File Location

[Jason J Pustek]

Does anyone still here know the location of the items in the drop down boxes for things like Style? I need to edit what is in some of them and a search of the drive turns up nothing. I presume they are in the registry, but where?
TIA
Jason

Guess I'm not the only one still using NCVForms.

Sorry I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for. If you go to Preferernce>Folder Location that will show your paths to all your files. But if I understand correctly you are looking to change something that wasn't meant to be changed.

No, I am looking for the location of the drop down box files. I have a bunch that I added that I am looking to edit, like "Rampler" and several that are no longer used. If I can get rid of the deadwood, I won't have to scroll through the list to find the ones that I use now.

I will use NCVForms until I am forced to change. The time it will take to learn a new program will kill my production. I am hoping that the magic technology promised for the new year actually arrives before I am forced to go somewhere else.

On my computer they are under the My documents directory: NCVSoftware/NCVforms/Database .
Clients is under a database file and other comment files end in Dat which will open with notepad and probable other word processors. The database files will open in my open office spreasdsheet.

Look under NCVForms>Responses. I believe that is your common response file. I do like how JD kept these kinds of things all available to view with other programs. Not hidden in some obscure format like other vendors will do.

I am trying to make the change to Total, but its killing my production just like you said. I find it more cumbersome than NCVForms was. Hopefully things will get better as I get used to it. Otherwise, I might return to ACI or possibly Clickforms if I have to. But I'd rather not.

What magic technology are you talking about? Something JD is working on or something from other vendors. I know at least 2 vendors are working on Cloud solutions. But I don't think that will make a change any easier.

WARNING!!!!!!!
Opening the Responses file in Notepad or other text editor corrupts the file and the software won't open. Even if you make no changes. Ask me how I know.
