Go To Category

Problem

"Go To Category" command produces an empty dialog box!

Diagnosis

Every estimate has a type defined name which refers to cell I1 (check a clean estimate to make certify the cell reference). If this cell has been overwritten, or the defined name has been deleted, this error will occur in MacNail construction estimating software for Macintosh or Windows.

Solution

• Use "Define Name" from the Formula Menu and see if 'type' is defined, and if it refers to the correct cell on the worksheet. If the name is missing, add it.
•  If it is not missing, check the contents of the cell to which 'type' refers; it should contain "MacNail", or "CSI", i.e. the name of a valid estimator type.

NOTE: newer Estimating Manager builds cost categories from the estimating worksheet no matter what 'type' is, so this problem shouldn't occur. 8/21/95
