Compared Unit Prices Not Updating

Problem

compared prices not updating from Comparisons file to Price File, when using MacNail Customizing to update prices for MacNail construction estimating software

Diagnosis

1. check price sheet-- source must be 'Compared'.
2. mat'l name must be same on price sheet and comparisons file
3. if still not working, try updating All Items (date may not be right )**
4. if still not working, may be a code change problem (see #441)
5. if still not working, have them send us files (comparisons, price sheet, unit price file) and we'll check

Solution

1. check spelling. May want to copy/paste from anothr compared item
2. may want to copy/paste so they're both the same
3. ** on older managers, the date on the Price Sheet for compared items is updated only AFTER prices are updated-- so they'd need to do it twice to get material prices updated. This was fixed in early 96
4. replace manager
