Hi,
I've been using Maximizer 97is for several years now, it's invaluable, both for my own use and for clients. Now I've got a really weird problem.
SYMPTOMS: If I add an alphanumeric UDF to a record, I am duly prompted for a value, but then nothing turns up in the list of UDFs. I had thought it was a corrupted DB - but I scrubbed Max97 completely from the box, removing registry keys also, rebooted, and installed a Max6.0 trial version. I get exactly the same behaviour on the "My Address Book" DB!
I can add existing "table" UDFs, which have already been defined -- e.g. I can "Add UDF" and select "Industry" and pick an existing value -- but I cannot create new table-based UDFs: I create the initial UDF, but cannot add Items to it.
The very similar dialog that appears for "Edit List" operations behaves in the same way. I (Max 6, "My Address Book" DB) create Contact for New Company, drop down the Salutation box and choose Edit List, Type "Sq." into the dialog and press OK -- and Sq is not added to the list.
When creating a New Address Book folder, then choosing Open Address Book Folder, I get a list with some blank entries in. These can be selected, Properties show that the directory is correct, but they have no description.
POSSIBLE CULPRITS: TAS Books SBE (accounting s/w) is on the box (not on previous machines where Max97 has been fine) and also uses Btrieve, though a much earlier version. Is anyone else successfully using Max6/97 with TAS?
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
System is a Win2k SP1 Athlon 1GHz with 512Mb RAM.
Thanks,
Thomas.
