Data Grid/Bar Chart

Q:18013 I am trying to add logic links between the tasks on the bar chart display but the system is not recognising the right mouse button clicks. What is wrong?

Q:18017 When I try and drag a bar on the display I keep picking up the % progress symbol instead. Can I do anything about this?

Q:18019 When I add a task to the bar chart display the duration given to the task by Hornet Windmill varies. Why?

Q:18020 Sometimes when editing the data grid the buttons or menu items do not work on the first click. Is something wrong?

Q:18024 I have colour coded by tasks by work type but have now been asked to produce a second version coded by task owner. Can I do this without losing the original colour coding?

Q:18028 As I use the Bar Chart display to add logic links between tasks Hornet Windmill sets different calendars for the logic delay period. Why?

Standard Reports

Q:18001 The company and project details printed in the footer area of my reports are not correct. How can I change them?

Q:18002 How do I find out which reporting utility files are used for each of the Standard Reports?

Q:18003 Our company logo has been added to the Hornet Windmill reports but is not drawn tall enough to fill the space in the report header. Can I change this?

Q18021 When I start a Bar Chart report I get an error "Syntax Error" or "Illegal Quantity" listing udst or udfn parameters. What is wrong?

Q18022 When I print out my report the text characters are drawn across adjacent columns and into the bar chart area. What can I do to correct this?

Custom Reports

Q:18004 I am using the TRACE command in a report instruction file to create a debug listing of the report but it is not working. Why?

Q:18006 Using Hornet 5000i we developed a series of text style reports that would print using continuous strips to a wide-carriage dot matrix printer. Can I still use these reports with Hornet Windmill?

Q:18008 Using Hornet 5000i I used to print bar chart reports that spanned several pages without intermediate headers and footers. Can I do the same with Hornet Windmill?

Q:18023 I have built a new report format that includes various dates for the tasks but when it is printed these values are shown as numbers and not calendar dates. What should I do to change this?

Q:18030 I have taken a standard bar chart report template and modified the report instructions to skip certain tasks and exclude them from the report. This works fine until I include Headings in the report - the report now occasionally misses out a heading change. What is wrong?

Codes, Select & Sort

Q:18011 I want to include specific activities for a report but there is no easy pattern I can apply to select them. What is the easiest way of achieving this?

Q:18014 I want to print a report that excludes all completed activities. How do I set up this selection?

Q:18024 I have colour coded by tasks by work type but have now been asked to produce a second version coded by task owner. Can I do this without losing the original colour coding?

GraWin

Q:18025 When I save a file in WMF format from GraWin the system sometimes displays the message "Unable to create an Extended Metafile - file saved as a normal Metafile.". What does this mean?

Q:18026 I have saved a large report in WMF format from GraWin but I cannot import it into another application. Other reports using smaller paper sizes are OK. What is wrong?

Q:18027 When I reload a WMF file created by GraWin the sizes it gives as a default do not reflect the actual report size. What sizes are quoted?

Q:18029 When I print a report that uses the fill patterns on task bars I find that they merge to give a general grey pattern which are indistinguishable from each other. Can this be improved?
