With the release of WIMS Client 8.5.2 a database upgrade is required.  The upgrade is automatically applied when logging into a Facility Database for the first time with the WIMS 8.5.2 client.  Tech Notes:SQL Server scripts:

SQL SERVER

ALTER TABLE VARDESC ADD ASSOCTESTID [Numeric](18, 0) NULL DEFAULT (NULL)

NOTE: Beta users may have added a VARDESC.TESTID column.  If so, the database upgrade renames to ASSOCTESTID (sp_rename 'VARDESC.TESTID', 'ASSOCTESTID', 'COLUMN')

ORACLE

ALTER TABLE VARDESC ADD ASSOCTESTID NUMBER DEFAULT NULL
