    To err is human,

    To REALLY foul things up, requires a computer.

    Glad you got it all sorted out

    I’ve had this happen, but with Spaces.

    I usually just add a new control point and move that one. Then go back and delete the old control point

    A couple of other things you’re going to want to do is to keep the names of your Subject Column in the first table, the same as your Column headings in the second table.

    If you need them to be in a specific order, build that order in Excel, load it in as a connection only, then you can do a Reorder Table to list function.

    You could also do that report layout using a Pivot Table.

    You need to learn how to pivot and unpivot columns.

    that’s how you’re going to change that data

    What was creating the hyperlink? Is there some kind of margin setting in that particular program that is causing this?
    I’d personally just delete them all and run a fresh Batch Hyperlink

    I was able to recreate it fairly easily.
    What I do is have the text in the middle of the line, rather than above it. I think it works better personally.

    As for the wrapping, I think that has to more to do with the length of the text and where it lands more than anything else.

    Quick update.

    The Bluebeam team got back to us this morning. They had him do an Admin reset to his Revu and it worked like a charm. It even fixed another issue he was having with his OCR function.

    Crazy issue for sure, and a very frustrating one.

    lol… breathing

    Honestly, the problem here goes deeper than one person, although there is more or less one at the center of it.

    I did have a whole training program in place, but then Covid hit and we weren’t allowed to do any group training.

    you can easily create a Set drawing log, that includes the filepath if you need too.

    yeah, I saw the force download thing too.

    I’m thinking Bluebeam has a code that they use in the SharePoint integration.
    Are they willing to share that code though, that is the question

    yeah, that’s for O365 files… I’m already set up for that.

    The issue is opening a PDF in Revu from a hyperlink in Excel online.

    If the filepath is to our server, it opens fine in Revu, but because the filepath contains “SharePoint” it opens in a browser window.

    lol… I’m pretty sure its a SharePoint thing.
    If both my Excel file and my drawings are on the server, it opens fine in Revu, but when everything is on SharePoint, it opens in a browser window.

    I’m thinking there has to be something because there is an option to Open in Revu if you open directly from SharePoint.

    I’ll probably end up emailing the help desk at some point
