"Hi Alan, Seeing as you have an ODBC driver available, I would try setting up a traditional ODBC connection to the AS400. Once this is working, you can create a connection with Alchemex Administrator under the 'System DSN' options (down the…"

Allan Smallie replied to John O'Carroll's discussion Template not saving changes
"Hi John, If you are making changes to SHEET1, all modifications will be over written next time you generate the report. The sheets are typically used to store extracted data, and any formats/pivots/font changes etc need to be created in a separate…"

Allan Smallie replied to Leo Demarce's discussion Security Not allowing Macros to run
"Hi Leo, My experience with this has been that the files need to be 'trusted' on each workstation that opens them. This translates to users having to click on the "enable" option, and they would not be prompted again. You can also…"

Allan Smallie replied to Maree Palmer's discussion Accpac AR Invoices and Customer Optional Fields
"Hi Maree, Based on sample Accpac Data, the below view allows you to 'flatten' optional fields for each item. This shows 3 fields, however you can see its easy to extend to include more. Again, linking back to sales history would prove…"

Allan Smallie replied to Jaime Schmulson's discussion SAI vs. Crystal performance issues.
"A few thoughts... Look at the configuration of your ODBC connections that are used within the container. Perhaps they are causing the bottleneck. Are they the same ones used by Crystal? Are your views running efficiently? ie not cumbersome and…"
