Hi,
NewViews keeps the past 24 months as current. You can select any beginning or ending date by month. Prior to 24 months, it is only by the year. This limitation will be removed in NV2Hope this helps

Our searches have shown that some printers have built in settings to allow ASCII type characters – but then it excludes the graphic files.

Interesting problem – I will look into including this feature into the next nvPRNq. Currently you can add the books path, etc – but only through a template. It could be added programmatic by using a procedure to make a file to be appended to the header or footer.
The “Block Print” is a raw print command. However you could do it now, with either NewViews or nvPRNq – by using a procedure to do the “block print” for you AND to make life simpler – connect the procedure to an FKEY.
David
Perhaps I could suggest using my program nvPRNq?
you can download from http://www.prgms.com/newviews/nvprnq/Beta2/index.html

Hmm, – I still stand by this statement !
>Could It be that they do not read the forums as often as they should ?1 – No one doubts you’re busy – and the importance of completing the NV2 project.
2 – Given that very few know about this forum, it is starting to pickup. AND the “Experienced Users & CC, Etc) do provide most of the answers. BUT some of the questions can only be answered directly by QW Page – the rest of us can only speculate . . . .
3 – I agree competitive wares should not be peddled here. FYI – I thought long and hard when creating new products and the questions of “Competing or Enhancing” for the methodology / design structures.
ALL my products Enhance and Require NV1 to work. NONE of my products work without NV1 nor replace NV1. Even the pseudo multi-user requires NV1, Or it Does Not Work, Period ! So I know, you can not be speaking about any of my products, for the “competitive wares”
4 – Attitudes? Censor? NV1 is a Great Product !!!!!! Bar None !!! BUT communications with the Channel Partners has never been QW Pages strong point. Perhaps killing the messenger when talking about the Emperors new clothes, is a solution to consider? When Teaching / Supervising – I have always tried to impress “Bring the problems, but take time to bring some solutions, too”
IF YOU Do not have the time to moderate, etc – then why not follow my past suggestions of appointing a “Forum Moderator” who QW Page will give direct access for various questions. then nominate / give considerations to Henry – he is an excellent choice – knowledgeable, well tempered, and a good writer
The purpose of the forum should be to express real concerns And/Or finding solutions to problems. – it should not be for “bashing” anyone including QW Page – enough said !
Sincerely Yours

Hi Frank,
Hmm it’s a real possibility, but perhaps you should consider how often in the past did you need help with your NewViews program. Most users go for years without any “maintenance” And even if QW Page closed, there are still several / many CC who could continue to help you.
It may be also possible that you would be a good candidate for some of the newer products we have under development. The multi-user NV1, will export a complete set of books suitably for import to Access, SQL Server, or Oracle. Comparatively speaking such a move / migration is not cheap, and not easy. Other than for smaller companies – it is much easier and cost effective than beginning with a completely new accounting system.
Regards
DavidArchaic or not, one of NV’s very strong points – is to be able to copy / create any existing accounting requirements. Something that even the larger accounting system have difficulty to do.
And through the brilliance of QW Page, or Microsoft (perhaps both) – NV continues to run in or out of windows. DOS (acronym for Disk Operating System) will not go away for next several years. It is an “underlying” requirement for all Windows Computer Operating Systems.
If perchance, QW Page closes – those depending on Payroll would have problems – but there are other products that can provide payroll too. There are no other NV product that I know of, where releases are “time dependant” such as payroll.
Like you, I enjoy the simplicity and ease of use for NV1 to perform complex tasks.
But I’m betting that many NV1 users would like to have the same, only in multi-user. And so we have been developing independently of QW Page, just that. At this point we are able to have all the transactions working in a multi-user version, back linked to a set of NV books. The problem remaining – are still the procedures. Not withstanding, cost is also a large question for the smaller users. My version and NV2 are not “in-expensive”
And did you find a working solution?
You could try to delete the nv.cfg
And / Or remove the attributes from the nv.exe, and data?.nv filesits sounds like the system is holding the file open, after a crash. Normally rebooting the computer solves this problem.
Changes to the Registry ARE NOT required to fix this problem.
David
Well, as a simple comment – it is unlikely DOS will disappear in the next few window releases.
Believe it or not, Internet Explorer is very dependent on several programming functions – that require DOS (invisbly of course).
So have no fears – DOS is here, still to continue for several more years.
Oh by the way – NV1 works very well with NT4, Win XP, and WIN2003, and for me, I find it to be very reliable, fast and easy in WinXP.

The NV1 patterns are so ingrained – they will be difficult to change. Hence the need for an NV1 Shell to wrap around the NV2 program – and for me, this is a KEY Selling point to converting any prior users.

NV1 is written in modified assembler. And the main reason its very fast. However, I do not think there is anyone remaining on staff, who can still write in this language – NOT a minor problem!
And for ideal logic, what does it take to figure out a multi-user NV1 – would quell everybody’s clambering for the new product. So my question would be, “Why does this simple logic escape the thinkers – at QW Page?”
When a tree falls in the forest and nobody to listen – does it make a noise?

> improvements to NV1 since Prod 6 was released, was that 1987 or 1998?Well, what if I told you that a “semi-automatic” multi-user version of NV1 is just around the corner (to be released by me, of course). Would you try it, use it? promote it? Needless to say – it will/does require NV1.

About the odds, or the REAL Escape date?
Must I hold my breath ???
It is also why some of us, are continuing development for the NV1 – into Windows platform. NV1 has a “staying power” unmatched by almost any other software. Or are we just dinosaurs who refuse to die !!
