Hi, Folks!!!I am 10 days into A5v6 and am very excited by most of what I have seen so far. I have been known online as A4BEST for over 10 years now and only time will tell if I have to change my moniker.
A little backround is I developed the A4 app that has been running a 6Mil/year company since 1993. Since 1995 not 1 problem requireing a call to Alpha for support. Not a single day down for any problems. Yeah it required a few index updates along the way but by and large BULLETPROOF. Can't say that about Peachtree that is doing the accounting!
I already have about a hundred ????????? , But I will start with 2. 1st one easy I hope 2nd one going to require some thought.
1} L. mask. Does it work or not? I have searched and found some feed back on this but the ?, is it a bug or not, is not answered. Mid Inital field C 2 , type in a m and it converts it to M but no period after. I can see a couple of work arounds, But like a few others have expressed I am frustrated when things do not work as they are supposed to.
answers yes it does not work get over it and move on
no I have a problem that might be solved with
more info
2)Here's the Will this work?
What I want to do: My company is a manufacturer of very high precision aluminum extrusion. Die drawings are one of the most necessasary documents to be automated. I want to create a field containing the die # (C 10). On any form I put this field on I want to make a button to place next to it that when "clicked" will find the dwg and display it on screen then have an option to print it if required.
How hard is this going to be to do?
What type of file type must the dwgs be "stored" as for A5 to access them?(all options please)
Not looking for code (YET) just your thoughts on what I should keep in mind going about this.
Ok I said just 2 and I see a lot more "?" than 2, sorry.
I want to thank all of you supporting this board. I can see that I will be here a lot and hopefully one day able to contribute answers instead of questions.
