I'm at a point where I want to print out all my macros, triggers, timed events etc. Just in case my computer crashes I want to be able to recreate everything. Screen printing doesn't work well because, of course, it just prints the screen, not everything in the macro. Is there a better way?
Second question, when I'm backing up PH, what files should I backup? The entire PowerHome directory? Anything else not in that directory?
Thanks.

All you would really need to backup is pwrhome.db.
That has all your macros, units, controllers, formulas and everything else stored in it.
What I do is have powerhome automaticlly back it up to a flash drive.
Its a timed event with the following as the formula.
ph_backupdb ('f:\pwrhome.db',1)
you can change the path it saves to to whatever you want. This way you have automatic backups without having to think about it.
If you need to recover, just reinstall powerhome and drop your db back in the c:\program files\powerhome\database folder and you're back.

AFAIK, there is no direct printing support yet. For now, you can print the timed events from a browser using the PH Timed Event Maintenance page.
I have also started working on a psp page which lists out selected macros. Using this, you could then print from your browser.

You should also backup your pwrhome.ini file. This file contains various settings such as window sizes and positions as well as Webserver settings, preferences, and the like.
There is no "direct" printing support currently. You could connect to the PowerHome database via any SQL enabled application such as Access, Excel, Crystal, etc. and write nicely formatted reports.
You can also use the "Script Editor (SQL)" section of the PowerHome Multi-Editor to select data from the PowerHome database and print from the resulting SQL Query Report. This is raw data though and probably not quite what you're looking for. You can also export data from the resulting SQL Query Report in a variety of formats such as SQL (which has the advantage of being able to be reimported into the database), CSV, Text, Excel, etc.
Also, as Tony posted above, I know he has put together a simple PSP page (I believe the code is on the forum somewhere) which does some formatting of the macros for you.
I'll make a note to add printable reports for this stuff.
Dave.
