Go To Category Error

Problem

Gives 'bad formulas in clearinghouse' error msg, when using 'Goto Category'. Est Mgr 3.3 in MacNail construction estimating software

Diagnosis

which category are they going to?

Solution

if they've typed over the formula in I think the first subcategory in clearinghouse, 'Goto category' can't find the correct line in Specs to go to, anymore! Have them go to a neighboring category and then scroll a little.

"Bad formula" error is a problem with the new way "goto category" now works. It uses formulas in summation and clearinghouse to trace back to location of specifications. If they've removed the formula in summation or the formula in the first subcategory in clearinghouse when entering a bid price, it can't find its way any more and gives an error msg. I don't know of any completely unbreakable way around it.
