Macro Error E233

Problem

early ACCOUNTING 3.4 MANAGERS
macro error at E233 or possibly E234 in MacNail accounting software for construction.

Diagnosis

There is one bug that escaped testing. If they have documents with more than one window in them, anything that activates a document will give a macro error at E233 or possibly E234.

The problem applies only to some early versions of MacNail construction accounting software

Solution

The quickest fix will be for them to edit the code in the Manager at 233 and 234.
E233 is now: =FOR("ct2",E231,1,-1)
it should be changed to =FOR("ctx",E231,1,-1)
E234 is now: =ACTIVATE(GET.DOCUMENT(1)&":"&#REF!)
it should be changed to =ACTIVATE(GET.DOCUMENT(1) &":"&ctx)

The variable "ct2" was actually referring to cell CT2, and it must have been deleted somehow, giving the #REF!.

NOTE-- In general, our newer Goldenseal accounting software program is much less fragile than MacNail. Bugs sometimes turn up but it's much less likely to give weird error messages, than MacNail.
