Error Messages;Safety Tips

Error Messages, Safety Tips

Some safety tips to make your life easier:

Back up lists occasionally to prevent accidental data loss.  Especially when importing or moving large lists through numerous changes, it is important to back up.  Intense activity on slower machines can lead to problems, if Webmaster is adding records at such a pace that your hard drive cant keep up with requests!  In some intensive import operations, I have noticed a problem can occur here from time to time, though it is not a programming error (from what I can tell!).  To prevent this from happening, try importing fewer files at a time.  Importing 1000 files in a single batch that contain 15000 addresses, for example, may be a little much to ask!

To back up a list for safekeeping, click SAVE and save your list under a backup name.  This will create a second open list which you can then close; your original list will still be open.

If you encounter a General Protection Fault or other error message, click OK and allow Webmaster to continue startup (if Webmaster is already running, close it immediately).  Errors can occur under adverse system conditions (external to Webmaster), yet Webmaster will try to correct most situations without further interruption.  If Webmaster generates a GPF, it is advisable that you reboot Windows and then run CLEANUP.BAT (located in the Webmaster home directory) before restarting the program  This will appear to reinstall the program, though it does not overwrite any existing files.  If you get an Index 800 Error message, try the same procedure to correct any problem.

If you are having trouble getting your entire list to print, make sure that you have not unintentionally limited the scope of the list by selecting a group folder.  PUBLISH is context-sensitive, so will print only addresses currently visible in the list (whether resulting from Custom List Build or from clicking on a Group name).
