"ACME" Industries in reports
Action |
NOTE: This is no longer a problem in the Windows versions. See CMS to upgrade from DOS to Windows.
There are two ways to get this error in the DOS version of Stockroom Inventory and three ways to get it in the DOS version PO Tracker. The first step is to determine where the name ACME is appearing.
1. If the ACME name appears in the opening screen, it is encoded into STUFF.MEM and can only be changed by doing a user name change. To do this step, get the #1 disk for the product and start the program. From the main menu pick MAINTENANCE. Once the maintenance menu is on the user's screen, press ALT-F10. You will be instructed to place the #1 disk in the floppy drive and press ENTER. The machine will now produce a code consisting of six characters and will ask for a password. Since CMS will generate this password, you must contact CMS technical support. The password is always numeric and of the form 12345.67. The password must be entered correctly, including the decimal point. The program will then ask for the NEW company name. Once it is correct, press ENTER and the program writes to the floppy disk and hard disk and terminates.
2. If the ACME name is appearing on the top of reports, delete the file CINFO.MEM in the program directory. Next, start the program (SR or PO) and then pick QUIT from the main menu. Once the program detects that CINFO.MEM is missing, it will bring up a screen that allows the user to enter a name, the company name and other information about the organization. The program will attempt to send a copy of this information to the printer when the user exits the last data field.
3. If the ACME name appears on the top of Purchase Orders or Requisitions in the PO program, start the PO program and pick #5 MAINTENANCE from the main menu. Inside the maintenance menu, pick #7 to select forms. The program will ask to answer Y or N to using plain paper. The question is asked three times, once each for Purchase Orders, Requisitions, and Blanket PO's. AT LEAST ONE OF THESE FIELDS MUST BE "YES". Upon exiting the third data entry field, the program will present a series of four or five lines where the you may enter the company name and address. Once this is entered correctly, the program will save the information for future use.
