    I agree – and Yes, many things from clients are not GAAP – :-)

    When things are automated – they should follow GAAP Rules to the letter – or at least that’s how I design my programs.

    Then if the client – wants to deviate – its their books !

    Henry,

    The Import / Export procedures run correctly – it is by design, that if there is something in the notes view, of the last account / item imported – then the view remains in the NOTES. If the Last item to be imported has no notes – then you will remain on the Ledger View.

    For example – if you look at the notes view of any Account, jump to / go to any next account – you’re still on the notes view. This also is the same for any Distribution View D or N.

    This is by design – and not a bug.

    Copy the following code into an FKEY – procedure and it will correct the view for any location to a NOT Notes View. Or you can download “aView.zip” containing this code from (it will be removed in a few weeks)

    Hmm,

    Yes the ZERO cheque works – but not for the reasons you describe. Or perhaps you / I are suggesting something different?

    The Zero cheque can be used – providing the negative amount remains. Then the zero cheque is compliant. However if you issue a zero cheque, and remove the negative amount / the offset to the payroll account is not correct. In this context – I was suggesting the zero cheque is not GAAP

    Personally I think it would be much simpler to write a small procedure that allows you to ignore cheques the printing of any cheques – under a certain “pre defined amount” – Do you really want to issue cheques for 0.34 cents ?

    Lettmee see if I can come up with something simple on this. Where you can run it after parsing the cheque template where you could predefine a minimum amount or else the printing is skipped.

    It should take only a few lines of code.

    Hmm

    I don’t think issuing a ZERO cheque is an option. It would give audit problems. However – skipping ZERO or less (or a softcoded amount), maybe be the solution ?

    It may be possible to stick a few lines of code into the template to do exactly this. – but then every time the template is parsed – the code would have to be added again.

    It could be added / done with the @PRC(FixPay) procedure

    Mark – you have always been polite and helpful to me, and with timely replies.

    In reality – I was trying to gently prompt a reply – and was not trying to be “not nice” !!

    No doubt you will report good news – when you have some

    To QW Page, perhaps I should apologize
    As a writer of software, I can understand about delays – changes – many things.

    Hi,

    This is normal behavior when you export / import an account from the report level. As a procedure, it exports the transactions, distributions, and the notes. IN that order – The import happens in the same order which is why you are on the notes view.

    When you do a document expand to the Account – you could simply do / DV L to move back into the Ledger view.

    I hope this helps?

    You are quite right !

    It is a bit “dis heartening” to see that the good folks at QW Page – do not / did not give any answers AND are taking so long to reply to such simple questions.

    Could It be that they do not read the forums as often as they should ?

    You’re right – timing and scheduling – does not appear to be one of QW Page’s great strengths. So I’ll let the folks at QW Page respond to info about any release dates.

    I can only comment for myself.
    A way back when – i saw multi-user DOS running. What ever happened to it?

    NewViews 1 is a great product – easily with standing the tests of time!! After all, it is still being used by thousands – and has enough built in design smarts to continue doing well in the Windows world also!

    From what I have seen of NV2 (first hand) – I have no doubt NV2 will be as good or better than the NV1.
    So – hopefully our continued patience will be well rewarded.

    Regards

    I ran some other tests – a DOS Dot matrix (which I know prints with newviews – even from windows). I put this printer on the network, and had no problems controling the printing. Even the graphic files were reasonable for a dot matrix.

    The nvPRNq was not really designed for “DOS Capablties” – but if Windows can do it, then so can nvPRNq ;-) But I can see, being able to send HEX codes such as “RESET” would be a nice to have feature – especially with DOS, but . . . . . it can be encoded into the template using @chr()

    Next I will try moving the books to the network (configured as Tom Hyland did) – but in past tests, this did not give any problems (providing the local workstation is setup correctly.

    There are a few solutions to the printing problem – I’ve setup lots of customers doing exactly what you do.

    But I like better being able to have some control over the templates – and being able to control the graphic files as well as type size – directly from the NV Template. Then I get consistant results – especially when having to print 100’s or 1000s of documents. (not really something I want to do from Word)

    Oh :-)

    Thank you for the assist !

    I did send him a “private note” about some suggestions. It appears to be a more of a Windows problem – but I am not certain. Althought I never thougth about the file name limit – by habit I always make DOS files to be 8×3 chars.

    But I would suggest sticking to the .prn from newviews. As a “drag & drop” the file name does not matter.

    There are some new updates to the NV Side, and I will release them next week – they mostly make the installation simplier.

    Thanks again Henry.

    Hmm,

    I spoke with the CRA today – and they are requesting the data in XML and on a CD or other medium to be sent snail mail (Canada Post). They have no provision for uploading directly – more than 70 employees.

    Its do-able, but . . . . .

    Well, if you were asking me – I’d put my plug in for using my nvPRNq program, which is designed to painless enable such things

    – as printing to any network printer that the local windows workstation can see.

    PS – I do recall, from a few years ago having similar problems with NT & HP – where the text came out garbled (if it came out at all). Microsoft had a fix for this – but I no longer recall where or what.
