OUTLOOK: ORIGINAL E-MAIL ARE SAVED TO DRAFTS AFTER REPLY OR FORWARD

May 28, 2021Microsoft, Outlook 2019Glenn Belyea

The issue is that when replying to or forwarding e-mail causes Outlook to save a
copy of the original e-mail in the Drafts folder…. This one was weird.

To fix it, go into the Options page by clicking on the file tab, then click
options near the bottom of that page.



Then choose the Mail link at the left, scroll down until you find the Replies
and Forwards section. Uncheck the first item, “Open replies and Forwards in a
new Window”


Now, click OK on the way out and you should be good to go.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


OUTLOOK PROMPTS TO SAVE ORIGINAL E-MAIL AFTER FORWARD OR REPLY

May 28, 2021Microsoft, Outlook 2019Glenn Belyea

So, Outlook is asking to save your original e-mail every time you reply or
forward.
There is an add-in that causes this issue, it is call the Outlook Social
Connector 2016.
Not everyone is seeing an issue with it, so if it isn’t causing an issue, leave
it alone.

If you ARE having issues, do the following:

Click the File TAB at the top of Outlook


Then Click Options near the bottom of the page


Now Choose Add-ins, then click the Go button at the bottom of the page

From the Add-ins page, un-check the Outlook Social connector 2016, you may have
to scroll down to find it.
Once un-checked, click OK on every page until you are out of the options panel.
Close Outlook and then re-open it.

This problem should now be fixed.

OUTLOOK 2019 AUTO-COMPLETE

May 7, 2021Outlook 2019Glenn Belyea

Here are the steps to clear the auto-complete, or alternatively just turn off
the auto-complete, completely.

Turning off or clearing Auto-complete:

From within Outlook, click the File TAB. Choose the Options link near the bottom
left of the window.

You should now have the Outlook Options window open.

Click the Mail link on the left, and scroll down until you see the Send messages
section.

If you want to turn off Auto-complete, uncheck the Use Auto-complete List.

If you just want to clear out what has already been saved, just click the “Empty
Auto-Complete List” button, it will prompt you to decide whether you really want
to clean the list or not.



If you turn off Auto-complete, remember, you will have to start typing a name
then click the “Check Names” button to fill them in.

This will only work for addresses that are in your contact list, or the Global
address book. With the Auto-Complete off, Outlook will not remember that you
typed in Imaemailaddress@somedomain.com. You will have to type it in every time,
or save it to your contacts.

Once saved to your contacts, Outlook will find it by using the “Check Names”
button shown below. It’s pretty small, so it can be a pain to find sometimes.

The button is in the Ribbon Bar of new messages.



Editing the Auto-complete list:

You can also delete individual addresses from the Auto-complete list.

In a new e-mail, start typing a name, the Auto-Complete list will pop up. If you
see an address you don’t want in the list,



Use the up or down arrow until the address is highlighted, then use the delete
button on your keyboard to delete the address.

SAGE 300 CRE PRINT TO EXCEL NOT WORKING

January 28, 2020Sage 300 CRE, TimberlineSage 300 CRE, TimberlineGlenn Belyea

We were seeing an error when trying to print to Excel from Sage 300 CRE.

The error thrown was:  “Printer not activated. Error Code -30”

This worked for me to fix the problem. I think the issue was created a long time
ago, and upgrades didn’t fix the issue.

https://support.na.sage.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=22320&sliceId=1

I was able to fix it using option A:

RESOLUTION

Reinstall (install) TS PDF Generator:

Option A:

 1. Click your Windows Start Button and select Control Panel.
 2. Select Devices and Printers.
 3. Select the TS PDF Generator printer and remove.
 4. Select any printer listed then click Print server properties from the menu
    above.
 5. Select the Drivers tab.
 6. Select each instance of the Amyuni Document Converter and click Remove.
 7. Run the PDF Converter install from the following location:
    * Wininst folder on the server …\\Servername\Timberline
      Office\9.5\Accounting\WinInst\Prerequisites\PDF
      Converter\RunAmyUnilnst.exe
    * NOTE: The PDF Converter install will run Silently.

If this does not get your TS PDF Generator installed correctly then try the
steps outlined in Option B.

Option B:

Use the instructions to completely remove and reinstall the Amyuni PDF driver

 1. Open Devices and Printers (Printers and Faxes on Windows XP), click on the
    TS PDF Generator and delete it (Remove Device).
 2. Reboot computer (very important step)
    Note: Make sure the TS-PDF printer has been removed, if it’s still listed
    there may be pending print jobs keeping it installed.
 3. Open C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86 and delete all ACpdf*,
    ACFpdf.txt and Cdintf* files. Delete these files from any sub-directories as
    well. If the machine is a 64-bit OS, you will also need to search for and
    delete the same files from the C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\x64
 4. Delete the amyuni_amyunidocumentconverter* directory if it exists.
 5. Open C:\Windows\System32 and delete all Cdintf* files.
 6. Open C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (if it exists) and delete all Cdintf* files
 7. Open the C:\Program Files\Timberline Office\Shared directory and delete all
    Cdintf* files.

Install TS PDF Generator Amyuni Driver

FOR ACCOUNTING:

 3. Version 13.1 and later – navigate to the Wininst folder on the server
    …\\Servername\Timberline Office\9.5\Accounting\WinInst\Prerequisites\PDF

KEYBOARD NOT WORKING AFTER UPGRADE FROM WIN7 TO WIN10

November 6, 2019Windows 10GDATA, Keyboard, upgrade, Windows 10Glenn Belyea

I ran into an issue that I had seen previously but couldn’t remember the
solution. After upgrading a users PC to Windows 10 from Windows 7, I could only
get me test bench keyboard to work. My thought was that is was a PS/2 through
USB adapter that was allowing it to work where other keyboards wouldn’t work.

After searching, uninstalling, bios updates, etc. I found this in the driver
details. It sparked a memory of encountering this same problem previously.



I think the problem is caused by GDATA’s keyboard protection not being
implemented properly after the upgrade.

To fix the issue, follow the directions below and search for kbdclass in the
registry until you find the Upperfilters keys.





Next, remove any mention of GDKBB, it will look like this:



Here is it removed.



Keep searching to make sure there aren’t more entries, I typically find 2 or 3
that need to be changed. When done, reboot and any keyboard should now work.

SET DEFAULT PRINTER IN WINDOWS 10

November 4, 2019Windows 10Printer, Windows 10Glenn Belyea

From time to time I get asked the question: How do I change the Default Printer
in Windows.

Here are the steps for Windows 10:

Click on the Windows “Start” icon in the lower left corner of your screen.

Then Click on  the Settings icon:



Choose Devices:



Next Click on Printers and Scanners, then scroll toward the bottom of this page
and find “Let windows manage my default printer”, you need to Uncheck this
option.



Next find the printer that you want to make the Default Printer, click it and
then click the “Manage” button.



You will now see the option “Set as default”, click this button and now this
will be your default printer. Once the default is set, close out of all the
settings screens and your programs will now use this default printer.

LINUX DELETE FILES OLDER THAN X

March 28, 2019LinuxLinux, Raspberry Pi, Raspi, ScriptingGlenn Belyea

Command Syntax

> find /path/to/files* -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;

Note that there are spaces between rm, {}, and \;

Explanation

 * The first argument is the path to the files. This can be a path, a directory,
   or a wildcard as in the example above. I would recommend using the full path,
   and make sure that you run the command without the exec rm to make sure you
   are getting the right results.
 * The second argument, -mtime, is used to specify the number of days old that
   the file is. If you enter +5, it will find files older than 5 days.
 * The third argument, -exec, allows you to pass in a command such as rm. The {}
   \; at the end is required to end the command.

This should work on Ubuntu, Suse, Redhat, or pretty much any version of linux.

EXCEL FORMULAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY

March 25, 2019Excel, Microsoft, Tips & TricksGlenn Belyea

I recently had an issue where a user copied an old Excel Spreadsheet to create a
new yearly file.

When the new file was opened and data was entered, they found that the formulas
were not updating as expected. I tried re-creating the formulas with no luck.
When I googled the problem I found the answer.

I’m not sure why this happened, but Automatic updating of formulas was set to
Manual. Here are the steps to re-enable Automatic updating of Formulas. This is
based on Excel 2010, but I am sure the setting is available on most version of
Excel.

Open the spreadsheet with the problem, the select the Formulas tab at the top.



Then choose Automatic from the Calculation Options button on the far right.



Make sure to save the file as you exit.

I found the solution here: 
https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2016/02/03/excel-formulas-not-working/#excel-formulas-not-updating

There are other problems solved on this webpage too, so you might take a look.

SETTING DEFAULT PRINTER PROPERTIES

November 6, 2018Windows 10, Windows 7Glenn Belyea

… AND GETTING IT TO STICK.

Have you ever tried to set a setting for a printer and then it seems to go back
to the way it was after closing the document you were working with? Well, this
always seems trip people up.

When you make a change to printer settings inside of a document (Word, Excel,
PDF, etc) the settings are only temporary. To make them stay the way you want
them, you have to change the setting from the Printer Control Panel found by
opening “Devices and Printers” either from the Start Menu program list, or the
Control Panel.

Right click the printer where you want to make changes. Choose “Printer
properties” about halfway down the list.
