We had the same thing. It turned out that we didn't have the barcode font (BC code 128) installed correctly. I had to remove and reinstall it via the control panel. It is available for download in the support section of Dydacomp's website. Alternately, I believe that you can turn barcodes off on those two forms

I found this in Yahoo! (which seems to be having problems ATM.)


Variable 'GLDONE' is not found.
Variable 'STARTVER' is not found.

We've gotten this message several times. Try this:

1. Find the Start.sav file in the MOMWIN folder and copy it to the desktop
2. Rename the Start.sav file (you've copied to the desktop) to Start.dbf
3. Copy the Start.dbf file back into the MOMWIN folder.

Or you can retrieve the Start.dbf file from the latest backup and overwrite
the Start.dbf file in the MOMWIN folder.

I have had the error, but it went away on a reboot, so I didn't try this.

I am still setting MOM up and have used it for less than four months, but:


2. Are you satisfied with Dynacomps support? How about their SiteLink support?

Datacom support... They are friendly, but useless.

Some questions I have had for them:
Q. Unable to run the client as a user other than Administrator.
Dydacomp's answer: Don't know. Your server must be set up wrong.
Actual answer: Modify permissions on c:\winnt\system32\foxuser.*

Q. When I access MOM in terminal services typed text doesn't appear
Dydacomp's answer: Don't know. Check Technet.
Actual answer: I'm SOL, guess I'll use TightVNC

Q. Can I use MOM over a VPN?
Dydacomp's answer: Yes
Actual anwer: No. You have to use terminal emulation

Can I customize a report? Change a value? How do I do XXXX?
Dydacomp's Answer: Call MOMHelpers for custom programming.

There is never any mention of opening a ticket or researching a problem. If you push the issue they will ask whoever else happens to be there.

Our needs are a bit different than many mail order companies, and if we stick with MOM we are going to end up giving MOMhelpers several times the cost of the software to get it working the way we need it to.

Has anyone used Mailware? http://www.core-tech.com/

I tried exporting our inventory to a .txt file from MOM, then imported it into another warehouse. It lists the items as 'unassigned' but seems to work otherwise. Are there any repercussions from this that I can't see?

The pick ticket has a 'VALUE' field that lists the total value of the order.

Yes, we are using 5.1.

We need a parts list to travel internally with the order, but the packing list will get mangled.
