Don't mean to jump in to late, but do you have a script trigger plugin on the other computer?

Its a start. http://www.udel.edu/genacct/object.html

James, To update from your laptop you would need a serial # for each record, then you could Import records from the laptop by using a match field and then add remaining records. I know this is a simplistic approach, but depending on your situation it might work fine. Dean

DT, You could try this. Show All Records Go to Record/Request/Page [Last] // I set a global field with the serial number. (or you can use a variable) Set Next Serial Value [your serial;00 & global or variable +1] Commit Records Hope it helps. Dean

I just set up a mac mini as a test server and so far everything seems good.

When you convert you need to type in the password as the user and the password.

Just a quick thought. How about: IsEmpty(yourfield) set fill color to your background color set text color to your background color Then if the field has a value it would show up. Hope that gives you something to work with. Dean

I have a field price_per_pound. (total_revenue) divided by (total_weight) this gives me the price per pound. However in a subsummary preview it does nor calculate correctly. I have 3 other totals that work fine. Any ideas? I used GetSummary and it seems to work right. Thanks to all that looked at this post.

:o Man is my face red. I should have ran a DDR before I posted this. Seems the field in question was used by an old script calling an external function. The script does not get used alot so thats why the data was so random.

I have a weird situation going on with a text field. I have contractors name, address etc., if the remit to is different I have a set of remit to fields. If the remit to is the same as the contactors name, address etc., I have a script that sets the information in the remit to fields. The problem I have is the remit to zip code field changes to a question mark sometimes but not always. Has anyone has a similar thing happen?

Maria, I added a field with Lee's calc. Just change visit date and it will change the year month and day. Hope this helps you get an idea how it works. Dean

Update on my problem: It seems to be a relationship issue. For years I have been getting CONTRACTOR DED RATE from a Company Information file, now with 8.5 it seems like I need to have the rate in the same file,

Has anyone experienced odd behaviors with 8.5 Advanced. I have a calc that has been through versions 3 to 8.0v3 and it has always worked right, now with 8.5 I get an incorrect result. If I open the same database with 8.0v3 I get the correct result. Here is the calc: Round(Round(Round(KENTUCKY FUEL USE BY TRK;0) * TAX RATES::KY TAX RATE;2) * CONTRACTOR DED RATE;2) + Round(Round(Round(KENTUCKY FUEL USE BY TRK;0) * TAX RATES::KY SUR CHG RATE;2) * CONTRACTOR DED RATE;2) + Round(Round(Round(GetSummary(TOTAL KENTUCKY MILES;TRUCK);0) * TAX RATES::KY MILE TAX RATE;2) * CONTRACTOR DED RATE;2) - Round(Round(GetSummary(TOTAL KENTUCKY FUEL;TRUCK);0)* TAX RATES::KY TAX RATE;2) Any feedback would be appreciated.
