Technically it will pick up your NT login name but for me it’s the same as my GoldMine login name so it works great

Steps:
1. Go to your Goldmine directory.
2. Locate the file GM.ini
3. Make a backup (copy it and rename the copy)
4. delete the line in the [GoldMine] section that says user=…
5. Save the file.

The next time you open up GoldMine it should pick up your login name from windows.

Problem:
I edited the external stylesheet (CSS) for my GoldMine + View mini website I made but GoldMine was still using my old stylesheet. And there’s nowhere in GoldMine to push ctrl+refresh for GM+View.

Solution (Windows):
Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Internet Options, and press the delete files button.

This will delete the cached files from Internet Explorer and GoldMine’s embedded Internet Explorer used for GM+View thereby forcing GM+View to rerequest the previously cached files!

But of course there’s no way I’m going to ask everyone in the company to follow these steps every time I change the stylesheet, so the long term “fix” is to embed your styles in each page

Sorry bandwidth police!

There’s only one automatic way to do this which is provided by GoldBox. I’d say there’s a reasonable chance of success but all precautions should definitely be taken.

This is the approach I used:

1. Go to your fields tab.
2. Right click the field you want to lock.
3. Select properties
4. Use a Dbase expression to display the field instead of just typing in the field name. (see image below)
