HI,
Second topic all to do with pmdx file.
Is it possible to embed a variable in a pmdx
I have a pmdx held on my desktop, depending on which computer I use this pmdx is it possible for it to say 'this pc uses drive: and folder Y based around the computer name?
Hope that makes sense.

HI I have a pmdx which contains lots of links. It's basically a quick access to assorted docs and pmdx and graphics files. I use the same MainList.pmdx on two or three different computers. However there are one or two changes I have to make to the file depending on which system it is on. The changes...

HI Sven, Iv'e sorted it.... Went into the initialising file where I have set the file to open using the Properties|shortcut ... Target = "C:\Program Files (x86)\SoftMaker Office 2018\" "C:\KevinFiles .pmdx" Changed the Properties|Compatibility Change settings for all users. Privi...

Hi Sven, Thanks for the reply. OK a bit more explanation: I have a file called MyLibrary.pmdx on the C: drive of the laptop, this has a series of hyperlinks to the actual files. Its one of these files which has the problem this subject started with. On the main PC is another file called KevinFiles.p...

Hi, For last ten days whenever I go to open a file it always gives me a box as below... (?) The document C:xxxxx.pmdx is in use or write protected. Do you want to open it read-only? Yes or No The file xxxxx.pmdx is a page where I have a list of all my common documents for record keeping. Using filen...

1. Are there backups of the dbf's either used by or created by, also where are they stored? There are no automatic backups of the .dbf files. Do you think there should be a backup of the database, just for completeness???? Especially as you can actually create a database within the software???

1. Are there backups of the dbf's either used by or created by, also where are they stored? 2. menu's for database confusing and misleading. example ; the database tab... left side first button is..

HI A quick review as the problem is still there.... W 7 PC TextMaker, Mailings, Database 1.

Hi Sven

Version 920 32bit on both W10 and W7 PC's

Problem is still as described and records are missing..I have to tick a pair of records to get second one to print.

Hi Sven 1. Are there backups of the dbf's made and where are they? 2. Just had instance of appending a new record to one of the 'strange' databases. I lost the whole database. As a side note my NAS also decided I had deleted it and deleted the copy. 3. I also find some of the menu's for database con...

HI Sven, Hopefully you got the test database I forwarded yesterday. Observation: I sorted the database so that the first record under name became the last record. ten records were in England and one in Wales. Once that became the 11th record, printing no longer worked Re - sort the country and print...

Hi Sven,
Would the database be visible to the forum on only the development team?

Hi all,
Well obviously no one has had time to check it out and let me know. Or it's not happening to anyone else.
I have now exported/imported from Thunderbird 8 different address books.
I am still getting the same problem, all is fine on the W7 but not on the W10.

ANYONE???? IDEAS???
