Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    WAS Server only and not only questions?

    First, let me say I bought the WAS server. My questions probable should have been asked before the sale. As my babies would say � Whatever dad!

    What I bought is the A5v7 Web Application Server License. Now did I buy the Server only? What is the WAS NOT server only? If I combine my 10 user runtime with the WAS server do I then have the WAS NOT server only? Can I run everything (all WAS applications) without the run time?
    I want to run in-house applications on the run time & remotely update using the web server. Do I have the correct combinations of run time & WAS server? Your suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    OldTony:

    I may stand corrected but I believe you can add the WAS license to which ever version you choose.

    I don't believe it makes any difference where you load the WAS license as long as its only loaded on only one machine. You can combine it with another license or run it like we do with WAS only version.

      WAS requirements

      The WAS license can be installed independent of the full version and is stand-alone. I believe that I read that it is really noting more than a special runtime copy requiring a license but even if it differs, it like the runtime in that it can be installed independent of the full version.

      Any computer can be used as the server provided it is configured for the intra/internet so that other machines can access it. There are some system requirements for the WAS � The WAS Alpha 5 V 7 no longer works with units running on Windows ME or 98 according to Alpha�s site. Alpha also suggests at least 256MB of ram. Note: Operating system requirements are for the server only, the machine accessing the server only needs a compatible browser.

      I have found I can run a small database (2000 records), with a very modest machine (700 Hz Pent and 384 MB and old slow hard drive) by using my cable ISP and NOIP with fair response time but for more serous applications I would think that you would want more horsepower, memory and a faster drive.

          WAS is working well � Thanks

          Thanks for all the input. I have the new WAS server running & it works great. I am using a www.TZO.com account for my Comcast cable & the response is good for my need of demonstrating to prospects.
