User friendly suggestions for IR

First let me say that you guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge. Here's a few suggestions if they can be implemented.

The Notes on the Keymoves and Macros worksheets allow you to put in two lines of text (good for LKP), but when re-opened, the row does not open expanded and often loses the second line. I mean it is gone, like it never existed.

I would love to be able to print the keymoves and macro pages. Is there a reason that can't be implemented?

Glad you added the special protocol builders!

Way to go!

Dave

I don't know why you can't see more than one line of notes. When you open the KM or Macro dialog do you see all the notes?

I forgot all about the summary page..DOH!

As I said in the post in the Extenders section, after opening the file in IR I have to expand the row to see any second line of notes. That's only an inconvenience. The real problem is often the second line of notes are gone. It's not consistent though. Some second lines are there, others are not. It looks like about half and half. I thought maybe it was because I copied the notes of one from the other (i.e. copied DVD LKP notes from VCR LKP notes and made a revision). On the keymoves page the original (VCR) second line notes are missing, but the DVD notes are there. On the macro page neither second line of notes are there from the two I created this morning. They were copied from the keymoves page notes. It's very weird!

I'm posting the file: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files ... r_8910.zip

Any ideas?

Most likely what is happening is that on the copy and paste the CR/LF is not coming over. That is common when copying from text type field.

Conversely some people copied and pasted from Word and it had all kinds of wierd characters.

So...I am almost certain that is what happened. I know this is very incomvenient but unfortunately it is part of the way Windows does this stuff.

Since the grids were already "stringgrids" I could not use anything else for the last field.

I'll type them all manually and see what happens.

I'm not sure what effect the last field (Notes?) being a stringgrid has, but I don't have to know. You're the genius!

Nevermind! I thought revisions would mean a new version number. Just dl'd and checked. Works great! Thanks Paul. You're amazing!
