Quiz reporting via Email. Can I have your recommendations please?

Hi all,
I'm building a questionnaire via Captivate 4 which is to be distributed throughout all users in my organisation. For about half of the people I am able to distribute this quiz via a LMS so that I can get the tracking/reporting back via SCORM 2004.
Unfortunately I am not able to use this method of tracking for the rest of the people (who are stationed in our retail branches). The IT network bandwidth in these branches are so small and already occupied by other softwares, our IT team would not let me use the network (or the LMS) to distribute the questionnaire. The only option I've got is to save the questionnaire package in each branch PC and use the Email reporting facility on Captivate to get the scores back from the learners.
So I want to find out from other users (like yourself!) about how your experience was with this Email reporting feature (if you have used it at all). Browsing through Adobe Captivate forums (including this one) I am got the vibe that its not a very reliable function. Saying that.. most of those threads are quite old (posted couple of years ago). So I am hoping whether Adobe have fixed any of these bugs by now and if this functionality has become more reliable.
Your opinion / experience will be much appreciated
many thanks
Jay

You'd have to try harder than that to offend me.
My personal bugbear is people getting blamed for things that are not their fault, especially when no apology is forthcoming to the people maligned. It's not me you need to apologise to. It's all those hardworking souls at Adobe who you claim "let you down" for something that was most likely totally outside their control.
Let's say for argument's sake YOU were Adobe, and you include a feature in a software app, because people said they want it, and then this feature doesn't work for reasons that are NOT your fault. Wouldn't YOU feel YOU were being unfairly treated if someone said it was YOU that let them down when the real reason is something else? I definitely would.
Adobe isn't going to step in and tell you you're being unfair. But if that's the way I see it, count on me to defend them, just as I would defend YOU if I thought you were getting a raw deal from another person on this list.
I don't have a problem with people complaining about features in Captivate that genuinely don't work as advertised. I've done that myself. Ask anyone on the Captivate DEV team or the Pre-release team.
So by all means express your opinion. This list is as open as any you'll find in the IT world. Just don't count on everyone here agreeing with you when the facts don't support your allegations.

Hi, can i have your help please???

Hi, i'm gabriele, i'm 16 years, i'm frome Rome. One month ago I've bought an iPhone 5S black, but it's defective, has a some software problems. I've restored it 12-13 time, but nothing. I've take a meeting with Genius Bar , Saturday 20nd July. I hope that they will replace my iphone...but more than I can ask him to replace it, can i ask them to change color? black -> silver? I think I have the right, as I also have a two-year warranty...thanks. Gabriele

The repair or exchange is like for like.
You can, depending the ARS, get a credit for the purchases of a new iPhone if you turn in the old one.

Can i Have Your Attention Please !

I need all of your suggestions immediately,
I am using AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3.0 Ghz. So i will be upgrading to AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8Ghz.
Now before i upgrade, Do you think it will perform better than Athlon X2 6000+ in Games ? ( I'm Not gonna Overclock the Phenom II, I'll use it at factory clocked ) & i play games most of the time.
My Specs are:
AMD Athlon X2 6000+ @ 3.0Ghz
MSI K9A2 Platinum Bios Version 1.7
Please People don't just read the topic, reply me. Your suggestion will be very much appreciated. Thank You

every one i really appreciate your suggestions & helps,
Bas I'm sorry for not giving my complete specs & windows etc so here it is;
AMD Athlon X2 6000+ @ 3000 mhz
MSI K9A2 Platinum Bios v 1.7
His.Tech Ati Radeon Hd 4850 512mb
2x2 gb kingston 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1v
Corsair HX 520watts Psu
22 inch LCD by View sonic.
Windows Vista ultimate 32bit.
My problem is that the games mostly like crysis etc lags, not just even lags! it lags ALOT.
As i got some advice from a friend that most of the games are good to be played with Nvidia cards, As i did experienced Nvidia 8600gt
Which was a very very good card. After the release of Ati radeon 4800 series, i decided to get 4850.
Honestly i did expected the card to run most of the games @ 1860x1050 resoluton & all the high settings. I'm Not saying i couldn't !
I did in some of the games but a few that were Nvidia based games like crysis etc which they prefer Nvidia than ATI.
When Mirror's Edge came out with Nvidia's physix, i was so sad that ATI doesn't have the support for physix, I really really love Mirror's Edge.
So now i decided to get a Nvidia card, so in my list 1st.....it was EVGA gtx 260 SSC (Super super clocked) which is far way better than ATI Radeon 4870 1gb,
215$ in newegg with mail in rebate, but when i heard of Gtx 275 to be released on 9th april, so i thought to wait & see what it will offer.
Anyways i guess i got my answer, i think i don't need the CPU 720 for better gaming which gives the same result as the P II 720 rite ?

Want to send report Via Email

Hi Zahid
From Forms 6.0, you need to call Reports using standard SRW.Run_Product call. Please refer to the product document for other SRw calls which can be used for Forms/Reports integration. In this SRW call, you need to sent the runtime argument to Reports. In your case, write a pl/sql code which would set the destype=mail, desformat=html and desname set to the email address for reciever which you would be fetching from DB in Forms application. And then send these arguments in the SRW call to run the Reports.
Thanks

I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, when I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon. How do I fix?

I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, and I'm using Mavericks OS. When I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, (doesn't matter if its safari, chrome or firefox or on my yahoo or gmail accounts) they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon and I can read it. How do I fix?

I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

Zahid,
reports6i sends mails where the Report itself is attached as a file in the format you specified. The support for sending a report as part of the HTML mail body is provided in Reports9i.

How many emails can I have on my account? Can I have client folders to customize for each client?

How many emails can I have on my account?
Can I have client folders for each client to access their own survey/forms?
Can I customize for each client?
Do we need multiple subcription accounts for this?

You need to have one FormsCentral subscription per email.
At this time FormsCentral doesn't support folders.

Apple Retail store said I would receive my iPhone purchase receipt via email but I have not received anything. What can I do to get my receipt?

I purchase a iPhone 6 today at an official apple store and when purchasing the phone, the employee said that the I will receive my receipt via email. Over 8 hours have passed and I have yet to receive my receipt. I have also checked the junk mail and it's not there. I paid by cash if this helps.

Give them a little more time. Especially over the weekend, staff are not always able to enter the details of sales into the records. Let us know when it arrives (or if it doesn't).

Bursting Reports via email with seperate email address for each page

I have been reading "Oracle® Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web" (most specifically chapter 15 Creating Advanced Distributions) trying to figure this out but still having difficulty getting my head around it.
I am trying to email invoices when applicable. Here is the "perfect world scenario".
Report is scheduled to run once a day.
Any qualifying invoices are picked up in the run.
If there is an email address associated with the record the invoice is sent via email. (email address would be included on report and variable)
If no email address is associated, the invoice is printed.
There could/would be several different invoices on a single run.
Does this mean I have to write dynamically write a distribution.xml file for each run or can I pass the email address as a variable to the distribution.xml?
(builder version 10.1.2.0.2)

Hi !
You're able to use Report-Variables (e.g. from a Group in the Data Model) in the distribution.xml-File to send email to different adresses.
Just bear in mind that you also need to set the "repeat-on" Property of the relevant layout section and use a "foreach"-Loop in the distribution.xml.
So, no, no "dynamic" building of xml-Files necessary (though we do it at times...).
See also "Publishing Reports to the web" for a complete reference on "burst distribution" and the components of the distribution.xml
I would, however, run the report twice, once for "all email-invoices" with email-distribution file, once for "all invoices w/o email-adress" with (probably) printer-distribution file, as "exception" handling inside a distribution.xml could be a bit awkward...
Cheers,

Send report via email as xls file.

Hello from Spain,
Sorry if this is not the correct forum. It's both a forms and reports question, but I think it fits better in the reports forum. I have queried into the forums for similar questions and found some threads without any replies around this same issue. I wish I am lucky today.
I have developed some web forms which generate pdf and txt reports. The latter ones make use of desformat=delimiteddata when calling the reports. They run fine. I have also developed one form which suscribes those reports to email addresses. To do so, I am setting those email addresses in the DESNAME reports parameter and setting DESTYPE parameter as MAIL. They arrive as an attachment with pdf or txt extensions.
Now, I am required to deliver those reports as xls files. I have been reading that desformat=spreadsheet would allow me to do so (as well as formatting the reports and make them look "cuter" than by using just delimiteddata), but have been unable to do it so far. When setting desformat=spreadsheet, reports are sent via email as html attachments, and when they are opened they look awful. Is there any way I can do this? It shouldn't be a too big deal, but I feel completely unable.
Thank you,
Fernando G.

Can I have your help about the software for apple

can I knew how I can change my security Question for apple account?
Am waitting your answer........

Assuming that you don't know your current answer(s), then from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password, contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in the country where you and your iTunes account are to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

Hardware Error Reporting Via Email

Hello All
I have a question i hope someone can help me out with.
what i want to know is if there is a oem and or third part software that would send you server errors (mainly looking at windows) via emails. For example: if a hardware issue was to arise with lets say a HDD or some other component and the error is logged.
Would i be able to get a program to send me that error via email automatically every time an issue arises with a any hardware component or software.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
what you really need is a monitoring tool. Something like say System Center Operation Manager, nagios, HP SIM...
Many OEMS (HP, Dell, IBM/Lenovo,..) offer specific tools and configuratiotns for server grade hardware. this mostly consists of an IPMI with some vendor specifics (think HP ILO, Dell iDrac,..). this is modelspecific hardware to monitor (and configure) the
hardware. Most of these can send out emails.
Yous should never rely on the local server (only) to alert you of problems; it might be on fire when it needs to send out that mail! Have dedicated monitoring hardware.
