Wish list: save button on report designer

Minor request -- right now there are 2 buttons on the report designer toolbar labeled:
1- Close
2- Save and Close

I suggest adding a Save button where the user can periodically save work while designing a report without closing out the report designer via "Save and Close".

Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for your quick reply :D -- even on a weekend. 1- Library example . I don't think the library overdue loan example "fits" my example. In the library example, there is 1 letter produced for each instance of the BO in context. In my Word template, I need 1 Word doc with each instance of the BO a...

Word Merge -- using <<next record>> ?

Using Word Merge, there is <<Next Record>> indicator that will allow multiple instances of 1 BO to show on 1 Word Doc. For example, <<FirstName>> <<Last Name>> <<Address>> <<City>>, <<State>> <<Zip>> <<Next Record>> <<FirstName>> <<Last Name>> <<Address>> <<City>>, <<State>> <<Zip>> <<Next Record>> ...

Boy do I feel silly. :roll: All the detail is right there. Just another example of AwareIM's power.

1 small suggestion for AwareIM: Add a sentence to the Error Message screen in the UI that refers the user to the Logs for more details.

Thanks for the pointer, Feeldabuzz.

I'm so accustomed to having on screen error messages vs. an event log, I haven't even looked at the Event Log.

Tip on problem solving in rules

A trick I learned from an MS Access forum in problem solving macros: In problem solving a process, you can temporarily turn a rule OFF by putting 1=2 in the condition field. Obviously 1=2 will never be true so that the rule is temporarily turned OFF. I also use this approach when there is part of a ...

Wish list: more complete error messages

I'm wondering if it would be possible to make error messages more complete. In MS Access for example, when a macro encounters an error, you receive a screen that has: - Macro name - Condition - Action name - Arguments. These 4 pieces of info make it relatively easy to track down the problem in my co...

Thanks for the info. Rather than learn how to do this in Java right now, I think I will: 1- pass info from Access about "as of" date / time of the data 2- store that data in AwareIM 3- Have AwareIM inquire periodically on the file that will carry the date / time data to see if their is more recent d...

Any way to determine if a file exists from within AwareIM?

Just wondering if there is any way from within AwareIM to determine if a given file path exists?

I would like to:
1- check if a CSV file exists
2- import the CSV file
3- delete CSV file that was imported.

Any thoughts anyone? :)

Thanks,
Tom

automate csv import from MS Access including header line

I've worked out a way to create fully automate the process of exporting query results from MS Access to a CSV file which AwareIM can then import. The tricky part was creating the first line of the CSV including BO.attribute info for each column of the CSV file. If anyone is interested, let me know &...

Integrity Check items are clickable !

In case you've had Integrity Check issues & haven't completely read the documentation -- just click on an item in the Integrity Check list & you will be taken right to the proper screen to find & correct the issue.

Neat stuff.

I forgot to mention that when trying to Test the BSV with the form section with no attributes, I got an error message:


System error generating forms. null


If the BSV had the integrity check I suggested, I would never been able to test & get this above error.

Additonal integrity check suggestion

Through some renaming & reconfiguring, I've ended up with an autogenerated form with no attributes. It would be helpful if the Integrity Check process could notify me of that situation. Right now, I didn't find out until I edited that Form & tried to click OK before I noticed that the attributes wer...
