Rhonda's Musing: I love going on vacation! But who doesn’t?

Written By Rhonda Sutliff, Product
Specialist at Rockton Software

It is always an adventure when we go to new places and try new things. Most people have done the typical vacation in the big cities with amusement parks, zoos, museums, and beaches. But I believe it’s the little places that we don’t normally think about, when considering destinations, which are the best. So, if you might be considering a non-typical destination this year, maybe one of my top five vacation destinations might intrigue you!

• Key West, Florida: Okay, I realize this is probably a destination you would think of, but it is my favorite vacation spot, and there is so much to do: snorkeling, sunset cruises, parasailing, etc. There also are a lot of museums; the Hemingway House with the 6 toed cats, and my personal favorite, the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, where you can see shipwrecked treasures. Plus, Key West is small, so everything is a hop, skip, and a jump away! 
• Camp Springs, Kentucky: I love visiting vineyards and wineries in the Camp Springs area; you can take the Back Roads wine trail and visit each of them. This tour is not something to rush through because there are historic houses along the way that date back to the 1800s—but don’t forget a designated driver! If wine is not your thing, the Newport Aquarium is only about 15 miles away; it contains multiple exhibits, and they have glass floors, so you can walk on the water. For shopping, I recommend heading to the Main Strasse Village in Covington, KY; it is a restored 19th century German neighborhood with cobblestone walkways.
• Savannah, Georgia: This may be a place you consider, but many people seem surprised that I vacationed here. Savannah is the oldest city in Georgia, so it makes for a great history lesson! It is over-flowing with historic landmarks, museums, and plantations. The neat thing is you have your choice of tours: walking, bus, carriage, and trolley. Of course, a historic city would not be complete without ghost tours, and there are plenty! But, my favorite thing about Savannah are the squares. I do not mean nerdy people, but rather the way the city is broken up; each square is surrounded by eight blocks. For example, the Forrest Gump bus stop scenes were filmed in Chippewa Square.
• Metropolis, Illinois: Yes, there really is a Metropolis city. This is the place for all things Superman! There is a giant Superman statue in town and a Superman Museum. Once a year, there is the Superman Celebration, usually the first weekend in June—you never know what celebrities will show up for the celebration!  
• Brainerd, Minnesota: This is closer to home for me (Fargo, ND), but it is still a great place to visit! It is known for the 26 foot tall, animated Paul Bunyan at Paul Bunyan Land. Although, this attraction is mainly for kids, adults tend to enjoy it, too. It includes amusement rides and a petting zoo. There is also the Paul Bunyan State Trail; the trail is 112 miles and links the communities around Brainerd together. Since it is paved, it is perfect for bike riding, walking, or rollerblading. But, my favorite part about Brainerd are the lakes for water sports like fishing, kayaking, and tubing. 

There you have it!  My top five vacation destinations that you typically wouldn't think of! No matter where you are, there is always something to do! It is up to you to make it fun! And legal, it should always be legal.

Setting Up a Launch Point in Dynamics Report Manager

Written By Rhonda Sutliff, Product
Specialist at Rockton Software

A partner of ours was attempting to set up a launch point in Dynamics Report Manager (DRM). He wished to print a Crystal report and to cancel out the Report Writer report, thus, being able to print his quotes from Crystal rather than Report Writer. He created his batch report within DRM correctly, but when he was printing the quotes from the Print Sales Document window the Print Destination window was still coming up for the Report Writer report.

In order to prevent the destination window, we needed to create a launch point that cancelled the window after the Crystal report has been scripted to run.

Launch Point Maintenance Settings Tab: 
On the Field Entered, you can trigger which is essentially the Clear button in the Print Sales Documents window.

Launch Point Maintenance Actions Tab:
You can set the following actions to run the Crystal report and to set up a Run Field Script to run the clear button. This will then avoid the Report Destination prompts for the Report Writer reports.

Now with this launch point, you can go to the Print Sales Document and print your documents using Crystal (or another report) rather than Report Writer.
