KeithB has a surprise coming...

After jibz comments, I was inspired to attempt a chm file of the user manual. 
So far I've got a couple of sections in. By the end of this long weekend, I should have a fair chunk in--I'm anxious to see what kind of size it will produce
 
My current plans are to post a preview here for comments, once the data is in. I also have to go back and update my sndb with the updates from January onwards
Then I'll add an index, then work the linking, etc.
 
By the way, HTML Help workshop is a "bear" (pain) to figure out, but pretty easy once you get the hang of it...

Authorities Form for Academic Research

Submitted by mknjlaw on 2010/05/26 12:12
I know I sound like a broken record but why cannot someone create an Authorities or Sources form like the ones in ndxnotes and notescribe which then could be related to an outline level? Trust me I could do this in a heart beat in Access but I need the outline metaphor to categorize my research results with as much granularity as possible an Access just does not do that. InfoQube, I guess, is incredibly potent but bordering on useless for academics or any one else who needs to be able to create bibilographies or otherwise give credit to authors whose work is being cited or used.

this morning the three images that were in the first post have disappeared
when I try to add an image it goes through the motions but doesnt work

How to automatically fill the item field with the "last name" and "first name" of a contact ?

Submitted by Armando on 2010/05/23 20:54
I took an excerpt from that thread Import customizations where I explain how to merge a FirstName and LastName fields into the item field (... while preventing accidental deletion of the item data when the item is not a contact... that's just a bonus, but an important one IMO).

This shouldn't take you more than 5-10 min.

IMPORTANT & REALLY ANNOYING <solved by the boss>

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2010/05/23 19:39
 Pierre, I've reported this before.
When I'm working on my desktop, the following problem does NOT exist but when I work on my netbook, it DOES exist & it is very annoying & frustrating. 
I write a lot of articles & take a lot of notes @ mtgs in the HTML pane
When text gets to the bottom of the screen, no vertical scroll bar appears & the text doesn't move up properly.
The last line of text is half hidden so it's hard to keep track of where I am, what I'm writing & what I'm thinking.
I have to add several carriage returns to add space below the last line so I can continue working.
 
This is really annoying as it breaks my whole train of thought while I futz around with this.
 
Please, please fix it soon.
 
Thank you.
 
Your annoyed but loyal fan.

(IMPORTANT) Copy / Paste (XML) seems to be broken.

I'm trying to copy paste templates in my DB, and works completely ramdomly.
 
1- Copy a few fairly deep trees of items
2- Paste them under another parent (as NEW items)
 
What happens ?
Here, only a few get pasted.
 
I thought it was my clipboard manager, but it's not.
 
 
Can anybody confirm ? Thanks.
