    Version 5.0.0.3 is now available. The only change was adding the ability to export to Excel using the "Open XML SDK" which should support Open Office. Please let me know how it works, I have office installed on all of my PC's so I don't have an isolated way to test it under Open Office. Use...

    What is the goal of having the category? I would assume that you want to do something with the category after it is added.

    I am working on something now that will create Excel documents without the need to have Microsoft Excel installed. I hope to have it completed within the next couple of weeks.

    No, it will not overwrite any of your data (recipes, ingredients, settings, etc...) It will remember everything between installs.

    I wanted to provide more information about the “Volume calculation” checkbox. With it checked, the PG and VG percentages will not automatically adjust so long as PG + VG is 100 or less. When “Volume calculation” is not checked, PG and VG percentages will automatically adjust and always total...

    I am guessing that if you go to "Tools->Options" and look at the "General" tab that you have "Volume Calculation" checked. If that is the case, please look at post number 830 in this thread and it will provide the details of what that option does. If you do not have it checked, please let me...

    I would like to create a "live-update" however there are several technical issues I have to overcome, that probably won't happen anytime soon. I always post in this thread when I have made updates available. Also, you can always go to the "Help->Check for updates" and that will take you to...

    Any good hardware only kits?

    For PG based ingredients it is not a significant difference. For those people mixing with VG it can be significant and they will probably care. The difference in using 1 gram/ml and 1.259 gram/ml is 20%. Your VG base will be 20% lower than expected. That also means that if you are using VG to...

    Let me tell you the approach that I took with the backup processing and solicit your thoughts on what changes might be needed. The backup that I create is nothing more than a copy of the juice data file that you are using. The juice data file is the file where all recipes and ingredients are...

    Go to the "Tools->Options->Recipe Defaults" tab and uncheck "Don't show grams". You identified a change that I need to make. I should automatically uncheck the "Don't show grams" if you select preferred mixing method of grams. The purpose of the preferred mixing method is to make that...

    Assuming the 7.62 ml is PG, it is 7.894 grams on a scale. PG weighs 1.036g / ml. 7.62 grams would be 7.355 ml. Assuming the 7.62 ml is VG, it is 9.517 grams on a scale. VG weighs 1.259g / ml. 7.62 grams would be 6.1 ml. That could be a significant difference in your recipe. Use a calculator...
