If the client has cable/dsl internet I use Remote desktop, a few I still have to use dial-up and PC Anywhere. It's hard to tell whats printing when you are remote. With this client it's useless trying to get them to describe the problem. They pay for drive time and mileage, so I usually just go ther...

Gordon: haven't tried a prior version, the printer is an hour away. They only print 3 things to that printer: 1. print screen = no problem 2. a 1 page report = no problem 3. a 5 page report = the problem. I got around it by closing the printer file and re-opening it in my top of page routine, The ne...

Tried the install CD, then the latest driver from HP's website, same results. Since it's connected via USB, most "normal" drivers don't work. The specs says it supports PCL GUI, I tried generic-text only with NWP off and nothing prints at all. Tried the HP Universal Printing PCL5 driver wi...

I'm now of the option that MAC isn't a good solution, too many hardware changes. However every PC has a unique COMPUTERNAME, maybe access to that name similar to USERNAME. Most of my clients have "roaming" employees who might signon upstairs in the morning, but downstairs in the afternoon,...

A few comments about screen size and monitor size: Monitors size is measured diagonally; therefore a widescreen monitor has less vertical real estate than a standard monitor with a 4X3 aspect ratio of the same size. You are able to display fewer rows without scrolling on a widescreen. Widescreen mon...

insert & overstrike

sometime between 4.03 and 4.18 the behavior of the insert key changed. In 4.03 if you pressed insert, BR went into insert mode, then when you exited the field and entered the next field BR changed back to overstrike. In 4.18 once insert is pressed you stay in insert until you press insert again. Thi...
