Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    complete uninstall of A5V10

    Ok this is kind of ridiculous but...

    my a5v10 is not allowing me to preview components, not remembering the publishing setup and many other bit and pieces. So I decided to uninstall and install afresh. I removed A5, removed the directory, rebooted and installed again. No joy, everything is the same as before.

    Installed A5 on another PC and all is ok so it is not a5.

    Is there a way of completely removing A5 without reformatting the PC?

    Thanks

    Try to go back to an earlier restore point of Windows.

      - Make sure you have a copy of your registration number.
      - Make sure you have the original installation file or the link to download it.

      Do as you did before: Uninstall A5 then completely remove the folder.

      Then go into the registry and delete the following key:
      HKey_current_user\software\Alpha Software\Alpha Five 10.0

      (Just don't mess up anything else in your registry!)

      Reinstall A5.

          which os are you using?
          uninstall v10
          then, if you're using windows 7, go to
          c:\users\your user name\AppData\Roaming

          remove the relevant alpha software folder.
          reboot and then reinstall.

          if you're using xp:

          \Documents and Settings\your user name\Application Data

          remove the relevant alpha software folder.
          reboot and then reinstall.

            Would be nice to see Lenny commenting on this. I like to be in control too & being able to produce 100% clean machines.

              all i know is that when the toolbar buttons are disabled (when previewing a report and trying to create a pdf, for example), deleting this folder has always solved my problems.

              it's happened several times on different operating systems and with different versions of alpha.
