Accounting Troubleshooting

Everything looks grey

You may have moved off to the right. Slide the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen all the way to the left.
There is a bug in some versions of Excel that will randomly turn the worksheet partially grey. Move around the worksheet, and the screen will reappear.

NOTE-- In 2000, MacNail was replaced by Goldenseal construction accounting software. Goldenseal is an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features.

Extract Range Invalid

The extract or criteria may be damaged. Choose *Fix Database from the OPTIONS menu.

I'm lost!

If you are lost within a worksheet in the MacNail construction accounting software, move the 'slide bar' at the right side of the window all the way to the top, and the 'slide bar' at the bottom of the window all the way to the left.
If you are lost among too many windows, use the MacNAIL menu to go to the desired worksheet. You can also use the WINDOW menu to see any file.

Interrupted or Unfinished Macros.

Some versions of Excel are sensitive to interference with some resources (things like Smart Alarms, or screen savers). When running a long Macro turn any screen savers off. Some screen savers will interrupt MacNail Macros. See also page 232.

MacNail Menu Items Disappear

You may be in short menus. Choose Full Menu from the OPTIONS menu (2.2 Excel and greater only).
If some MacNail menu commands are greyed out, choose *Fix Menus from the OPTIONS menu.
