS-Pro directory to wherever backups are being made. Consult with your computer support personnel to determine how backups are performed in your company.

Can HRS-Pro be installed on a network so multiple people can access it at the same time?

Yes. The Enterprise Edition of HRS Pro supports a shared database for network users. The Standard Edition runs as a single-user application only. Even in a shared environment, HRS Pro must be installed on each workstation individually.

How can I tell the difference between NAUPA I and NAUPA II format ?

HRS Pro released in September of 2003 creates NAUPA II format by default. There are some quick and easy ways to tell the difference. If the file is opened in Excel and the byte position indicator shows beyond position 577, it is NAUPA II. NAUPA I format is below 578. If any record line contains a "6" in the first character (for tangible properties), it is NAUPA II. NAUPA I contains a "4" in the first character on the last summary line. NAUPA II contains a "9" in the first character on the last summary line.
