• Cannot locate Products.nsf

    By Benoit Dubuc 2 decades ago

    I get the following a lot:



    error 10006: Products database not found: VIC\products.nsf on line 43



    I didn't see any place to specify this database in the DB profile document and that file was not included in the download.



    Although not critical as it moves on anyway, this is a bit annoying.



    Otherwise, this is a very decent CRM.

    • Products and Services databases are really the Library

      By Dave Leigh 2 decades ago

      The products and services databases are the same as the Library.

      The problem here, then, is either that CratchitCommonLibrary should be referencing that, OR that the profile document should be modified. For flexibility, I'm choosing the latter.



      So, on the DbProfile form, we're adding two new rows directly under the Library; "Products" and "Services", respectively. The ProfileLibraryInstalled, ProfileLibraryName, and ProfileLibraryTitle fields, as well as the Locate hotspot, are copied into these rows, and "Library" is replaced with "Products" or "Services" as appropriate (in the hotspots' formulae, as well). All the defaults remain the same as for the Library fields.



      This allows us to replace the minimal Product and Service brochures that appear in the Library with something more substantial in the future if we choose to. This allows the flexibility of linking VIC to a Purchase Order system, Asset Management system or something similar.
