viewing songbook
 

i just bought the hoster program. i've read the manual and find it to be very easy to use. but when i go to create the songbook it creates it but it will not let me veiw it. i am opening it in office word. and when i try to veiw it it says it can not be opened. what am i not doing right?:f

did you go into the hoster folder and try openening it ?

yes but does not show songs

Did you choose Microsoft Word to be your default viewer when creating the songbook. If so Hoster will create a songbook.rtf (rich text format) file that you can view in Word. You should also see a message indicating the number of entries once the song book is created.

yes i choose it but it still won't show the song book it tells me how many songs are in it when it creates it

What is the error message that you get?

after i click create i click view songbook and it opens office word when word opens the message is the file songbook is not available

How many songs does it tell you it creates in the songbook? Is it correct? What is the size of the rtf file that is created and where is it located?

thats the problem i can not find where it saves the book. and it won't let me change the place to save it. it tells me the correct amount of song

The default location should be something like c:\program files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster\Songbook. Can you see that directory? I'm not in front of my machine so the path may be slightly different.

Try opening up Word and going to that location I just specified. Under file type in Word select rtf and see if you can find/open the songbook file.

You are correct about the location of the SongBook.rtf. He has posted this question twice, I'm trying to help him here.

Would you like to keep him here or shift to the other post? We'll get him going!

i went to the directory you told me to but when i get to hoster and click it all it has is databases and manual so i click databases and it has nothing in it

Let's move to the original thread since it has more information regarding his Operating system, etc.

Thanks

Will Do.
