Ahhhhh! SW office Pro Sp3.0 Pdmworks Sp 3.1 Xp Pro sp2 MS Office 2000 SW Office pro, newly installed on one machine, (by VAR), old install on another machine. collaboration setting selected on both machines. The SW problems happen, logged in to the vaults or not. The Pdmworks problems happen, when either the localhost vault or the server vault is used.
SW
1, Edit sheet format , save file, ok. Save sheet format, full SW crash! Restart SW, no recovery widow. New drawing, sheet format has been saved with all edits, Hmmm???
2, Assembly loads fine, but when reloading, ( to remove read only), SW crashes.
Pdmworks.
1, Edit part, Ctrl Q, save part, check into vault. SW explorer widow, not showing part is in or equal to vault, refresh vault and sw explorer windows, sw explorer still not showing part is in or equal to vault. I look in vault, the part is there!
2, RMB on any part, assembly or drawing in SW explorer window, select, "find in vault", 0 matches found. even on the grey equals vault symbol, documents????
3, Checked in assembly to wrong project, moved to the correct project, assembly disappeared! Lucky I don't have delete local copies selected!
4, SW task scheduler, Pdmworks printing, fails to work, (SW task scheduler, normal printing works fine), Login failure, even though I have to login to get the project into SW task scheduler Pdmworks printing. Goes through the motions in the temp folder, then fails. Log file, shows, login failure.
Total productivity this week, 5 out of 27 hours! Monday was a Bank holiday, so Tuesday start.
Var coming Friday, hopefully to fix it, But just to add insult , they have just sent an invoice, lol Guess what the response will be, if it is not fixed, lol, (Clue:-has something to do with, "go forth and multiply"), :-))))
Must give the support manager, (Brendon), his due, though, he did stay to
8pm on Thursday last week, good man. Even though he had a 4 hour drive home, hope his wife and nippers forgave him!
Chris Horn, I know you will read this, WHERE IS MY DEMO DISC???? any chance by Xmas?sigh!
I got moaned at, for publicly chastising my VAR, (by some, (I believe), liberal, do gooder), so here is a compliment. Ntcadcam have really pulled their socks up and are being very helpful. Their support receptionist is always cheerful, not many women like that, that I know of, lol Praise where it is due, I say! :-)
Now please fix my SW, or else!
