song book

[crybones]

i just bought the hoster program. i can import my songs just fine, i go to the tab at the top that says songbook i select the format, fields, and content then at the bottom it says songbook location: hoster/songbook then i click create it says it was created . then i click veiw songbook and it opens office word but when office word loads it has a window come up and say that the file songbook is not available. so what do i do?

The SongBook file is located here:

c:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster\Songbook\SongBook.rtf

Open Word then go to the SongBook.rtf file (with Hoster Closed) and see if works.

If it does, open Hoster and go to the songbook window and reset your viewer program using the "Select Viewer" button.

P.S. Make sure you have the format of the document set to two columns.

Also please only post your question once on the board, this helps everybosy help you!

Do a search for "SongBook.rtf" using windows search. Are you using Vista? Also what version of Hoster are you installing? Also where is your Songbook location set? (the windaow above the create button in the songbook window)

did a search no items found. yes im useing vista. when i click on songbook another window pops up and says create songbooks and at the bottom it says songbook location it says hoster/songbook it doesn't have c drive or anything else, but it won't let me change the location.

That's what it is supposed to say.

Vista is not letting Hoster create the file. These is a setting for this but since I don't use vista I don't know exacly where it is. Have you searched the forum yet?

Open the folder in Windows Explorer they told you was the location of the file. Press the Compatability Files button up top. The files should appear. Now create the songbook again and all should work.
