Question: I keep getting "Request failed" messages when doing name or judgement searches, is the system down?
ANSWER: If you are receiving a "Request failed" message doing a name or judgement search using Microsoft's Internet Explorer or an AOL modified version of Internet Explorer we recommend that you do either two things:

1. Uninstall the Browser software and reinstall it.

If this does not resolve the problem

2. Download and install Netscape Navagator and use it as the default browser. We have had no reported problems with it.

QUESTION:Several people in my office have tried to print a doocket and have been unable to do so. All that prints out is the box around the docket with no information.
ANSWER:Try clicking on the word "file" in the top left corner. click on "print".

Make sure that you have clicked on the frame in which the docket information is on.
