The following procedures will address most problems involved in
running QwikQuote:
-
Check the system resources available to QwikQuote
by selecting your Control Panel and the Performance tab. If your
system resources are less than 30, free up resources by closing
programs, changing Virtual Memory or Paging settings, or adding RAM or
more hard drive space to your system.
-
Check the QwikQuote Download Page
to ensure that you have the latest copy of QwikQuote. Our first
priority is always to fix program errors, so if you appear to have an
error, there is a good chance we may have already corrected it in the
free download. The specific version number of your current QwikQuote
update is contained in the upper right corner of the "About
QwikQuote 5.1" screen under your Help menu.
-
Run the QwikQuote Version Checker program that is
installed in the QwikQuote directory. This utility loads into your
QwikQuote program window and checks the internal version numbers of
all DLL and OCX sub-routines associated with QwikQuote. DLL and OCX
files are often shared with other programs, and those programs may
inappropriately install older versions with more recent, though
incorrect, dates. If this is the problem, QwikQuote Version Checker
will tell you so that you can re-name the offending files and
re-install QwikQuote. Before calling QwikQuote Tech
Support, please fax a copy of your Version Checker printout to 609/
818-1076.
-
A surprising number of systems contain viruses. Clean
your system by booting with a clean diskette and then running
anti-virus software, which can be downloaded from McAfee Corporation's
BBS. Running anti-virus software on an infected system without a
clean boot disk will not remove the virus.

You are probably having a network rights problem;
QwikQuote requires the appropriate network rights in order to
write data to certain areas of your server. For Novell,
make sure that the rights on the QwikQuote directory and
subdirectories include read, write, create, erase, modify and scan
rights. |

you convert a 16 bit (QwikQuote 4.5) database into a 32 bit
database you will not be able to read it in a 16 bit program and
will get this error. |

it to be. |
Frequent Tech Support Questions

How
do I export QwikQuote to the Sant ProposalMaster software?
Click here for a complete tutorial.
I
use the United Parcel Service software, and it seems to conflict with
QwikQuote.
QwikQuote version 5.1.9 and
above use files from Microsoft Visual
Studio 6 Service Pack 3. All the QwikQuote database DLLs were
changed which makes them incompatible with the olrder files used by
the UPS Online Office software. Two update packages from
Microsof will bring all your files to the current version.
If you're in Windows 98, you should not need the first of these two
packages. They're available at:
http://www.qwikquote.com/files/updates/dcom95.exe
and
http://www.qwikquote.com/files/updates/mdac_typ.exe
Save each of these to your hard drive and
run each one individually. DCOM98
is installed by default in Windows 98 computers (according to Microsoft)
and
so you shouldn't need DCOM95 for those computers. MDAC requires DCOM
and
will not install without it so we've put both on our server. All the
database driver files get replaced when you install these files and on my
test system the UPS software ran without errors.
I have problems with the
DAO2535.TLB file or general database errors.
Download and install the files listed in the question above.
How
do I create fields and link to user-defined fields in my contact manager?
QwikQuote 5.1 added the ability to create fields and link
to more contact manager fields. This names of the contact manager
fields and documented procedures can be downloaded in a PDF document
by clicking here.
Requires free Adobe Acrobat
Reader to read.
I
have "xxxxx" through my cost price and pricing levels. How
do I get rid of it?
You've inadvertently entered "Customer Mode", a mode
that allows you to work with QwikQuote without disclosing pricing
information to someone looking over your shoulder. Go to the Price List,
and press the F7 key to exit. If you have not previously entered a
password, you will not need a password to clear Customer Mode.
If
I quote annual support and I need to prorate it based on remaining days in
the year, how can I do that?
Click in the price column, click the Edit Key twice (F2), then type this
equation:
= Days * (Price / 365)
My Excel
spreadsheet will not import correctly.
QwikQuote uses a Microsoft tool for importing
Excel spreadsheets, but we have found that some spreadsheets require
certain fixes before importing.
General
Guide lines
One
field per column and one item per row.
An item should be in a row by itself, and each column should
contain just one field. For instance, your spreadsheet should be a matrix
of products by row and attributes (description, cost, manufacturer, etc.)
by column.
No
blank spaces in the information
Make sure there are no blank spaces in the body of your information
(Highlight your database, and use the Edit | Replace function in Excel to
replace all blank cells with ‘0’.)

All
data visible
All data must be visible in each cell. Highlight your
database, and use the auto fit function to adjust the cell width.

Tricks
for trouble Excel imports
1.
Try copying the data and pasting it onto a new spreadsheet, then saving.
2.
Make sure your part numbers are set to the "Number" format.
Highlight the column, then choose Format | Cells | Number. The other
settings (decimal places, negative numbers) do not matter.

3.
Try changing the order of your items. Highlight your database and
choose Data | Sort in Excel.

4.
Try splitting the information into two different price sheets, then
importing one into the other.
