Re: [Emerald] Odd Problem

WE had this problem (as did someone else on the list I forgot who)
and the work around was to go in to Emerald Admin and remove the check box
on
Client / Reports/"Force client to only use global reports"
As long as you remove all rpt files on all the workstations the clients will
use
the ones on the share directory.
The problem only appears when you click "print" in the batch screen.
The print individual invoices works fine with the force client option.
Hope this helps
