Lost user ID and password, how do I recover

Has anyone used the report shown on www.peachtreeusers.com that is supposed
to make financial reporting simpler?  Does it work with 2003?  The webpage
doesn’t mention 2003 but I thought perhaps they’d just not updated the page
yet.

I’m having a heck of a time trying to develop the reports the board wants.
They want them grouped in a way that does not fit the departmental coding
already set up.  I had thought of changing account numbers…but as those
account numbers span into about 4 different databases, uncountable numbers
of spreadsheets and forms and reports I’ve decided that’s not a rational
choice.

If all else fails I guess I’ll have to export and manipulate.  I hope not.

Thanks,
Angela

Is there a facility in V12.0 to export a report (e.g. Income
Statement), then import the data into an Excel worksheet?

The only option I found in the Peachtree manuals was
the standard Windows print option, "Print to disk." With
that, I was able to copy/paste the data into a Word or
Excel file, but columnar formatting was lost..

Thanks, for anyone’s help on this.

I’m using PT2002 Complete Accounting Multi-user on Win2K Server w/ Win2K Pro
Workstations.

I’ve created a new item in inventory with 0 quantity.  And, created PO for
that new item and printed.  Then, received full quantity with invoice number
and applied full payment.  Afterwards, I posted just the PO, but the
inventory quantity does not increment.

This problem existed ever since we’ve started using PT.

Would appreciate help.

Hi.
    I’m running four companies in Peachtree Complete 2002 on a Windows 2000
Professional system. I post to certain companies on certain days of the
week. In one company last week, when I tried to do my sales invoicing, I
could enter all the data and create the invoice but when I saved it and
checked the invoices through the open button, all my invoice for the day
hade zero balances. When I open them up via the open list, all the detail is
gone. I would appreciate any help I can on this.

                                            Thank you
                                            Richard C. Rivers

I’ve recently completed an assembly viewer for one of my clients.  It uses DDE
to create several VFP tables that can be used to cost assembly items, print an
assembly book, update prices using last cost of items including labor, list
assemblies by items, or list non-assembly items.

Anyone interested in something like this.

I just upgraded my client’s site from PCAW 7.0 to PCAW 2003.  The
data conversion appeared to go OK.  The site is a peer-to-peer
network with one non-dedicated Windows 2000 Pro server, a Windows
95 workstation, and a Windows ME workstation (network details at
end of message).

After the upgrade, posting a sale from a workstation is now very
slow (30-40 seconds).  Posting a sale on the server is somewhat
faster, but still slower than with v7.0.  Client says posting from
a workstation in V7.0 only took two or three seconds.

After the upgrade, when a sale is posted from a workstation, the
server’s hard disk activity is constant for the 30-40 seconds it
takes for the post to complete (i.e. "disk churning").

My client handles about 10,000 sales per year.  The JrnlHdr.DAT
file is 32 MB, and the JrnlRow.DAT is 90 MB.

The network hardware is OK.  Other non-database programs (Word,
Excel) read from/write to the server without any slow-downs.

Checked the MKDEMSG.LOG file on all three computers.  No errors.

I’m pretty sure this is a PeachTree/Btrieve problem, and not a
network or Windows 2000 issue.  With v7.0, the fix to 90% of my
client’s problems was to delete SORTJOB.DAT and let PT rebuild it.
Looks like that file is no longer used in 2003.

I’ve searched both the PT knowledgebase and the Google
archives for this newsgroup, all to no avail.  I haven’t called
PeachTree Tech Support yet because I usually find much better
answers here.  And I’m not familiar enough with the Integrity
Check tools to start re-indexing/re-building things.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Chris.
