Missing Menu Items

Problem

"I can't find the menu item!" while using MacNail construction software. Can happen in estimating, accounting or scheduling modules.
missing menu item

Diagnosis

If the item is a MacNail menu item, check if they have manager open- manager must be open to access menus. Also: if they are on a small screen, the menu may just be too large, in which case a small black triangle will show at the bottom of the menu. Positioning the mouse over the triangle will scroll the menu; the 'missing' item should appear.

Solution

If they can't SEE McN menu, but they have other MacNail menu items, it's probably because there isn't enough space to display the McN menu. Try "short MacNail menu" in Options\MacNail Options. We also have a shorter menus disk we can send out (involves ResEdit hacking).

NOTE-- This answer applies to our retired MacNail construction software, which we retired in 2001. It has been replaced by Goldenseal estimating software and accounting software .
