Sage print screen disappearing

  • 1.  Sage print screen disappearing

    Posted 06-19-2024 13:53

    Have 2 clients this week (both on 2023) who have multiple users reporting that when they go to print, they click on print and the screen disappears and they have to start all over, sometimes multiple times.

    Anyone else have a report like that?  I'm checking now to see if it's via a Term Server or direct connect - I know the one place uses a TS for their 2nd location but I can't tell from the emails which location people are in, so I'm tracking that down.

    --> they click on print and the screen disappears and they have to start all over, sometimes multiple times.

    Are they exited out of Sage 100 entirely and then have to restart Sage 100 -- or is it just the printing dialog box that closes and they are still in Sage 100?

    Is this on Standard or Advanced/Premium?

    Sorry, I wasn't clear - they just have to choose the print screen again from the menu.  It doesn't kick them all the way out.  One is Advanced and the other I THINK is Standard but it's the one I'm waiting to hear back from and it MAY also be Advanced.  I don't have remote access to it to check.

    One time I have seen odd things like this  is if the customer is using Sage as a published app and for some reason a portion of Sage crashes. I've almost always had to have IT reset the session and it doesn't sound like this is your issue.

    My first thought with something printing related is a bad print object, or a bad print driver.

    If it's a remote desktop environment, try it without sharing printers with the remote session, and see if the problem disappears.

    Follow up - one system is using a Terminal Server and they rebooted it last night.  The other is NOT - everyone is connecting directly, which is even weirder.

    Along the lines of Kevin's comment....  I would try turning off "Let Windows manage default printers" if that's enabled, and then manually set the default printer.  If the issue still occurs then, as a test, try setting the default printer to something generic like "Print to Microsoft PDF".

    Good thought on the Let Windows check box, although it usually causes other issues and should have been caught already - but you never know.

    Latest on this - I've added another client to the list and today - it happened to ME.  I am on 2024, and I went to print my Sales Journal.  I selected 2 batches, clicked Proceed, then clicked Print on the Sales Journal screen and - it disappeared and nothing happened.  I went back in and selected again and it printed this time, so it didn't think I was currently doing it.

    I checked my Windows Logs and found a BEX64 event for program pvxwin64.exe and pvxsec64.dll at that time. I'm going to start a case with Sage and ask my clients to check their logs to see if they are getting the same event when it happens to them.

    Could this be some type of bug with 64-bit Sage 100?

    Starting to worry that that is the case.  One client is reporting that it is also happening when getting into screen, not just printing.  Error indicates stack buffer overrun.  I've just sent more details to Sage - waiting for the next client to say it's happening to them... gloom

    @Beth Bowers do you have the case number?  I just installed a couple of 64-bits and will reference your case if I have issues.

    @Susan Pawlowic - yep, it's 8010128597. I'm wondering to myself how many times I clicked on something and got side-tracked (SQUIRREL!) and it didn't run but I thought it was me...

    Maybe caused by the Application Scaling setting or screen resolution?  You may try lowering the screen resolution and or changing the Application Scaling setting if that's relevant.

    I don't know if it happens often enough to be able to track whether that even fixes it.  So far, it has been reported on Forms, Registers (me included), and screens. None of it happens consistently.  Thinking memory leak or something...
