Last week, I tested a Windows application one of my colleagues wrote. I was told before my test that it was working in the development environment. However, when I attempted to run it, it threw an exception every time  that says:
“Error: The application has failed to start because the side by side configuration is incorrect please see the application event log or use the ...

In a previous post, as part of building a interactive navigation menu, I discussed how to detect the section the current view is in and highlight the corresponding navigation menu item. This post finishes the work by adding actions that make the navigation menu stay on top of the view.

UI design is part of my daily work and I use Axure to build mock-up screens all the time. Recently, I updated the tool to its latest 7.0 version and noticed that some of the new features it offers are quite useful. What I found to be the most useful are the ability to pull or push adjacent widgets when a widget is hidden or shown, and the ability to break away the first sta...

In Intacct the underlining object for both Purchase Requisition and Purchase Order are the same. When a Purchase Requisition is being converted to a Purchase Order, a new PODOCUMENT record is duplicated and a few fields are updated as a result of the conversion.
