BUDGET - deleted this table and associated logic, it wasn't a clean fit or needed by the other modules

EMAIL - dialog box for creating emails now has a tab panel

EVENT - dialog box for creating events now has a tab panel

TAXES - had the ability to export records that are tax specific to a different table, this never really worked the way I imagined it, so I deleted the table and associated logic

RELATIONSHIP GRAPH - InBizness SOHO has been using anchor / buoy for quite some time. In this update, I made tweaks to the naming convention for objects on the relationship graph. In short, all buoy objects will have the naming convention of anchor_BUOY__comment. So the name of the anchor will appear first in lowercase, underscore character, BUOY NAME IN UPPERCASE, (optional dual underscore characters), (optional text that better describes the relationship).

PRIVILEGE SETS - Added the privilege sets of Owner, Manager, Admin, Sales, Data Entry, Customer Service and Information Tech. These are common business roles in a workplace and this allows us to integrate these roles with staff based security settings.
