F.A.Q. - Omni Notify (Last Updated: Sunday, 20 August 2006)

Can I stop the Are you sure you want to Exit dialog?
You can use the Control Panel to disable this feature.   It was added after many users complained of accidentally exiting Great Plains and then having to wait to login again.

Can I purchase Omni Notify by itself?
No, Omni Notify is provided at no charge when purchasing any of the other Omni Tools Modules.

Why does my VBA code sometimes fail when Omni Tools is installed?
One of Omni Notify's features is to include the name of the company you are logged into in the Application Title Bar.  Some VBA code may reference the text of this Title Bar and so may fail if it is changed.  If you have this issue, please use the Omni Tools Control Panel to turn off this Omni Notify feature on a system wide basis.

Why does Omni Notify sometimes prevent access to windows?
From version 7.00 onwards, you may have Omni Tools and Advanced Security installed on the same system.  One of Omni Notify's features is to detect problems with Toolbar and Palette entries and display a warning dialog.  If Advanced Security is installed and the "Hide windows on palettes when denied security" option is enabled, the palette entry numbers are altered to allow this functionality to work.  If Omni Notify's code runs before the palette number is altered, it will check the incorrect palette entry for is validity. 

To ensure this works correctly, Advanced Security must run its code first before Omni Notify does its checks.  The order of the products listed in the DYNAMICS.SET launch file controls which application runs first. The latest builds of Omni Tools now have the following warning: "When both Advanced Security and Omni Tools are installed on a system, Advanced Security must appear before Omni Tools in the DYNAMICS.SET launch file. Please alter the launch file and relaunch the application."

To modify the DYNAMICS.SET launch file, right mouse click on it and select edit:

make sure the lines below
  2054
  Omni Tools

are directly below the

  3104
  Advanced Security

lines and that the Omni Tools dictionary pathnames (NOTE: actual paths may differ)

  :C:Dynamics/OMNITOOL.DIC
  :C:Dynamics/OTOO_FRM.DIC
  :C:Dynamics/OTOO_RPT.DIC

are directly below the Advanced Security dictionary pathnames
  :C:Dynamics/ADVSECUR.DIC
  :C:Dynamics/ADVS_FRM.DIC
  :C:Dynamics/ADVS_RPT.DIC

If you have more than one set of dictionary pathnames in your DYNAMICS.SET, please update each set.
