0708 - Summary/Objective
0709 -
070901 - Follow up ref SDS 8 0000.
070902 -
070903 - Wayne is still having a problem with Contacts, so I sent a complete
070904 - program replacement, via ref DIT 1, with links to this record that has
070905 - instructions.
070906 -
070907 - Wayne sent the contact record that is failing. Examination indicates
070908 - the problem is the code is looking for an Internet address line to
070909 - support the new feature of Internet "Knowledge Space." The line is
070910 - missing. I set an action item to revise the code, and sent submitted
070911 - via ref DIT 2 a corrected Contact record to try.

071301 - SDS Subject Report Failed on Wayne's New Computer
071302 -
071303 - Follow up ref SDS 5 2244, ref SDS 4 9200.
071304 -
071305 - Subject report is not working
071306 -
071307 - We got subjects to work evidently by replacing the code.
071308 -
071309 -
071310 -
071311 - SDS Contacts are Failing on Wayne's New Computer
071312 -
071313 - Contacts not working
071314 -
071315 - We got Contacts to load into an SDS record.
071316 -
071317 - It is not loading Doc Log fields to write a letter.
071318 -
071319 - We stepped through the code and found that he does not seem to
071320 - have the current code. We got to the point where the code should
071321 - load the letterhead into the letterhead macro, and his code
071322 - executed and "ecur 31" which seems to be different from what my
071323 - code is doing.
071324 -
071325 - Therefore decided to send him another update that, again, sends the
071326 - entire program.
071327 -
071328 - The program update was sent on 980803. ref SDS 8 1635
071329 -
071330 -
071331 - ..
071332 - Submitted SDS Update with link to Explanation of Improvements
071333 -
071334 - Follow up ref SDS 8 1635.
071335 -
071336 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0000 that links to the web site with code that
071337 - replaces his existing program, as follows...
071338 -
071339 - cs.zip c: 01 04
071340 - c: sd 01
071341 - c: sd 03
071342 - c: 00 10 *.asm
071343 -
071344 - hs.zip h: sd 04
071345 - h: sd 05 (only from 980101)
071346 -
071347 - I am including the Medit assembly language code, in case we need to
071348 - do some low-level testing, which will require compiling the
071349 - program.
071350 -
071351 - Basic instructions are in the record for 980627. ref SDS 7 9774
071352 -
071353 - Wayne, please do the following:
071354 -
071355 - 1. Copy your current sd 03 directory to a blank directory.
071356 -
071357 - I use c: 09 and c: 10 for this purpose. They are not
071358 - assigned to anything, so they can be used for holding stuff
071359 - temporarily.
071360 -
071361 - Make sure the directory is empty, before copying to it.
071362 -
071363 - So you can enter a command like:
071364 -
071365 - C:\copy c:\sd\03 c:\10
071366 -
071367 - 2. After coping c: sd 03 to an empty directory, empty c: sd 03,
071368 - as follows:
071369 -
071370 - C:\del c:\sd\03
071371 -
071372 - 3. Do the same for c: sd 01, put it in an empty directory, and
071373 - then empty it.
071374 -
071375 - C:\copy c:\sd\01 c:\09
071376 - C:\del c:\sd\01
071377 -
071378 - 3. Install the SDS update normally.
071379 -
071380 - These steps should conform your SDS installation to mine.
071381 -
071382 - Test the program. Make sure your Contacts, Subjects are working.
071383 -
071384 - After you are satisfied everything is working, delete the old stuff
071385 - in c: 09 and c: 10.
071386 -
071387 - We can edit the Group Manager file so your start up screen has only
071388 - your name.

0716 - 1457 received email from Wayne
0717 -
071701 - He is still having snags.
071702 -
071703 - I asked him to submit his Contact record that is failing.
071704 -

0722 -
0723 -
0724 - 2324 examined Wayne's Contact record
0725 -
072501 - ..
072502 - Examination Indicates Crash Due to Missing Internet Address Line
072503 -
072504 - I saved my contact for Wayne, and loaded the one he sent. I get the
072505 - same error he is getting.
072506 -
072507 - I switched my original Contact record back.
072508 -
072509 - I think the problem is that the code wants an Internet address line
072510 - for Wayne, because he is doing a "From" operation, and so the code
072511 - wants to fill out the letterhead macro that supports Internet return
072512 - address feature.
072513 -
072514 - I need to fix the code so it is forgiving if this does not exist.
072515 -
072516 - ..
072517 -
072518 - On an interim basis, will send Wayne my contact record with the people
072519 - he has that I don't have.
072520 -
072521 - He can get the revised Contact record for DNRC at...
072522 -
072523 - http://www.welchco.com/10
072524 -
072525 - I put the lawyers in the "Legal Division" section, but Wayne can move
072526 - them if necessary.
072527 -
072528 - Procedure to swap Contacts records.
072529 -
072530 - 1. Open DNRC contact record in the normal fashion, using the
072531 - menu, typing "dnr" and press Enter.
072532 -
072533 - In the Contact Summary, press F2 to open the record.
072534 -
072535 - 2. In the Contact record, place the cursor on line 1, and press F1
072536 - Alt F8.
072537 -
072538 - (Note when you open a Contact record, the cursor starts on
072539 - line 1, so you are ready to go as soon as you open the
072540 - record).
072541 -
072542 - This removes all of the lines in the existing record.
072543 -
072544 - 3. Hit the Home key to move the cursor to the Command Line and
072545 - enter...
072546 -
072547 - CMD>g ww [Home]
072548 -
072549 - This assumes you download the file I am sending you the to
072550 - directory...
072551 -
072552 - C:\SD\10
072553 -
072554 - 4. Press the F9 key just to scroll the file up a bit, and then
072555 - press F2 to save the record.
072556 -
072557 -
072558 -
072559 - ..
072560 - Analysis - May be Another Problem on Contacts Summary
072561 -
072562 - This solution addresses the initial problem Wayne reported. There
072563 - seemed to be another problem where he could at one point not open his
072564 - Contact Summary.
072565 -
072566 - This could be caused by trying to save a defective Contact record,
072567 - but what I saw of Wayne's record, it appears not to be defective.
072568 - When I saved the thing, it did not hang my system.
072569 -
072570 - I submitted the revised Contact record for DNRC back to Wayne for him
072571 - to try in the morning. He therefore does not have to bother with
072572 - sending me his record again.
072573 -
072574 - ..
072575 -
072576 - If the overall Contact system is messed up, will ask him to zip the
072577 - entire directory and send it to me, as follows...
072578 -
072579 - C>z -P -a -r hs h:\sd\09\*.* [Enter]
072580 -
072581 - ...this creates hs.zip.
072582 -
072583 - [On 980807 received this file from Wayne. ref SDS 9 0565]
072584 -
072585 - Submitted ref DIT 2 0000 linked to this record, and transferred the
