Support FAQ's V2.x:

Here are some common answers to CostGuard tech support questions. The topics include:

>> Index Out Of Date, key violation & other data problems

>> Access violation

>> Autoexec.nt error

>> EDATABASE Engine Errors, data directory is not properly initialized.

>> Dates are two digits for the year (e.g., 03), instead of four digits (e.g., 2003)

>> Error running Module and Feature Unlock Utility

>> Directory is controlled by other .NET file, network & File Sharing Error Messages

>> Field 'CELLPHONE' not found (or similar)

>> Printing

>> Conversion

>> Purge

>> Backups and Moving Data


>> Index Out Of Date & other data problems:
This is a data corruption that occasionally occurs.

Version 2.80 or greater: The rebuild should begin automatically. If it doesn't, you can run it from within CostGuard (version 2.80 or greater: Tools > Rebuild). Or, you can start it externally: Start > Programs > CostGuard > Rebuild Utility.

Versions prior to 2.80: Go to Start > Programs > CostGuard > (in versions prior to 2.80) CostGuard Utilities > File Rebuild Utility. Select your data folder. It's usually CGW\DATA\MAIN, unless your data is stored on a server or another folder. You should see a number of files with the ".db" extension. Click "Select All", then click "Rebuild".
When the rebuild is complete, look at the listing for the status of COULD NOT REBUILD. If the file name is _COUNT.DB, or starts with TMP or SLT, then ignore. If the file name looks like a CostGuard file name (e.g., items.db, icntdet.db, ircptdet.db, etc.), then make a note of the file name, close this utility, and continue to the next paragraph. If there were no exceptions then close this utility and start CostGuard again.

If the problem persists, then you should upgrade to version 2.80 or greater, which includes a more powerful rebuild.

>> Access Violation
This is essentially a memory 'collision' in Windows, and requires at least a CostGuard restart. If it persists, then you will need to reboot your computer to clear memory.

>> Autoexec.nt error
This appears to be a XP/SP2 problem. You can download and run a small fix program by clicking here.

>> EDATABASE Engine Errors:
Occurs when CostGuard can't find the data files. This can be fixed by Start > Programs > CostGuard > (in versions prior to 2.80) CostGuard Utilities > CostGuard Configuration. This program contains settings for your CostGuard data. Please see the Installation section of your documentation for details.

>> Dates are two digits for the year (e.g., 03), instead of four digits (e.g., 2003)
This is a Windows setting. To change Control Panel, press Help, then search for Date (or date settings), and follow the instructions for setting the short date format. Select a format that has yyyy instead of yy for the year. After making that change, you may need to exit and re-enter the CostGuard screen you're in for this change to take affect.

 

>> Error running Module and Feature Unlock Utility
Under certain conditions, this utility may not work properly: you may get an error message, or it simply won't work. If you haven't received a newer copy of this program, please call support. After you've received the new program:
- If you received unlockcg32.exe, simply download, double click, and follow the instructions.
- If you received unlockcg32.zip, simply download, double click, select extract, then select your c:\cgw folder.
The Module and Feature Unlock Utility should then work properly.

>> Network Usage & File Sharing
- Directory is controlled by other .NET file
- Multiple Net Files in Use, or lock files error message, error with pdoxusrs.net or paradox.lck:

These errors can occur on both networked and standalone workstations. All CostGuard users have PDOXUSRS.NET and Paradox "lock" files in their data folders (c:\cgw\data\main, or elsewhere depending on your install settings). Normally, when you exit CostGuard, these files close properly. But if you don't exit normally, these files are left open. The next time CostGuard opens, the system detects that the lock files are already in use and returns the error messages.

To fix, you can erase any paradox.lck, paradox.lck, and pdoxusers.net files on your PC. Here are instructions if you need them:

WINDOWS 2000/XP

1. Make sure no one is using CostGuard.
2. Click Start > Search > For Files or Folders.
3. The "Search Results" window opens.
4. Type P*.LCK;P*.NET in the "Search for files or folders named" box.
5. Set the "Look in" box to search the \CGW folder for the drive CostGuard is installed on (for example, Q:\CGW on a network, or C:\CGW on a standalone PC).
6. Click the "Search Now" button.
7. The system will search for lock files, including PARADOX.LCK and PDOXUSRS.LCK.
8. Delete any Paradox and Pdoxusrs that are found.

You can delete all the files at once if you press CTRL + A to select them all, then press the Delete key.

You can delete the files one at a time if you select each one in the "Search Results" list, then press the Delete key.

WINDOWS 98 AND WINDOWS NT WORKSTATION 4.0

1. Make sure no one is using CostGuard.
2. Click Start > Find > Files or Folders.
3. Type in P*.LCK;P*.NET;INTERLCK.* in the "Named" box.
4. Set the "Look in" box to search the \CGW folder for the drive CostGuard is installed on (for example, Q:\CGW on a network, or C:\CGW on a standalone PC).
5. Press Enter or click the "Find Now" or button.
6. The system will search for lock files, including PARADOX.LCK and PDOXUSRS.LCK.
7. Delete any Paradox and Pdoxusrs that are found.

You can delete all the files at once if you press CTRL + A to select them all, then press the Delete key.

You can delete the files one at a time if you select each one in the "Search Results" list, then press the Delete key.


- Other errors occurring over the network. Generally, these errors have to do with rights on the network. CostGuard users need full rights to all CostGuard directories. In addition, since we maintain a .ini file in the Windows directory, they need access to that directory also.

- Record controlled by another user message:
This relates network access and configuration. First, make sure that the user has complete rights to the entire CostGuard directories. Second, make sure the configuration program is set correctly, especially for the Network Setting. Start > Programs > CostGuard > (in versions prior to 2.80) CostGuard Utilities > CostGuard Configuration

>> Field Not Found
The 2.80 update requires some additional fields (vendor cell phone, web page, email address), and creates them on the fly when it opens for the first time. If you're running 2.80 or greater, and you see this message, then erase pxupgrade.log from your data directory (e.g., c:\cgw\data\main; keep in mind that your data may be on a server, not the C drive, and your unit name may differ than 'main'). After erasing this file, start CostGuard again.

>> Printing
- If you try to print and nothing happens, then you probably need to update your printer driver. You get this directly from your printer manufacturer, and can usually do it from their web page. Here's a link to the HP web page for driver updates:
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/software.html

>> Conversion
Files that are required are pro.com, prosetup.exe, and setup.dat

>> Purge Inventory Items
Purge is part of the Module and Feature Unlock Utility, starting on the first page of the Appendix section.

The purge is a global function that erases ALL transactions for ALL items for the date period you specify. It doesn't delete inventory items, but if that's still more than you want to do, then you can rename the item(s) starting with xxx[item name] so that it is moved to the bottom of the list, and will be out of the way. You can also remove it from locations (after
zeroing out the levels), and remove it from vendors.

>> Backups and Moving Data
We can't tell you HOW to backup (and move) your data, because that depends on your backup method (CD, zip, tape, etc.). But the files you need to backup/move are \cgw\data\main (as long as you've accepted our defaults during installation). Otherwise, the data will be on your networked drive.

INVENTORY

Updates

  • An optional Transfer transaction has been added. It is an upgrade to the multi-unit controller, and allows you to actually transfer inventory from one unit to another. There is complete detailed reporting, including a transfer journal and updates to all usage reports. Please call us if you'd like to purchase this new feature.

  • Requisitions: the sorting spinner now works for requisitions created from recipes.

  • Database upgrader, which detects a database update requirement, and performs it automatically.
  • You can open a saved report from the File menu (previously you had to preview a report in order to open a saved report)
    View error log in File menu.
