A few questions

1999-10-05 Thread Dominique Busso
I have a few questions regarding capabilities of Metacard: 1) how can I export an "image" capture of a card? 2) has someone already use an external protection key (like the Rainbow Sentinel...) with Metacard? What would be your recommandation (needed for Mac and Windows)? 3) is to launch extern

For the record, the same printing problems happened to me earlier this summer when I tested a standalone on a PC running Windows 98 with a brand new HP printer running the latest driver. In my case, the printer spewed blank sheets of paper repeatedly until we cut the power. Printing in other apps

Sorry to intrude with a new subject. My understanding of "any"--as in "put any line of field 1 into somevariable"--is that it could lead to an item being randomly selected (from a list) more than once. Thus, if I used "put any" to reshuffle "1 6 24 32 43", one possible although unwanted result mi

Printing Error with HPs

Some months ago, in the beta phase of testing clinical decision support software, I installed it in my brother's medical practice which uses Windows NT and a HP 670C. Printing was entirely stable before installing MC. After attempting to print with MC for the first time the printer misbehaved badl
