Have you managed to sort out the catalog maker?

OK gave it a quick go last night, seems to work sort of.

It only produced a page (is this how it is suppose to as it is a trial) also my images use transparent back grounds and it fills this in in black which does not look to good.

anyway it seems good but not usre if i am doing something wrong as the tables are always empty and when i change tab it tells me to select a line first ?

Cheers
Darren

oh dear, I had to download an extra bit of software to use it from the start that took ages (can't remember what it was now) but all I got was the item text, no description and no pics so I'm afraid I deleted the lot and went the long way round of printing my site to pdf manually

Sorry Bill, but it does have some problems here on my V8.5 it don't like it


dunno

very weird

Not yet, but I finally got a database file that replicates the problem (just yesterday). As soon as I finish getting updated products into a v8 site, I will be back on this.

It will be the usual thing - either something is not where I have expected it to be, or it is not there at all. I just have to identify what and programme for the eventuality.

I will be stepping through the code as 1674 items are processed to see where it falls over. at the same time, I will be doing other work on a second machine - true multi-tasking.

bloody hell Bill!

So you wrote this then?

Very clever if you did, forgive me, I am not knocking you here at all, you obviously know what you are talking about here and I WANT this software!!!

So much easier than printing the whole lot to .pdf long way round..

good luck

Multi-threading with multi-processors...

Thanks in part to a comment by Miss Bumps here http://community.actinic.com/showthr...153#post173153 on how she sets up her size/colour choices, I tracked down the cause of the 'Primting Error xx DBNull cannot be converted to string" where xx was a number representing the print line.


The trial version has been republished with this correction. Those who have the Trial currently loaded just need to launch it on their desktop, the application will find the newer version and invite them to update.

download an extra bit of software to use it from the start that took ages

That would be the .NET Framework, which downloads from the Microsoft network - thankfully that is a one off installation which enables you to use all .NET applications.
