Recipies in demo version??

Curiosity — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:10:27 GMT

I just downloaded the demo version and was trying to add a recipe, but the New Recipe screen just had a find box -- no way to enter a recipe (I watched the demo). But there are about 100 recipes already in the chest. Is it possible that that's why I can't add a recipe -- due to the 75 recipe limit in the demo version? If so, may I have a clean copy, please? I downloaded from the California site, if that makes a difference.

I'm really excited about this program. At last, a program for and by geeks! And spreadsheet-based -- Perfect! I LOVE how flexible it is.

Include one recipe as ingredient in another recipe?

acohn — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:19:09 GMT

I'm using Kdiet 12.6. Is it possible in this or later versions to include one recipe as ingredient in another recipe? I tried searching the forums for an answer, but the da**ed search function keeps tossing out important words that it considers common.

Upgrading to current version

callie — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 19:01:42 GMT

I am wondering if I should upgrade from my current 11.4 version to the current version. What would be the significant difference. And would I need to purchase the whole new version.

I love my diet planner...

3 Nutrients and calories

Sharvo — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 04:34:41 GMT

Hi Paul, long time no talk to. I would love to be able to plot 3 nutients (protein, Atkins carb, total fat) *and* calories on the same Quick Report. (Actually, I would probably plot 10% of calories to keep it in a similar scale as the other nutrients since I'm more interested in relative change that absolute total).

From what I see, I could only do that if I start tracking calories in the Help U Track. Or is there some slick trick that you can share? You usually have something up your sleeve

Thx,
Sharvo,

Reactivating Old Accout

akmatov — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 23:22:35 GMT

I purchased Kathleen's Diet Planner a few years ago and then got lazy and quite using it. Having just been diagnosed with diabetes, my interest in the details of what I'm eating has skyrocked.

What do I need to provide you to verify myself as a purchaser eligible to receive updates?

Also, I'm not sure (going to check), but the program might have been on a HD that crashed - at any rate I think I want the program running on my newer desk top.

Thanks,

William

Running custom reports

Totals grid

Richard — Thur, 07 May 2009 16:40:04 GMT

Hi Paul

When I have the totals grid turned on in the main window, I can click in the left corner to remove columns if I wish.
Is there a way to remove some of the rows - I don't want a breakdown of each meal, I just want to see the total and goal for the day.

Cheers
Richard

Export to Open Office?

rustyh — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 23:53:15 GMT

I will be purchasing Kdiet146, and was wondering if there are plans to be able to export to Open Office. I still have MS Office 03, but have recently started using Open Office, and find I much prefer it. I guess I could export to Excel then import to OpenOffice Calc, but was just wondering if it's in the plans or could be included in future revisions.

PrePurchase Questions

AuntieV — Thur, 15 Jan 2009 23:50:17 GMT

I have downloaded your demo and watched your tutorials. I still have a few questions before I make my purchase.

My mother is currently in the hospital.When she returns home she is going to be on a very restricted diet. We are not looking for a weight loss program but something where we will be able to make meal plans, track sodium, protein and water intake. She is also diabetic and we have always used the American Diabetes Association Exchanges when planning her meals.

My questions are:

Are any diabetic exchanges included in the current foods list?
Is there a way to print a monthly food plan?
I have been given a list of very low sodium,medium sodium and high sodium foods (about 100) but I am interested in building these lists as we work through this life change for her. Is this possible with your program?
It appears that I should be able to move the columns around so I would be able to see sodium and water content first but I am not sure if I would still be seeing the Protein, Carbs and Fats in the pie chart. Will they still show?
Do you have a printed copy of the user manual rather than a download?
Will I be able to alter the goals for the sodium, protien and water in her profile?

I am sure I will think of more questions but this should be enough to get me started.

Shopping List Report

Douger — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 06:35:59 GMT

I would like to know how I can add the Food Group field to the Shopping List database so I can create a shopping list that has the foods grouped together making shopping easier. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

nice to have

Hans — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 22:11:08 GMT

Hey Paul,

Not withstanding the fact that Kathleen's diet planner is the best program of its kind that I've seen, here are a couple of 'nice to have':
a) Although I have a wide screen monitor, I can't see all the data for a meal (or day) all at once. It would be nice to have a detail screen that displays all (suppress 0's if data is too much?)
b) I think I asked you this before with an earlier release. But is there an odbc driver available for the database? This would allow me to do custom reports in Crystal.

Cheers, Hans

Demo too limited

planz — Thur, 24 Jul 2008 17:44:06 GMT

I would also like to say that I believe your demo is to limited in functionality. The copy function was especially important to me.
I would also like to know if there is a return policy if after purchasing the full product, it does not do what were expecting due to the limited demo.

Copying Meals

planz — Thur, 24 Jul 2008 17:36:21 GMT

Hello
I'm new here and just using the trial program. Since the copy function is disabled, I can't test if one person's meals can be copied in total to another.

My wife and I are dieting together and with most software we need to enter everything twice. Our meals are mostly the same and I would like the ablility to copy meals from one to another.

Can this be done?

Thanks

Bug in Reporting Module HUT report

plagasse — Wed, 28 May 2008 04:05:14 GMT

Hi,
There is a bug in the Help U Track report. If you try to report on a date that is prior to 2005, the report will error out.

The cause of this is that there are three orphaned records in the Help-U-Track table that have no field names, so the routine that parses the parameters bombs because it can't do a search for null in a string. (These three records were discovered today and are from 4 years ago!! Hiding on me!)

Note: You can always run the Production Reports' Help U Track report by previewing the HUT report in the Report Designer.

This bug has been fixed. If you want to update your present KDiet and you have the 14.* series of KDiet, do this: (note this is only for the KDiet 14.* versions, this will not work with prior versions. If you own an older version, upgrade it first and then apply this patch)

1) Download the KDietReports1.zip file from this link:
http://www.betbyte.com/downloads/KDietReports1.zip

2) Rename your current c:\kdiet14?\KDietReports1.exe to KDietReports1.bad to save it (just in case)

3) Unzip the KDietReports1.exe in the zip file you downloaded into c:\kdiet14?\

In other words, replace the existing KDietReports1.exe with the one in the zip file but save the original in case, for some strange reason it does not work or you only get a partial download and end up with nothing that works and nothing to go back to.

There is no need to register or unlock this executable.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Paul
