Frequently Asked Questions
When I enter a new book, it makes a duplicate of the book type.
In Version 1.0 RC3, entering a book using the blank line at the bottom of
the book list creates a new instance of the book type in the Book Types
table. To avoid this problem, use the Add book button at the top of the
Edit Books form.
I am able to set up my homeschool and students, but when I
go to "Enter/Edit Lessons", nothing happens.
The problem is that the calendar control is not properly registered. To
fix the problem, try the following procedure:
Open an MS-DOS prompt (Start/Programs/MS-DOS Prompt)
You should get a black (MS-DOS) box with a prompt that looks like
At the prompt, type "cd system" (w/o quote marks), so your screen will look
like
Press Enter, then type "regsvr32.exe \windows\system\mscal.ocx" (w/o quotes)
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM> regsvr32.exe \windows\system\mscal.ocx
With luck, that should do the trick. If you get the message that the
control was registered successfully, at any rate.
Close the MS-DOS box (just type exit at the prompt), and try starting MLR
and see if it works.
The total hours for Year To Date sums in the "Monthly Log Reports" isn't right.
There is a bug in Version 1.0B1 that incorrectly sums the Year To Date in
some categories in this report. The total core and non-core hours are
reported correctly, however.
I tried to print the "Monthly Log Report", but the screen just flashes
and takes me back to the switchboard.
Check to make sure that no more than 5 categories are checked as core. This
report cannot handle more than 5 core subject categories.
The weekdays don't work right in planning Lessons Template.
There are problems when Sunday is chosen as the first day of week. Choose
Monday as first day of week in program preferences.
