Hi
Have just got computer back, having changed over from xp to windows 7.
All seems to be intact, and working well, apart from when I go to print out the years reports, which I do to ease my end of year accounting.
Comes up blank.... so have I.... any ideas?

Thank's for the link to LION. Can't believe I didn't find the tape.... I looked twice, as i was sure they had it!!
Alas.... too late, I ordered some this morning from David's link (and a few other bits too!)
I'll know next time.....
Jay

Ahhh..... thank you.

It helps if you know what you're looking for!!!

Jay

Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier of black linen/cloth/fabric tape? I just assumed (wrongly?) that LION supplied it (I'm sure they used to) Search after search and I've come up with nothing but good old bike handlebar tape! It's to finish the edges of the "coaster" job tha...

Perhaps masking and using a roller would get a smoother finish?
I don't doubt this could be a tricky one.... Will have to do a bit of experimentation methinks!!

Thanks for all the replies thus far.... Sorry, been on holiday (sort of) so taken a while to get back. I have 2 "coasters" with broken glass to paint and replace. Problem is, I will have to match as closely as poss to the originals, as there are another 4 to match. Basically , there is a s...

Evening all....
Can anyone recommend a black and a gold paint for use on glass?
Also suppliers please.
Cheers
Jay

I use Flangers, also in Lion Catalogue.... Part no 2982 or trial bag Part no 2985

Cheers Guys.

Got a topic reply notification from John and only then thought about the fact that I wouldn't be able to read it!

Whatever it was - it's been sorted. Thanks for all your help

Now for a quick fix along with lunch...

Jay

Hi John Hope you can help here. Have been away from the forum for a couple of days and on my return I am unable to read any posts. The Index is still as normal but when I click on a topic there is nothing in the text box apart from the signature (?) on the right hand side. I am on a mac (safari) I a...

Hi Ann

Really sorry to hear your bad news.

Hope you are up and running again soon!

Good Luck

I agree with you..........

At no time did I say I used this function for customers that were a PITA - it's the name that was given to the function button and I use it for all sorts of reasons to increase/decrease a job/jobs by a specific percentage.

Jay

Hi John

Please don't get rid of this invaluable button - I use it regularly!

It works perfectly well on single jobs, and I would rather input them all singularly than lose this function.

Come on then, hands up all those who use this function.............or is it just me?!

Jay

When applying a percentage increase with the PITA button, is there a way to invoice several of the same job without the original price ( x however many) being shown on the invoice followed by the total price (inc % increase) - try explaining that one to the customer :shock: I really would prefer not...

Hi Jan

I use NFU and find them very reasonable for public and product liability.

No Buildings Insurance for me as I rent.

Jay

Yeah....like PIN number

Hi Grahame
Did Will sort you out with moulding?
Have just had a look and I have a small bag of assorted offcuts.
There would be enough to do the frame, although I have no idea if they are all from the same batch.
Jay

Hi Grahame,
That's a real shame - it was a good subtle grey/blue - very useful on an occasion.
Will have a look (prob Wed) and see if I have any stock left.
Jay

Grahame
Have you tried A&T.
It looks like a moulding I buy from them.I am not at home so cannot check.
Good Luck
Jay

Hi Adam I would just like to 2nd what Prospero said. I have been a home based framer for 11years and have used NFU Mutual for that time (Public and Product Liability) Never had a problem with them, and never had any reason to change.(I also have my house contents insurance with them - cheapest aroun...
