Jonathan, I phoned MadCap Support this morning. For now, now good. The rep said, "Although I have seen this issue, I am not sure what may be causing the binding to fail frequently. I will have to do further research on this matter. I will update you with my findings." I am going to also re...

I use Flare v12 with Subversion (SVN). The same problem is happening for me. I've existing projects that are bound to SVN. One day everything is fine re: I can check out current and check in updates. A day or two later, I open the same project and it is not bound to source control. However, Project ...

My thanks to each of you that replied!

Ignore my request. I simply deleted the project off of my C: drive and re-imported it from Subversion.
Luckily, the changes I'd made were minimal (prior to the error appeared that prevented me from checking in the updates).

Some wrote on another thread that "I'd try resetting the window layouts before reinstalling - sometimes that fixes anomalies." will fix the problem (and it did for the other user). Please... I am new to Flare, etc. .. I rarely use it and when I do there are usually problems. What exactly d...

During a search, I hit upon this thread. The background thread error I am seeing is somewhat different. Can anyone provide insight into what the attached error message is trying to tell me? What is the solution? Thank you!!!

Thank you very much for your quick reply. We use Subversion (SVN) for source control. Does this "complicate" the copy? -- at least initially?

What is the best way to copy an entire existing project? I need to do this to make a NEW project ... based on the old one. Thanks.
I am using Flare v10.2.2

Thanks. Logged out/back in. I then deleted the conditional tag set and started from scratch. Things are working fine now and I haven't seen the message (error) all day.

I honestly do not know Advanced mode vs. Basic mode. I was in my project and simply created two condition tags. Then the message began to appear. What mode should I be in? How to switch between modes? thank you

The following message appears when I save or do some other misc. things in my Flare V10 project. I posted it here (general discussion) because I do not know which specific module or functionality is driving it. "The conditional expression edit is in basic mode and data from the advanced express...

See this link. I found it while searching for info on the message/warning/error I am seeing. Does anyone know what this all means? I was definitely working with condition tags when the message began to appear. http://tregner.com/flare-blog/review-of-madcap-flare-version-9-0/ -------------- MY ORIGIN...

I located a Madcap video in YouTube that is quite good and I now feel better about this. I'll use a test project until I'm comfortable.

Hello. I am fairly new to Flare and now need to utilize condition tags. I've read through Madcap's Conditional Tags document and the steps are clear but I need more of an explanatory understanding. Here is why I need to use condition tags (I will be as brief as possible). I have a set of application...

I've searched online and in the style document but I can't find what I need. This is quite simple -- and these quite simple issues are the ones I can usually not find an answer for. I have a bullet list - based on my department template. It looks fine. There is one bullet - in the middle of the bull...

Nita, that worked! ("I suggest you use the {chapnum} for the Appendix heading, too, rather than the {A+} auto-number. I use {chapnum} for my appendixes and it works just fine.") It was good to see 'B' and 'C', etc.!!!! I will have her change it in the master template (along with the other ...

The person who created the style sheet gave me the instructions for the Page Layout field (to use the default). I will do what you suggest and try something else. She also asked me to make that "left" setting. Regarding posting of the appendix heading within the style sheet ... here it is....

Also, something is wrong with the board. Even though I have it set to do so, I am not getting emails when someone replies to my request (hence my delay in checking the board). I noticed the board was down a couple of days ago and I thought they were fixing this lack of email notification issue.

THanks to you both! Here is more information. FOR APPENDIX A (TOC PROPERTIES) -- Printed Output TAB ...Chapter/Page Layout Break area: - Chapter Break - Page layout = default - Page type = left - Chapter File Name = default - Auto-end of left page = disabled Page Number area: - Increment Auto-number...

Unfortunately, Nita's solution did not work. The first appendix ('A') does appear as Appendix A. However, all appendices after 'A' also appear as Appendix A.

A co-worker created a stylesheet for our dept. I'm having issues with it when generating my PDF target - the four appendices are all appearing in the PDF bookmarks as "Appendix A" -- not incrementing (no 'B' or 'C' or 'D'). She has no idea as to how to fix it so I thought I'd ask the wonde...

No need to reply -- I figured it out by using Flare's online help.
