ERROR: File not found when trying to start ... The specified file could not be found. If the file is a form, then the form is not properly installed and should be forced to download again. For all other files, try re-installing the program to fix the error. If the error persists, visit our website support pages (www.etiforms.com) and contact us for help.
ERROR: Path not found when trying to start ... The path to the specified file could not be found. This type of error usually occurs when the file is missing or the file is located on a network drive that has been renamed or is no longer available. Verify that the path is correct and try again. If you continue to receive the error, type in the path from the error message and email it to tech support at techsupport@efficienttech.com. Or visit our website support pages for more help (www.etiforms.com).
Please choose an Active Rep Name. You have not selected a rep to create forms for. Choose a rep from the drop-down list in the upper right quadrant of the application. Or, if you haven't created any reps, choose the "Rep Info" button in the upper right quadrant of the application. If you recently installed your application and/or have not established any reps online, then login to the website (www.etiforms.com), click on My Account and setup a rep. After setup, run your update service to receive the rep name you setup online. Once you receive the rep name, you will be able to enter all remaining data for the rep.
You didn't select any forms. Please choose a form and start again. In order to Start Forms, you need to double-click on each form you wish to create, moving the form name from the left side of the screen to the right. Each form listed in the box under Step 3 will be created when you choose the Start Forms button.
CAUTION: The max number of forms that can be created at once is... When you select too many forms to be created, the application will not allow you to continue creating forms. This is a precaution taken to ensure your computer does not run out of memory when starting forms. If you need to start more than the maximum number of forms, then start the first set, and then select the second set and choose Start Forms again. Repeat until you have launched all the forms you wish to launch. Be prepared for your machine to crash - Acrobat requires a lot of memory to have more than 10 forms open at a time.

Setting Up Form Groups
ACTION CANCELLED: Group name not saved. Please choose another name and try saving again. You chose to cancel saving your group. If you wish to save your group, enter a group name and choose the Save Group button.
Group name already exists. Do you want to overwrite this group? This warning message is simply a reminder to keep you from accidentally overwriting a group when trying to create a new group. If you are modifying an existing group, then go ahead and overwrite the old group with your new one. Otherwise, cancel and enter a new group name and try saving again.
Please type in the name of your group in the Group Name box and try again. In order to save a group, you need to name the group. Give it a name that reflects the type of forms you have included in the group - e.g. New Client Account Setup.
No forms were selected to be in the group. Please try again. When saving a group, you need to double-click each form in the left-hand list you wish to include and make sure it appears in the right-hand list. All forms shown in the right-hand list will be saved in your group.

Update Service
ERROR: No association for file extension. Please make sure you have the ETI Update Service installed properly. The Update Service program is not properly installed. Try reinstalling your entire application to ensure the Update Service works. Also, open your Windows Explorer and navigate to the location where you installed the application (typically C:\Program Files\Quik\). Within that folder, try launching the UpdateService.exe file.
ERROR: An error occurred when trying to update this file: At times, a file may be in use or have an error that causes it to not update. Make a note of the file that could not be updated, run the Update Service again and make sure the file that could not be updated is checkmarked for download. If the error occurs again, contact tech support and indicate the file that could not be updated.
Your update file could not be downloaded. Please make sure you are connected to the Internet and try again. Each time you run the Update Service, it checks to make sure you have a live internet connection. The Update Service works very much like your Internet browser - if there is a live internet connection, it can download files. One way to make sure you are connected to the web is to launch your browser and verify that you can access the web. If you are positive that you are connected but the Update Service cannot find a live connection, then check your Internet Settings and the Update Service settings. If you use a proxy server to access the web, double-check your Update Service settings to see if you entered your proxy server information correctly. You may need to reset your Internet connection by either closing down and restarting the connection or rebooting your computer.
Some files could not be installed, because they were in use. Please close the forms library (not the update program), close all Acrobat files and click OK to try again. Or choose cancel and the files will be processed the next time the update program runs. The Update Service program runs independently from the Quik! application, which may cause some files to not be installed. The Update Service will automatically attemp to install the files each time it runs until the files are installed properly. The reason this message appears is typically due to one or more files currently being used. Make sure all the files are closed and run the Update Service again. If the problem persists, reboot the computer you have Quik! installed on and then run the Update Service before opening Quik!.
Your connection to the Internet may have been disconnected or the server is no longer responding. Please check your internet connection and try again. If you lose your Internet connection while downloading files, you will be prompted to check your connection and start again. When downloading updates, files are downloaded one at a time, so if you do lose your connection, the only file you lose is the one currently downloading. The Update Service will recognize that the file was not successfully downloaded and will try downloading again the next time it is run.
Are you sure you wish to cancel? NOTE: Some files may take several minutes to download and at least one file is still being downloaded. By cancelling the download process, you stop any downloads that are currently taking place. The next time the Update Service runs, it will attempt to download any files that were not successfully downloaded.
The last time you checked for updates was on . The Update Service tracks the last time you checked for updates and displays it in the interface.
ETI Update Service could not verify that you are connected to the Internet. Please check your connection and choose OK. Or, choose Cancel and try again later. Each time you run the Update Service, it checks to make sure you have a live internet connection. The Update Service works very much like your Internet browser - if there is a live internet connection, it can download files. One way to make sure you are connected to the web is to launch your browser and verify that you can access the web. If you are positive that you are connected but the Update Service cannot find a live connection, then check your Internet Settings and the Update Service settings. If you use a proxy server to access the web, double-check your Update Service settings to see if you entered your proxy server information correctly. You may need to reset your Internet connection by either closing down and restarting the connection or rebooting your computer.

Rep Information
You are about to delete the data for the current rep. Are you sure you want to delete this rep's data? (Changes cannot be undone.) When managing your rep information, you can delete all the data associated to a rep name. To delete a rep name from your system, login to the our website, click on My Account and manage your reps. After deleting or changing a rep name, run your Update Service to complete the change.
At least one Rep Number is required to start forms. Please enter a rep number before proceeding. A rep number is required for forms to be started, even if the form you're creating doesn't require a rep number. This feature is meant to ensure that you have a valid rep number assigned on forms and to reduce the potential for processing errors when you submit your forms.

Caution! If you change which database you use, you will need to restart Quik!. Also, be sure to check your custom data map, as any data map customizations will be erased. If you choose to change your database connection after the initial installation, you can. However, be aware that if you decide to switch back your data map will be restored to the factory configuration. In other words, if you modified your data mapping between Quik! and your database, you will lose these changes if you decide to switch back to your original database.
Before you can use this feature, you must connect to a database. Please choose Setup Database from the Advanced menu. If you try to modify your data map before setting up a valid database connection, you will be prompted to setup a database first.
Please choose a contact management system before browsing for your database file. In order to browse for your contact management system, choose one from the list of available databases. If your database is not listed, then your database may not be supported or choose the database that most closely matches yours. If your database is not supported, check with our tech support team to find out when we will be supporting your database. Visit our support pages online at www.etiforms.com.
