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?
