Installation
Q:18010 I had to reinstall
Hornet Windmill on my PC but it will not accept the access code
number I was given. Why?
Q:18012 Can I run the Hornet
Windmill 16 bit release (Version 7.2) alongside the 32 bit version
(Version 7.3)?
Q:18016 Can a project be run
under both the Hornet Windmill 16 bit release (Version 7.2) and
the 32 bit version (Version 7.3)?
Configuration
Q:18005 How do I set up a short
cut to Hornet Windmill on my Windows 95 desktop?
Q:18009 When I open a project I
get the message "Project data file may be corrupt with
illegal indexes.". What does this mean and what should I do?
Q:18018 How can I get Hornet
Windmill to list projects in different directories and will it
list projects from more than one directory area?
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?
Hornet 5000i
Q:18007 I have been using Hornet
5000i to produce graphical style reports but have recently
installed a new printer. I cannot find a driver for this printer -
how can I get the reports produced?
Q:18015 I have run a project
under Hornet Windmill (Windows version), can I now use Hornet
5000i on the project data files?
