[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 30 April 2008]I have a question about interacting with MS Word after reviewing information in the forums. It seems that most of the examples deal with mail merges and seem a little cumbersome and complicated. I am interacting with Word right now, but as this programming was done several years ago when our understanding of working with Active X controls was very limited, we chose to export the information into a text file and then call a VB program to open word and fill in bookmarks from the text file. It works OK.But now, I need to do the same thing on a bigger basis. It is still not what I think of as a "mail merge" because I am only dealing with one document at a time. The customer will have designed a quote form in Word. The will have boxes, different colors, different fonts, etc. I will have no control over the design or placement of data. I just need to export the data a

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 03 May 2008]I am setting up and testing our application using the web runtime. At this point I am only running on my own machine and am not using AcuServer. The application runs in the browser but I cannot seem to get access to my data files. I get the error "User does not have appropriate access permissions to the file" when I try to open the first file. I have added the path to the AcuAuth.txt file even though I am not using AcuServer and I have checked permissions for all users. If I run the application from AcuBench I have no problem, it is just in the browser that I get the error.Thanks for any help you can provide!

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 30 April 2008]I have a question about the 8.0 runtime. We are having issues with sluggish and slow response times. Our customers are complaining because they have upgraded from the 7.02 runtime because of Vista and now the programs are running slower. One example is that our Inventory Inquiry program under 7.02 loads immediately. Under 8.0, it takes 10 seconds to completely open the window and display the screen. We have the runtime installed on the server and are accessing it through mapped drives. But, we installed it locally and had the same result. We are not using thin clients.We are not using AcuServer. Due to expense and some of our customers are really small, we are not using it. But, still... there is a big difference in the amount of time taken to open a window and display a screen between the two runtimes.The PC's are Vista.One other

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 02 April 2008]Hi,We use a modified version of the C$SOCKET emailer sample that was posted on here some time ago.This program was working well until recently.V7.2.0 and V8.0Basically all works perfectly OK until the command "DATA" is sent via C$SOCKET.This goes through OK, and then the program tried to get response messages back from the server.It hangs immegiately the read response is issued.But................................................ only in fat client (wrun32)If I run the exact same program using thin client (acuthin) on either a windows runtime or a unix runtime the code continues on as normal.I can also telnet to the exchange server port and manually type the commands in - thats also working too.Basically I don't know what else to look for.The guy that looks after the exchange server did so

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 14 April 2008]I need to run a program in the background like a service. Does anybody know how to do this? This is on Windows platforms and the user needs to be able to start the program so it runs in the background, then when they log off, it needs to keep running. This is a server type process that communicates with handheld devices that needs to remain running even though users log on and off on the server PC. They also need to be able to interact with this process in that they need to be able to stop it and be able to re-start it and log back off, etc...Any Iteas???

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 10 April 2008]I have a problem for which I amy trying to find a solution relating to programs freezing during execution.Perhaps this version is a bit old - we are currently using Verion 5.2.1 of AcuCobol to run our programs.All the programs have been compiled using the same compiler options.Currently, the PCs in question run Windows XP Professional.Every month we have to produce statements for our customers. Prior to doing a Production run, we do a dummy run using a copy of the files backed up the previous night following the close of business.When I run the programs on my PC, the jobs complete with no problems. Admittedly, on my system, I tend to run a single AcuCobol program as opposed to running a multiple number of programs as the users.When run on the user PC, the mere act of swapping from one task to another causes the program to freeze.

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 03 April 2008]Is there any way to run the Generate function from the command line? I am working on a macro for my editor that numbers/renumbers COBOL paragraphs. This works fine for non-screen programs, but has some issues with screen programs. Specifically, I either have to not renumber any paragraph that is PERFORMed from event code, or modify the event code. Also, I can't renumber the event paragraphs unless I'm also prepared to copy/paste them back in to the event editor, and that has some obvious problems. What I'd ideally like to do is renumber the entire program including events, then edit the .PSF file (and the .EVT) to reference the newly-renumbered paragraph names. Then, I'd like to regenerate the program. I think I know how to do all of those things except for regeneration. Any help?Bill Diener
