Q. First Look Pro is a great program for Pre-Fire planning, but do you have anything for Law Enforcement applications?

A. Yes! First Look Pro version 3.0 has an entire section built into it just for the Law Enforcement industry. Fields for contact information, witness information, and tactical planning are just some of the features this new application will have. Check back on our website in the next few weeks for additional information on the release of First Look Pro version 3.0!

Q.
Can I import data from my other Pre-fire planning database?

A. Yes! There is now a data importer program available that allows you to import data from another database into First Look Pro. Data can be imported from Access 2000 or from an ASCII file, which most every database program can create.

The Data Importer is available for free from The CAD Zone, just call 800-641-9077 for information.

Q.
First Look Pro will not run and is giving me a run time error 10048.

A. Check to see if you have any programs running in the background such as Cybersitter.

If so, shut down the program that is running, or, as in the case of Cybersitter, uninstall it.

The error is a Winsock Error, and First Look Pro is trying to "Listen" for incoming messages on a Port, and Cybersitter blocks this, so First Look Pro would not run.

Q.
The viewer program is not launching from First Look Pro when the button is pressed.No errors are being displayed.      The Viewer path is correct in FLP Preferences, but when I go to re-select that directory, after clicking on the 'Viewer.exe' file, I get an error message that says, "Record set not updateable."

A. Open the file manager (My Computer) and log to the drive where your FLP is installed. From there navigate to the Program Files/ CAD Zone/First Look Pro folder. Locate the FLPcontrol.mdb file and right mouse click on it. Select Properties from the pop-up menu. Look at the bottom of the toolbox and un-check the "Read-only" option. Repeat this process on the FLPdata.mdb file. Re-boot your PC.

Q.
My diagrams do not show up in the lower-right hand diagrams window in First Look Pro.

A.  First Look Pro has an .ocx file that must be registered with Windows before the program will function properly. If one of the .ocx files is not registered your diagrams will not show up in the lower-right hand window and you may receive an error message.

The file that must be registered is called:  cadzoneocx.ocx.  Please note that these instructions assume you have copied the cadzoneocx.ocx file into your \Viewer folder. If your .ocx file is located elsewhere (i.e. in your \Fire Zone folder), then adjust what you type into the run command to reflect the file's actual location.

To register this .ocx file, make sure you close all programs and then follow these instructions:

1) Click on the Windows Start button (lower-left corner of the desktop).
2) Select Run.
3) Next, you need to type in a command line that will "Register" the file cadzoneocx.ocx on your computer. The line you type depends on which version of Windows you are using:

If you are using Windows 95 or Windows 98, in the Run text box enter:

c:\windows\system\regsvr32.exe  c:\viewer\cadzoneocx.ocx

If you are using Windows NT or Windows 2000, in the Run text box enter:

c:\winnt\system32\regsvr32.exe  c:\viewer\ cadzoneocx.ocx

If you are using Windows XP, in the Run text box enter:

c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe  c:\viewer\ cadzoneocx.ocx

4) Click the OK button to run the command.
5) You should receive a message saying the command succeeded. Click OK.
6) Re-start your computer. Now launch First Look Pro and the program should run correctly.
