I created a push button in Item Master Maintenance - works great. Go to Customer Master Maintenance, add a push button, and when I save it and display it - no push button. If I start Screen Designer - it's still there. Have double checked it, "Hide" is not enabled. ??????

Screen designer - again

Right click on a gray area of the screen in question and make sure you are not using the default screenset.
Also, screens are USER SPECIFIC. If user A has a custom screen you must copy that screen to user B or the user will never see it.
Please feel free to cal or email for more details.

Don, I appreciate all your help- yes, I am using the default screen set, I didn't realize this is a no -no. I am not working with a lot of documentation here. Are you saying that I should copy the screen set somehow ? Is it just a question of copying to a dummy user or do I have to load it somehow. BTW, if you ever make to Houston, look me up and I'll buy you a Texas sized steak.

Kirk,
Actually I am coming to Houston next week - for all 5 days - to do Crystal Reports training. If you want to get together I can show you a few Macola tricks as well.
To copy a screenset to a user, you must first modify an existing screenset. When you right click on the gray area while in design mode, you will get the screenset name. Write it down.
Then exit screen designer, and go to System Manager, Maintain, Designer. Enter the package ID, the screenset ID which you wrote down, and the user that this screenset has been modified for. Then hit the copy button, and in the user ID field replace it with the user you want to have the modified screenset. You will have to do this for every user you want to have the modifed screen.
After the user has the modified screen, they can toggle back and forth between the modified screen and the default screen by right clicking on any gray area of the screen and selecting "swithc to default" or "switch to custom". That ability can be disabled with a setting in the macola7.ini or macola7.cfg file, I believe. Let me know if you need more info, and let me know where I need to meet you for that steak.

Kirk,
Please email me, we have found some situations where there are porblems in what you are trying to do.
Also, you CAN disable a user from toggling back and forth between custom and default screens, you must disable the "Customize Screenset" option from the file menu of the user in question in Visual Menu Builder. Software Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine

Don, I will be in Dallas Tue, Wed and Thur next week. I will be in Houston Mon and Fri and at home there during the weekends. Call my office at 281-990-6070 when you get in town and I will show you why Houston has more fat people the any other town on the planet.
I didn't know if Scott's question was directed to me or Don, but I looked up error 305 in the Btrieve manual and 305 isn't listed, which means you will probably need to call Mac tech support, since error code numbers in that range are usually reserved for the application vendor. Don, I think he means he is running P-SQL 7 and his Btrieve file version is 6.15, or at least I hope he does. Scott, your not running two different database engines at the same time, both serving Macola? Where is your db engine located and what is the network OS? Don is right - more detail is needed on what and how you did the database upgrade.
BTW ver 7 sucks, especially if you are going to try to use what they claim is ODBC. PSQL 2000, on the otherhand, is the first decent software Pervasive has put out in years. I don't know why you went to ver 7 when it is already big time obsolete.
