Bubba 2/9/03 1:41 PM you thinking?
woozle 2/9/03 1:42 PM You get the message "cannot find package print
queue" when you load the report?
Bubba 2/9/03 1:42 PM y
woozle 2/9/03 1:43 PM is that really exactly what it says? That's
not an error message I recognize.
woozle 2/9/03 1:43 PM Is there any punctuation?
Bubba 2/9/03 1:43 PM unchecked, print packages, packing lists to go
inside pkg
Bubba 2/9/03 1:44 PM and I get a dialog box that says
Bubba 2/9/03 1:45 PM The Microsoft Jet Database engine cannot find
the input table or query 'Print Packages
Queue'. Make sure it exists and that its name
is spelled correctly.
woozle 2/9/03 1:45 PM Ah.
woozle 2/9/03 1:45 PM Are you sure you're running the new .app?
Bubba 2/9/03 1:46 PM just unzipped it and did a yes to all when it
asked if I wanted it to overwrite

woozle 2/9/03 1:47 PM Ah. You should have 1.7, cuz that's what I
uploaded.
woozle 2/9/03 1:47 PM Where are you unzipping it to?
Bubba 2/9/03 1:47 PM usual
woozle 2/9/03 1:47 PM How are you running it? A shortcut on the
desktop?
Bubba 2/9/03 1:48 PM shortcut to store app data folder and then dbl
clk on orders.app.zip
Bubba 2/9/03 1:48 PM extract to where it goes
woozle 2/9/03 1:48 PM How are you running orders.app.mdb after you

Bubba 2/9/03 1:49 PM desktop shortcut
Bubba 2/9/03 1:49 PM just like always
woozle 2/9/03 1:49 PM what's the path used by the shortcut?

file you unzipped?

woozle 2/9/03 1:51 PM it needs to go in
c:\etc\aps\shared\store\orders.app.mdb
Bubba 2/9/03 1:51 PM or change the path of the shortcut?
woozle 2/9/03 1:51 PM It doesn't belong in appdata
woozle 2/9/03 1:52 PM that's only for .data.mdb files
woozle 2/9/03 1:52 PM You can just move it with Exploder
woozle 2/9/03 1:52 PM Drag it from one folder to the other
Bubba 2/9/03 1:52 PM which to which
Bubba 2/9/03 1:52 PM C:\My Documents\appdata\store should have what
in it?

woozle 2/9/03 1:53 PM Move c:\my
documents\appdata\store\orders.app.mdb to
c:\etc\aps\shared\store\orders.app.mdb
(overwrite the old one)
woozle 2/9/03 1:53 PM There shouldn't be any .app.mdb files in
appdata\store
Bubba 2/9/03 1:55 PM done
woozle 2/9/03 1:55 PM Now it should work.
