Dear EDExpress Users:

This letter announces the encloseavailability of the Version 5.3 of EDExpress Service Release for Version
5.3. This release has been issued in the form of a patch file (.DLL patch) which will overwrite specific
.DLL files on your PC workstation(s) to resolve incorrect Direct Loan and Pell import error messages
occurring in the initial release of Version 5.3 (v5.3).

. Version 5.3 eThe two issues resolved by this patch file are:

1) If you attempt to import a large number of records into the Direct Loan module, you may receive an
“Out of Memory” or “Can't open any more tables” error. The actual number of records necessary to
trigger one of these errors will vary depending on your available system resources. This problem is
caused by a memory leak during Direct Loan imports.

2) EDExpress is also generating batch integrity errors when importing Pell Origination acknowledgement
files for more than 175 records or Pell Disbursement acknowledgements for more than 97 records. Once
the patch file is installed, you will be able to import these files and any future acknowledgement files for
any number of Pell Origination and/or Disbursement records.

We have addressed the following items in this letter:

• Procedures for installing the .DLL patch if EDExpress v5.3 is already installed on your
system, and
• Procedures for installing the .DLL patch if you are installing EDExpress for the first time.
•
•
