Users typically love SQL Server Reporting Services Reports (SSRS), especially if they’re accustomed to more primitive tools such as Visual FoxPro. However, One of the biggest complaints I hear about SSRS is that users want to be able to launch it directly from their ERP, accounting, and other systems. A conventional way to do this […]
I’ve mentioned in the past how difficult M2M’s flavor of VBA is to use. One problem that I haven’t touched on is the problem of VBA file corruption.
M2M VBA File Corruption? What exactly are you talking about?
When I talk about the VBA file, I am referring to the M2VEvents.prj file. This is the […]
Recently I got a call from another M2M Consultant who was attempting to install M2M on Windows 7. He simply could not get VBA to work. I asked him to run through the steps and I found his problem right away. He had made a mistake early in the process; I have made similar mistakes […]
Can someone please tell me why, after all these years, VBA is still a manually installed application?
To the best of my knowledge, they’ve offered VBA for nearly 10 years. Yet I still have to manually install VBA on every single computer which runs M2M. To make things worse, the instructions for installing it […]
In an earlier article, I challenged my readers to come up with the widest variety of solutions to a problem I posed, and discuss what I thought was the best solution. I apologize that it took me so long to get back to this, but I have been ridiculously busy lately. Anyway, on […]
Your accounting manager comes to you with a problem. Being the stellar M2M Professional that you are, you immediately don your cape and tights. What? You don’t wear tights? Umm.. me neither… really…

While I fully understand why different programming languages use different syntax, wouldn’t it be nice if they could at least agree on a comment structure?
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve typed something like this into the VBA studio:
— Make sure to declare the recordset
Code Here
/*
Comments here
*/
And of course it fails because […]
In a previous article, I mentioned the inadequacy of Made2Manage cycle counting in that you cannot track your cycle counts over time and make that data available to your users. Well, true to my word, I have created the following customization so that you can do just that. Now would be a good […]
Anybody who has developed with VBA and FastForms long enough has most likely run into the following error message.
I cannot tell you exactly why this error occurs, because I’ve never received an answer from support. I know the surest way to trigger it is to attempt to error check fields […]
I love ThinkGeek.
A Made2Manage friend called me recently to ask for help decoding the Visual FoxPro from a M2M report. While talking to him over the phone, I remarked that it would be a lot easier if all of the old code revisions weren’t included with the finished reports. […]
