>I am new to ebase and trying to determine if it will work with our organization. Are there any users on this list who have multi-users accessing their database online? if so, how is this working for your group?
>We do not have an office but we do have a reasonable computer literate group -- we would like to be able to access and update the data base from our home pc's. Ebase is a sophisticated application that goes well beyond things that are easy to do from a web based application. Version 2 may be better adapted to some web use. Because of the way that FileMaker accesses data, it is not suited to sharing the data from a server over the internet unless you have high speed lines. There are other approaches that work for some people. You can use a program like PC Anywhere to manipulate a remote database but that requires a dedicated machine per remote user or only one person at a time. You can also use MS Terminal Server and possibly the Citrix additions (for Macs) to remotely serve the data to multiple users. ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
