Ah – actually you can “cut&paste” from windows, in to NewViews And Vs

but you need to have NV as a “Window” – (of course, this is window’s dependant – and works with server or XP Editions)

When you have NewViews up and running – do ALT Enter, and it will toggle back and forth between full screen or window’ed.

In really – the proc is only a quick short cut, to exporting what ever is showing in a report. And presumes all numbers are in the first column.

I have emailed the code to you, so can import it, into a procedure. If I was doing a “product” – then certainly the options would be included.

As a simple service, here is the code to get you started. The code should be expanded to include what is the column Amount, and to set the Print Options – but then we start getting into a program – and not just a few lines of code.

Copy (Cut & Paste) the code into any Procedure. Set a block on a report, then /GR MYPROC. Don’t forget to set your print options !!!

Hope this helps you get started
David

Ah – at the simple level, a little bit of NPL code will let you export anything. For example the procedure EXP123 – will almost give exactly what you want.

Some of the questions around this, are
Do you want all of the accounts, include the “Total To” or only posting accounts?
And for what day or end period of time?

Hmm – I appear to stand corrected. IN prior versions of Windows, this used to work with any program.

However it still does work with NewViews. The NewViews program (your books) must “have the focus” for the Alt Enter combination to work.

OR more simply put, when you are in a set of books, hold down either ALT Key, and then press the ENTER Key.

Your NewViews screen should toggle between Window’d, and full screen.

Hope this helps

Ah – not really? I presume you can preset this, but I simply do {ALT} +{Enter} and toggles the (any) window to max or not including NewViews.

Not to “nick-pick” but before you can expect any windows or nv programs to work correctly – Windows must work correctly.

I would strongly suggest that your Friend “repair” whatever the problems are. You must be able to enter windows in normal mode (for any version). it will be impossible for any one to help, prior to Windows working correctly. Then, I will be glad to help you find any answers – afterward.

Hi,

As for the Warning Message – it would have been better called “Information” or “NOTE”
While it is true that no transported NV1 Procedure will run in NV2 – I would strongly suggest bringing the entire set of books including all the procedures because often hidden information resides in the “Record View” such as Company Name.

David

HI,

As a long time CC, I have a few “learned” opinions – to your questions.
BUT Really QW Page should be providing answers.

Hmm – I think they are just slow to respond. I’m a cc, and sometimes they are slow through this forum to even my questions.

The very first draft of the export proc saw this as an error, and so it continues as a “Warning”

Ah – any proc with more than 1,000 lines will generate this Warning Note.

– None of the existing NV1 procs will be converted. They must all be re-written in the NV2 Procedure language.

As to why the warnings still come up . . . That is a darn good question !!

Ah – usually that works, but sometimes not. As a quirk of Windows & NewViews, NewViews may not let you output to LPT2 or LPT3 “USE NET” only works with the first 3 LPT Printer Ports.

So as a certainty – using LPT1 as the NET Printer will allow you to put nothing into the NV FILE NAME of the Print Options – and still have it directed to the NET Printer

BUT – both methods will work, unless . . . .

Enjoy the weekend Henry
I’m off to Toronto for a few days of other work

Ah – Not to step on anyone toes – Unless the printer is specifically listed for “line printing” or DOS, then not likely it will work. Most of the newer printers (including laser) use a graphics method.

However it is a good idea to try!
AND You can find more help in Windows on this command by searching “NET USE LPT1” from the “START => HELP and SUPPORT”

You should use the command with “back slashes”
NET USE LPT1 \MyComputerPrinterShareName

the “MyComputer” can also be the IP Address of the Computer.
Additionally you must be certain the network printer is allowed to share.

And oh-by-the-way, you should NOT have a local printer using LPT1

I believe, QW Page would love to have it released for Oct 1,
But Ah, I do not think they will be ready for the end of this month. I do think that the end of the year will / could be possible.

I have found some printers to require larger margins – so for testing I begin at 55 lines, and then increase.

Depends . . . . it could be one of several things inside or outside of NewViews. Ah – check the first line of his NewViews print driver. Most likely it has OF – put it to “blank / null”

Also you might want to check the page length of what you’re trying to print. If it is an invoice longer than 1 page, it will always kick out an extra page.

> Customer also mentions about system freezing on occasion. He’s running Windows 2000 on Celeron 2.4 Ghz, 512 Ram Are there some optimal settings for memory management?

Don’t take this the wrong way – Welcome to Windows !! Uh, let me pick a list of several thousand reasons why his system could freeze
1 . . . 2 . . . .

Hope this helps
