 Posted: Sat Oct 16, 2010 1:03 pm Post subject: Note Page pro share database |
 |
|
Hi, we have Notepage pro on 3 computers using a license on each one, we have a file server with mapped drives, currently when I make a change I copy the database to the file server then copy it to the other 2 computers.
is there anyway to store the database in the file server so each pc would look for it there, that way one update would apdate all?

Easy - upgrade to PageGate. PageGate is designed for exactly that purpose. Another functionality you gain is the ability to send multiple messages to multiple recipients simultaneously through the use of additional connectors. It can also easily be integrated with your CAD system to automate the message creation process (less work for the dispatch staff)_________________ Aaron D. Osgood

| Well, there really isn't a way to have NotePager Pro do that since NotePager Pro is a single computer program. Our other program, as OzCom mentioned, is a server/client system that can do exactly what you want. |

yes it will do it and at a MUCH larger cost and with a ton of other features we do not need.
Obviously the program knows where to look for the database. So a change in that would probably do what we need simply telling the program to look for the database some where else.
probably actually very simple but I can understand tech support not telling me as they would rather make more money
Thanks anyhow

Not true - the problem (verify with your IT staff) is that database systems (no matter what flavor) are VERY particular about multiple simultaneous access. The reason why the Pagegate version costs more is that it was designed from the outset to have multiple users across networks sharing a common database. NotePager Pro was designed specifically for a SINGLE user on a SINGLE machine using a SINGLE outbound path, hence, the $29.95 price.
You also mentioned "much larger cost" - how many recipients do you have in your NPP database?
The pricing for PageGate represents a very good value - especially when compared to other vendors:
5 recipient License $ 150.00
10 recipient License $ 200.00
25 recipient License $ 250.00
50 recipient License $ 300.00
100 recipient License $ 350.00
5000 recipient License $ 500.00
10000 recipient License $ 650.00
20000 recipient License $ 800.00
30000 recipientLicense $ 950.00_________________ Aaron D. Osgood

uuummm I AM the IT staff, we do not have a need for simultaneous use, we never have a need to use it from more than one PC at a time.
plus we do not have a actual server set up we have a NAS that we share files across......for our use we would be looking at a price tag of around 350.00..............again page gate cost more because it has a ton of feature we would never use........ a program using a comon database is NOT an issue because we have 3 programs that do that now......so there is your answer from MY IT staff LOL
