    View only access

    I want to preserve the data of a company and still allow users "view only" access. In other words, they need to see the data, run the reports but not be able to manipulate any of the data in any way. This is a company that is no longer to be used but the historical data needs to be visible for...

    OE Order Confusion

    I have discovered an anomaly that is partially known but have never seen it used (abused) in this way. This is more of a comment than a question but maybe somebody has seen similar and knows why it did what it did. A customer called yesterday about an invoice they received. The billing info...

    Crystal 7 on W2K3TS

    Does anybody access Crystal 7 from W2K3SP1 Terminal Server? Our Macola 7.6.100a/Crystal 7 run on W2K servers but are accessed by users from the W2K3TS. Macola & CR7 we set up on the Terminal Servers per the normal Macola instructions. Macola users have no issues and so far, nor do queries from...

    Users can't change printer in some Crystal reports

    We have moved to W2K3 terminal servers but our Progression 7.6.100 SQL Macola and Crystal 7 software remains on W2K servers. Users all log on through a terminal Server session (no workstations, thinclients only). On some reports, when the user tries to change the printer to something else, they...

    Phaser 8550, Adobe, W2K and BSOD

    Has anyone had any issues with the 8550 dll causing a W2K Terminal server to crash when printing multiple PDF documents through the Adobe reader (ver 7.0.8)? At least one user can do it all the time. Others so far have not. The memory dump is pointing to both of these products. Switch the...

    Desktop Folder Restricted by GPO

    I have a W2K Terminal Server and a W23K TS. The AD is on another W2K server. I placed a shortcut to a folder in the desktop folder in the All User directory on each TS. Inside that folder is a collection of internet short cuts that are used corporate wide. In our NT Terminal Server, this...

    Windows 2003 R2

    Has anybody tried this version with Macaola?

    User login name

    When users go to logon, the last username is usually displayed in the Macola login screen. We are Terminal Server based, so that means it is usually their login name. For some reason, everybody's login name is now showing "Supervisor" instead. This only applies to those logging in to the W2K...

    Dupicate Tasks Check Box

    I came across the Macola article 00.658.991 about this switch in preferences. This might be useable for users that have multiple OE and IM windows open. Any comments about this option? Does it work in a Terminal Server environment of Macola 7.6 and W2K?

    Error 179

    Following thread639-568428, I am also having this issue as we move to 2 new TS servers that are currently W2K. These will go to W23K once the rest of the application servers are upgraded. We are starting to get these errors now. Does anybody have an update? One of the suggested fixes is...

    Lost Sale Codes

    Is there a way to use this feature with all OE type's and not just when you cancel a quote?

    Active Directory on App server

    We are upgrading our network from NT to 2000 to 2003. In this first step, we will be adding two new W2K Terminal Servers to the domain to replace a tired NT WTS based one. We can’t go straight to 2003 so we will move all the NT servers (over time) to 2000 before moving/upgrading them all to...

    Stop loss prevention

    As we all know (or should), that Macola allows OE & PO numbers to be used, printed, voided and reused. This allows product to leave without a real trace. Proper shipping procedures aside, this action requires collusion between one or more employees to be effective. The Macola audit report is...

    Locked File Search & Fix

    We use 7.6.100a and MS SQL. Occasionally we get the dreaded "Locked File" error message on everyone's screen and then everything comes to screeching halt. I say screeching because that is all I can here from the users, screeching. In betrive, it was easy to locate a locked file and deal with...

    MRP Regen Error

    This happens from time to time due to users ungracefully exiting the process. The Macola article, 12.489.144 says to reinitialize the MRCTLFIL file to fix it. But all that is wrong is the Regen_In_Proc field is set to Y instead of N. Does setting this manually to N cause any problems...

    PO line items some how marked to be cancelled

    A PO was created via OE to PO generation. Nothing special about the order, this is something we use all the time. Printed the PO and everything appears correct. Later, same user goes in to PO to correct a cost on a non stocked item and discovers the line has been marked for deletion. User then...

    Retired Phaser 850

    Ours gave up (printhead) and has now been replaced with an Phaser 8550. What a difference! But the 850 is too heavy to remain a door stop, so I must find an alternate use for it. Besides an upcoming computer recycle day, any others uses for this? Parts, e-Bay? Looking for suggestions.

    New Platform

    I was just told to trash the planned Microsoft Server upgrade and find something else to run the network with. So, what kind of mess am I in when it comes to Macola? I don't think they are ready to replace it so it will have to stay on its MS servers and operate across a non MS network. That...

    Remove Vendor Accounts

    After searching the Macola website and trying what they suggested, I still can't purge some vendor accounts. Actually, quite a few. The Macola error says files are still open but none of the Macola reports will show what. I have explored the data through Crystal and SQL query and cannot see...

    Not all users get results

    I have a report that uses running totals and not much else. The report runs fine for me but I have found that 2 of 3 users I tested get no data returned when they run the report. I have checked all the users crystal directories and they all match. Permissions are all correct. Other reports run...
