EasyMenu
 
EasyMenu 3.00 is the runtime engine and prerequisite for all software products that we develop and distribute. This product installs and runs all of our custom business software applications. After installing this product, you then install the software application that is shipped or downloaded with this package from within EasyMenu 3.00.
 
Note: assumes that EasyMenu and ProFrame I has already been installed... learn more
 
 
Menu Options:

  • ProFrame I, select this to start ProFrame I

  • Clear Network Flags, use this to clear network flags.. learn more

  • Modify Report Forms, this option allows you to modify report forms.. learn more

  • Install Patch, use this when installing updates.. learn more

  • Setup, setup Client options.. learn more
 
Clear Network Flags
   Because ProFrame is a multi-user program, (network compatible) the system will need to lock records and files during operation. This is to keep two or more users from being able to EDIT records or files at the same time. Locks are referred to as "Network Flags". During normal operations these "Network Flags" are maintained by the system, BUT sometimes a computer may shut down without warning or needs be re-booted for what ever reason.. In this case, if ProFrame was running at the time of the re-boot, that computer has most likely left "Network Flags" locked. This option allows you to clear them. Warning.. make sure no other users are working in ProFrame if you select Clear All Flags. It's okay to run options Clear Passwords and Clear Customers with others working in ProFrame.

  • Select Clear Network Flags

  • Select the Company and Load.

  • Select Clear All Flags to clear all network flags, passwords and customers. Warning.. make sure no other users are working in ProFrame if you select this option.

  • Select Clear Passwords to only clear password flags. (others can be working in ProFrame)

  • Select Clear Customers to only clear customers flags. (others can be working in ProFrame)
 
Modify Report Forms
  The most common reason to modify a report form is to associate it to your printer so it will take on the printer properties. All reports in ProFrame are designed and developed on a HP Laserjet 1200 Series laser printer. They will work on most laser and inkjet printers, but for some they do not. This is especially true when trying to display a report. This also allows you to customize any report forms and especially the Work Order, Invoice and Statement forms.
Notes:
  • If you do not see this option on the EasyBee Software Application Menu, then run Setup and be sure to turn that option on.
  • If on a Network, all users should log off of ProFrame, failure to do this could cause errors.
  • On some computers it is necessary to Exit and Re-Start EasyMenu before selecting Modify Report, this insures that all Report Designer options are made available.
  • This is a Destructive program and should only be available to experienced FoxPro Users.
  • When in doubt, "Save As" to a unique name before making changes so you can recover the original form.
Starting:

  • Select Modify Report Forms

  • Password is:
    .. 12123R for Report Forms, press ENTER key
    .. 12123L for Labels, press ENTER key

  • Most Report Forms has a Report NUMBER located on it, this tells what Form it is.

  • Example: "Report 3" located on the Statement Form = atrpt03.frx  See Basic Chart

  • Select the FORM or LABEL you wish to Edit and select OPEN
How To Associate a Form to your Printer:
The most common reason to Modify Reports is to associate it to your printer.
.. From the Report Designer Window

  • Select FILE/PAGE SETUP

  • Select PRINT SETUP

  • Select your Printer and Setup properties and select OK

  • Select OK from the Page Setup Window

  • Select FILE/SAVE
To Exit

  • Click the X to Close the Report Designer Window

  • OR Select FILE/EXIT.
To ADD Fields to A Report:
Before you can add new fields to any report form you must know what file is used to produce this report. On the EasyBee Software Installation CD you can find a MS 2000 Excel spreadsheet called x:\EasyBee\Doc\ProFrame.xls that contains the major file structures and the field names used in this system. Use this to determine what file this would be and what fields are available for this report. Because this is a runtime version of this report writer it has limited functions, but most can be overcome by using the Copy/Paste function to copy one field to another and then modify the copy to change the field name.
 
To Move Fields Around:
Click and Drag any field where you need it.
 
To Delete a Field:
Click that field to highlight it and select the Edit/Delete pull down or press the Delete key on your keyboard.
 
To Save Changes
Select File/Save pull down to save changes.
