Technical FAQs

These are general questions dealing with the technical aspects of FastLane. There are 11 items in Technical FAQs.

  1. I get a security library error message. What should I do?
     
  2. When NSF prints the proposals, do they print the proposal in color?
     
  3. I heard that NSF accepts only PDF Version 1.2 (Acrobat 3 compatible) or earlier files. While I know that I can create Acrobat 3 compatible files in Acrobat 4, why not just accept PDF Version 1.3?
     
  4. I cannot enter data in a FastLane field. It stops me from entering the last character. What should I do?
     
  5. When trying to print a FastLane form (i.e. pull up a form in Adobe Reader) I get "An Error Occurred While Trying to Use This Document" error message or a blank page and a "Document Done" message. What is wrong?
     
  6. After the proposal was submitted, I go into the Proposal Status Inquiry/FastLane organizational Reports application and get a message that the Proposal does not exist. What's happening?
     
  7. What software do I need to use the FastLane Proposal Preparation application?
     
  8. My program requires several forms that the Project Reports System does not support, like an evaluation report and data sheets. How can I include them in my report?
     
  9. How can I change my e-mail, phone and fax numbers?
     
  10. Should I keep on hitting a button if I do not get a quick response?
     
  11. Why is the Information Form not accepting my answers for the gender, ethnicity, and disability questions?
