Can't Enter Assembly Components

Problem

Cost Items don't show up in the item field, in the component table for Assemblies used in Goldenseal construction estimating software.

Diagnosis

Try the following:
1. Erase the Category cell in that row, and try again.
2. An alternative to #2 is to change the Category System in the Component Category System field, to make sure it matches the one in the Cost Item.
3. Ask what version of Goldenseal estimating software they use. If 1.08, it's probably caused by a known bug.

Solution

1. With no category, all cost items are listed. The item they want was probably in a different category.
2. If they have a category, it only lists cost items that use that category.
3. Known Bug only in version 1.08 of Goldenseal estimating software-- occurs only when there are more cost items than assemblies. They can work around it by creating Assemblies (at least as many as they have Cost Items), and then go back and fill them in.
