Just to note... the 'reset' seems to reset the suite.. as I needed to enter personal info into Textmaker again... and Planmaker had some different defaults.

FYI...

Select a functioning printer driver in File | Print. The "Generic / Text only" driver is unusable. Pretty weird design 'feature' that a Printer setting should affect the User Interface... although, those limited available fonts were definitely a clue. A drastic solution... but sometimes y...

Hi, all... I've just opened BasicMaker to try and deal with some code... and for some reason, the font size in the editor has become minuscule, viz:- BM-Issue-01.jpg The File > View > Customize settings haven't been changed, viz:- BM-Issue-02.jpg Changing the font values doesn't alter the way the ed...

Hi, all... Consider this simple code: ' ' Works Ok in BasicMaker Professional 2021 (rev S1068.1105) 32bit under Windows 8.1 32-bit ' DateDiff is unknown in BasicMaker Professional 2024 (rev S1222.1129) 64bit under Windows 11 64-bit ' Dim TheDate As Date ' Declare variables.

Hi, again... I am setting up an application (PlanMaker in this case) using CreateObject() , etc... and I use the methods pm.Visible and pm.Active to ensure the user can see the application. If I then display a dialog, there doesn't seem to be any guarantee that the dialog will be displayed in front ...

Hi, again... When processing a PlanMaker worksheet that is complex or has many rows/columns to iterate through, the processing can take significant time. Is there any way that a 'progress' indicator... or some 'messasge' system be used to indicate progress? MsgBox() and Dialog() both need to be ackn...

Hi, all... another newbie here (in BasicMaker, anyway)... and I haven't done any VBA-style things in a spreadsheet since the 1990s or something(!) So, a bit of a simplistic question: I have a worksheet that has a title row and then some populated rows. I simply want to find the last non-empty row in...
