3.67. EstiMate crashes in multiple places?
EstiMate keeps crashing on me what do I do?
Here are some things to check out.
1. The permissions on your data folder. Make sure the user you are logged in has full permissions to the data folder.
2. EstiMate may have trouble accesing the data. Try to get to the data using windows explorer. If you are blocked in windows explorer, EstiMate will also have trouble.
3. Virus scanning. Configure your virus scanner to NOT scan files that are opened locally. Scanning slows down database access and can cause problems in EstiMate.
4. Attributes. Make sure the attibutes of the databases in the data folder and the data folder itself are not marked read only (with a check mark in the read only box) EstiMate needs to write as well as read to its databases.
5. Zeros in the tax field, hourly rate, or discounts tab. Place a value other than zeros in this field.
Just a short note to tell you our experience with Estimate. It is everything that is advertised and more. We installed the program,with ease, in Janurary, 2004 and the biggest plus we have seen is our greatly improved bottom line. I keep track of supplies purchased that go directly to our sales. That number compared to gross sales has gone down by over 10%. The program has taken us from the SWAG system to a consistent quoting system. Our staff has been trained with the Tutorials and they now have confidence in their quotes. Our estimates/jobs is at the 60% level and that is a improvement. Our customers like the professional way the quotes come to them and they approve and returrn the estimate, usually at a higher price than before we had EstiMate. Again thank you for introducing us to EstiMate. David Kimmel
