In Account > Bank > Reconcile and click on the Name of your Bank Account (Blue Table) and change the postings explorer view to closed (X). Hold down the control key and click on Reconcile (this will highlight the colum) and type in your reconcile text. In your example, 20050701 will ahead of 2005062000 if the chevron (V) next to reconcile is downward and behind if the chevron is pointing upward.
In regards to your reconcilie coding in NV2, you could adopt something like 200506-01-01 for subtotal one and then 200506-02-01 for subtotal two etc. Just a thought.

Yes. You must run ATYPE or TATYPE on your accounts before running NVEXPORT. I suggest that you have an accounting person on your end read the NewViews 2.03 manual Appendix B – NV1 Users – Converting NV1 to NV2.
Also, I suggest that you review the conversion forum postings here in the NV2 Forum.

On the F.A.Q. page at http://www.qwpage.com under NV2 for Windows we do state that in the initial release of NV2 we will be printing through Microsoft Excel. This is under features.
It would have been nice if we could have used OpenOffice or StarOffice but the interface and documentation to access either from a third party like NV2 isn’t available.

Steve,
This problem will be fixed in the next NV2 update which should be ready for download tomorrow (July 26, 2005). Sorry for any inconvenience.

Open the template in Excel. Click the windows menu Insert > Name > Define (hot keys Alt IND) and search for CHECKAMOUNTASTERISK and click on it. Click on the entry Refers to: which will show you where it exists in the Excel Template. Change the Name in workbook from CHECKAMOUNTASTERISK to CHECKAMOUNT and click the Add button. Click back on CHECKAMOUNTASTERISK and click the Delete button then click OK.
Save the excel spreadsheet template and you will be fine.
Note, if CHECKAMOUNT exists above, use CHECKAMOUNT_1 instead. Increment the number to a non existing number to complete this task.

Run Server from the NewViews 2.0 windows menu on one machine where you have installed NV2 and on this NV2 server machine offer the books you have already converted. Note this machines IP address and or share name as you’ll need this below.
Run workstation from the NewViews 2.0 windows menu on another machine in which you have installed NV2 on and press the insert key to add a new row in the workstation table. Under server on this new row, enter the servers IP address or share name (see above) and press enter. Under directory press the F3 key to pick the NV2 database to connect to and press enter. Under state, press F3 and select Open.
Information on how to run a server and a workstation can be found in the NewViews 2.0 manual by clicking on the NewViews 2.0 windows menu by clicking on Manual. When the NewViews 2.03 manual appears on your screen, click on the plus (+) next to NewViews 2.03 Manual and you will see a help topic called The Server and The workstation. Click on the plus on the root topic to get more detailed information on both of these topics.

Issue /Go runProc SUPPORT (/GR) in your books and note NewViews program directory. Is it the same program directory as where you had pressed enter on Options in the NewViews shell. I’m thinking it isn’t or Edit Reconcile is still off in your Options.
If your NV1 program is in C:NV> you can open a command prompt on your system and go to your C:NV> directory and type the following syntax and press enter:
nvc mybooks /editrt /nosafety
The above command will take you into a set of books called MYBOOKS with the edit reconcile set to on with edit safety turned off.
I suggest that you create a folder off of your NV2 folder call it the name of the company and use this path as the path name in NV1 import instead of C:NV2.

Henry,
Go to the root Purchase Journal (NewViews > Journal > Purchase) and click the window pull down button and click trade information. Change your descriptions there. In a future release you will be able to change the description from trade information for that particular journal.
To have the correct journal appear in each entry that you make, press insert which will insert a new row and click on journal, type your PO-50% which show you a select journal table and press enter on the correct journal. Now right mouse click Edit > Default Value > Set (or key strokes ALT EVS or Ctrl KW). This will set the PO-50% to come up each time you press insert.
Press F9 on the entry in question (like NV1 GOX) is the entry you had mentioned the same entry you had entered?

Martin
In response to FMuklo’s posting of June 28, 2005.
We need a more precise description of what you are doing when you experience these delays.
NV2 auto commits every “row” (if necessary) when the cursor moves to a new row or another document – exactly as in NV1. If the typing input you refer to is causing the row to change (e.g. arrow up or down) then the old row is committed. This can take some time (more on performance below). If the keystrokes you are typing are in a description column and you experience an annoying delay, we would like to investigate this further with you.
NV2 performance will receive constant attention, and will only improve. NV1 is “the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy”, or so our programmers like to joke. NV1 is written in assembler, it has a file system with fixed length records (e.g. 10 character account name limit), no detail on total accounts (just monthy and yearly summaries), single user access, a handful of hardwired windows, and so on.
NV2 is written in C++ and Tcl. Tcl provides a great interface for modifying and extending NV2 but it is interpreted. As time goes by we convert hardened Tcl code to C++. The NV2 file system has variable length records (e.g. no limit to the length of any value). NV2 maintains full posting history for all total accounts (e.g. weekly or daily reporting, monthly reporting prior to the last fiscal year, etc.). Most important of all, it is multiuser and significant new performance issues arise.
Every new release of NV2 will be, in some way, faster than the prior release.

While it is true you cannot sort all columns (like you can in Excel) NV2 does provide sorting on columns that we thought were the most useful. Excel is a spreadsheet not an accounting program and vice versa for NV2. Creating indexes for each column would make an NV2 set of books grow enormously larger than they currently are.
In regards to adding edit assists (F3) to description and reference columns, what would you expect to see if an edit assist was available?
In NV2 you can export am NV2 document to Excel by selecting print all (or block) as well as print checks (also Pay Account in NewViews Accounts Accounts Payable). When the printing window appears, select your destination (file, printer, display) and click Print or continue to have your output appear in the destination of your choosing.
The menu that is displayed when your right mouse click does display all of the relevant options of where you are in the books. If the menu is too large for your liking you can hold your control key down and scroll with your mouse wheel to make the menu smaller or larger. The same is true for your NV2 documents. The NewViews menu (right mouse click) choices show the same choices as the Microsoft menu choices at the top of your books.
Each window in your NV2 books has a button on the right hand side of the window title which you can click to restore or maximize. If the window is maximized, the button appears as two small squares (exactly the same behaviour as a Microsoft Window). If minimied, the button appears as a single large square (same as a Microsoft Window).
In regards to the NV2 documentation which is constantly being updated and improved. Send me an email at schapple@qwpage.com in regards to improvements you think are appropriate.
In response to DGlezos posting of June 29, 2005.
The custom analysis view of all NV2 documents will updated in version 2.03 with most of the features of the NV1 analysis view and will be complete in version 2.04.
In NV1, the procedures EXP123 and REPORT (to name two) exported the analysis view data to a spreadsheet program like Excel using characters. NV2 does the same. NV1 exported to a file which then had to be imported into the spreadsheet program and then formatted. NV2 displays the information in Excel without the importing/formatting steps.
If anyone has any suggestions on how the manual can be improved, please submit your suggestions to schapple@qwpage.com with the subject NV2 Manual Suggestion.
Regards to All,
Martin

Version 72 of the NVEXPORT library does create an export file (NV1_NV2). Disregard the information about it being a test version.
The ATYPE procedure comes with the NVEXPORT library which can be downloaded at http://www.qwpage.com by clicking on NV2 for Windows, Converting from NV1. Further down on this page is a link to download the NVEXPORT library.
Instructions on saving the NVEXPORT download and installing it in your NV1 books are below the NVEXPORT download link.
