vPars version A.01.01.00 came out in 2001, version A.02.03.02 in 2003.

Both are unsupported for a long time.

The current release for 11.11 is

A.03.05

You should apply all of the latest patch bundles from http://www.itrc.com -> patch database to your servers.

(I assume the patch level is at the same age more or less as your vPars software)

My suggestion is that you read the release notes for all these things you are wanting to do.

If you would like I can cut and paste all information here ? ;)
