In that folder should be a file called mrbrwdefault.mbjrp. Rename it to save the contents and then rerun your test. It should ask you to set the folders. Please click on the browse button.</p></div>Mike Bray (Quote Loader Author)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/491034142021-04-12T13:01:43Z2021-04-12T13:01:43ZReport Writer feedback<div><p>Hi Mike<br>

However, looking at this file it also contains config data for your quote loader.

Your original mrbpreferences.dict2 has a rogue<br>
directory in it<br>
<a>firstrundir</a>;. Let me play around with this so I can find out what is going on. On the one where<br>
the quote loader preferences disappeared, please can you rerun and<br>
upload the error log and the preferences file.<br>
Thanks<br>

Files attached. The process I followed was:</p>
<p>All files deleted, went into MD and ran the Quote Loader. Contents of MRBPreferences.dict2 is:<br>
{ "mapData": { "securityquoteload.framedepth": "800", "securityquoteload.runtype": "rundaily", "securityquoteload.framewidth": "800", "securityquoteload.runmode": "automode" } }</p>
<p>Now run the Report Writer confif and save folders, Contents of MRBPreferences.dict2 is:</p>
<p>{ "mapData": { "reportwriter.framex": "0", "reportwriter.framey": "0", "firstrundir": "C:\tmp", "parmlastdb": "20210121", "reportwriter.datapanewidth": "820", "reportwriter.datapaneheight": "600" } }</p>
<p>Back into Quote Loader and config again, Contents of MRBPreferences.dict2 is:</p>
<p>{ "mapData": { "securityquoteload.framedepth": "800", "securityquoteload.runtype": "rundaily", "securityquoteload.framewidth": "800", "securityquoteload.runmode": "automode" } }</p>
<p>Backl into Report Writer and Contents of MRBPreferences.dict2 is:<br>
{ "mapData": { "securityquoteload.framedepth": "800", "securityquoteload.runtype": "rundaily", "securityquoteload.framewidth": "800", "securityquoteload.runmode": "automode", "reportwriter.framex": "0", "reportwriter.framey": "0", "parmlastdb": "20210121", "reportwriter.datapanewidth": "820", "reportwriter.datapaneheight": "600" } }</p>
<p>Hope this helps<br>

will look into it.<br>

I have recompiled all my extensions and uploaded them to Downloads. Unfortunately these are unverified. Please download both Quote Loader and Report Writer and retry your tests.</p></div>Mike Bray (Quote Loader Author)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/491034142021-04-13T21:15:15Z2021-04-13T21:15:15ZReport Writer feedback<div><p>Hi Mike<br>
That all seems to have fixed the issues.<br>
Many thanks! I'll now start to try and work out how to create some reports :)</p>
