RE: [Summary-Talk] Issues from a customer header/footer.

["Ball, Dan" <dan.ball@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ahha, OK, that worked out the buttons issue, but the password issue
remains a problem. I already had "Allow all access to sub-report list"
turned on.

Thanks for the help on the export tho, it got one person off my back :)

You need to explicity include the export to excel button in your custom
HTML header. If you forgot to do that the feature will have
"disappeared". See the example in the manual,
<http://summary.net/manual/configuration.html#custom1>, and look at the
%%%buttons command (or %%%spreadsheet-btn instead if you want).

You probably have the sub-report list set to require the configuration
name/password. If it fails to get a valid configuration name/password it
will take you to a specific sub-report. Try turning on "Allow all access
to sub-report list", on the Options configuration page.

Good Luck

a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
