KB00214 - Enable Merge/Filter functions

Summary :-
The merge and filter options are disabled by default in version 5.5 of FTR Reporter, FTR Log Notes and FTR Monitor.  They can be re-enabled using the following process.

Solution : -
Start the Visual Basic Editor using one of the following methods.
Method 1:

1.    Click Start, point to All Programs, ForTheRecord then SDK

2.    Click Visual Basic Editor.

Method 2:
If a start menu command is not available do the following:

1.    Create a shortcut to the affected program (FTR Reporter, FTR Log Notes and FTR Monitor all use FTRGoldMain.exe).

2.    Right click the shortcut and click Properties.

3.    Select the Shortcut tab and add -vbe at the end of the Target.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\FTR\ForTheRecord\FTRGoldMain.exe" -vbe

4.    Start the program using the modified shortcut and observe that the Visual Basic Editor is started with the program.
