Locked Unit Costs

Problem

user tries to edit the material price field in edit unit prices, finds that it's locked. Windows version only.

Diagnosis

Check for proper install of Takeoff Mgr portion of BidMagic Construction Estimating Software.

Solution

if they have the takeoff mgr, they must make sure it's been installed properly, i.e. the file material.mgr should be in the bidmagic folder.
if they don't have the takeoff mgr, this shouldn't happen! But if it does, they can create a dummy text file "material.mgr" and put it in the bidmagic folder, and that will work correctly. (Obviously they won't be able to use that file as a material mgr, but things will still work OK in bid).

At some point it's worth a remaster to fix this, but it doesn't sound
like it's been much of a problem.
