The file downloads just fine but does not install correctly. The problem I have is that SQL Server 2008 Express does not seem to be able to load. Apparently SQL 2008 requires a Windows Vista/7 file to make it work that WINE cannot "recreate". </p> <p>I have been fiddling with Ubuntu for a while now to see if it would work as a replacement for Windows and I have been pretty happy so far, especially with the use of WINE. LSB has been my first program I was not able to load/operate using WINE and I am hoping someone may have tried before and found a way to make it work. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/exporting#post-1958 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 21:24:44 +0000 crosslutheran 1958@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>I just updated to the 2.0 version and CANNOT figure out how to export the service to a powerpoint presentation.

Is there any way to move the entire service to another day without having to redo the whole thing? </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/pointing-for-custom-elements#post-1940 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:53:15 +0000 GraceChurch 1940@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>I am working on a worship series that I hope to share in LSBX format (among others). Some of the Introits/Graduals are from propers appointed in previous hymnals but not currently available in Builder. (current version - 2.3.1.26192)</p> <p>I have seen in other posts that the "Create Custom Elements" tool in Builder is the same tool used to create the standard elements. As I'm typing in the custom elements, it would be nice to be able to point them like the other Introits/Graduals. The online documentation for Builder 2 does not include the "Creating and Managing Custom Worship Resources" for me to reference.</p> <p>Is there a way for me to include chant pointing in my custom elements? </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/lessons-in-lectionary-format#post-1909 Mon, 09 May 2011 10:42:51 +0000 sjohnson 1909@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Is there an electronic version of the Lectionary texts (the lessons) as they are laid out in the Lectionary volumes (either as part of builder or separately)? </p> <p>I appreciate how the lectionary lays out the texts - I think it improves the reading of the texts ... IF you have the opportunity to prepare before hand. I would like to email the texts as they are laid out in the lectionary to our lectors prior to the service in which they read. Unfortunately, lending out the lectionary would not be practical (especially seeing that we would have to lend it out to three different people each weekend).</p> <p>I realize that I *could* scan the lectionary and produce my own PDFs, but I would rather save myself the work (and avoid "potential legal issues").</p> <p>Kantor Stephen P.

My wonderful husband decided that I needed to have windows 7 on my computer. I warned him time and time again that he needed to back up everything for Lutheran Service Builder before he did anything. Well guess what! He didn't! So I am starting from scratch on my settings. Grrr, you would think the husband/Pastor would realize tat makes life hard on the wife/secretary :) </p> <p>Well anyhow I have about everything how I want it, BUT for the world I can't find where it is that you change the page size! We use 8 1/2 by 14 paper and I know there is a little box to check that makes it that sixe for everything you do, but I can't find it!

I wish there was a way to simply download the whole funeral service as on bulletin and edit it as need be -- or is there and I just haven't dicovered it? </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/concordia-organist#post-1620 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 19:04:33 +0000 Wayne M. Pask 1620@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>I'd like to add my encouragement for speedy restoration of the servers that supply the files for Concordia Organist. Holy Cross depends on Concordia Organist for our Advent and Lenten midday Worship Services since we do not have an organist for mid day services and this year we may not have one for the Lenten evening services. Concordia Organist was we,, received durning our Advent services and relieves me of leading our singing "Acapella"! </p> <p>Blessings in our Epiphany Lord,</p> <p>Pastor Pask </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/propers-only#post-616 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 16:28:35 +0000 pastorjoel 616@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>In LSB1 it was easy to get just the propers only. How do you get them in LSB2?<br /> I've tried to build a custom bulletin for "Christmas 2 B" using "empty service outline" and then dragging the needed elements in but it won't put in the collect for the day. I just want to print the propers only. What should I do? </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/collect-of-the-day#post-536 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:07:42 +0000 Bill Sabol 536@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>If I am creating a service from a blank outline, how do I include the Collect of the Day? I do not see an element for it, and if I choose the Collect element, I cannot locate collects for specific days of the church year. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/migrating-data-files-in-builder-2#post-1309 Wed, 20 May 2009 11:20:01 +0000 Rick Krueger 1309@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>I'm planning to install Builder 2 on my church computer this coming weekend. I have already installed it on my home computer (though I may migrate the program to a laptop later this summer).</p> <p>With Builder 1, I could copy the user.mdb file from church to a thumb drive, take it home and load it onto my home machine, so the data was the same on both installations. I don't see any obvious way to do this with Builder 2. Is there something I'm missing? Or will I just have to save all the individual services to move them? Thanks! </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/shared-database-location-and-additional-seats#post-1800 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 10:23:57 +0000 astro3ron 1800@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We're using vs 2.x for LSB. We have one seat installed/located on a machine (WinXP) and now want to install the other two seats/licenses to other workstations running WinXP. I want to put the database on a shared folder on our server (Windows Server 2003 R2) so that the other 3 workstations can access that database info. </p> <p>What folder on the server should I place the database, i.e., is a specific name required, like "..All Users\Application Data\Concordia Publishing House\Lutheran Service Builder 2\States" that's used on an individual machine? What files do I copy over and/or what procedure should I follow to achomplish that task?</p> <p>With three seats being used, what machine does the reporting and how is that set up?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Ron Woods </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/media-shout-font-size#post-1711 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 11:02:06 +0000 Mark Kocsis 1711@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>I set the font and size (Georgia 32pt)in themes and save the presentation, but when I open it in media shout it opens as Georgia 16 pt. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/prayer-of-thanksgiving-for-all-saints-day-is-empty#post-1520 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:46:11 +0000 Wayne M.

I noticed the refrain makes it into the bulletin, but the chant tone does not. This will be an issue for those who have not sung the "Song of Hannah" before. </p> <p>We've been using the hymnal more and more, so this normally would not be an issue. However, the service I am working on needs to be printed out. Thanks, in advance, for your time.

I was told it was in the works. Is this feature now available and if not is there a projected date it will be available? </p>
