Paint Estimating Import

Problem

"I'm getting numbers for paint in the Hyper•Remodeler, but when I export to MacNail construction estimating software, the paint always comes up as zero!!"

Loses paint estimates when importing from Hyper Estimator to MacNail estimating software

Diagnosis

rare problem- Remodelers shipped before Oct '92 had this bug. Best answer is to send them a new HR disk. This problem will not occur in the Hyper•Estimator.

Solution

For HyperTalk people: the problem is that the transfer code for HR is a duplicate of the transfer code in HE- the "dimensions6" handler in the script of the "Export To MacNail" button is the relevant one. If the user really wants the changes quickly, you could try dictating the changes from a working copy of HR. Not for the faint-hearted!
