I run from a share for PCs. I've never had any problems. I have had files locked up and unable to submit, but a call to tech support usually takes care of it. > #3: We have mulitple buildings and I plan on installing the map server > software at each building.

You'll see some weirdness when bringing in student data, like frozen progress bars, etc., that make it look like the thing has frozen or crashed. You pretty much just have to walk away and wait it out. While we have some beefs on the administration side, the student side and actually taking tests has always been smooth. And admins do like the reports. Mike | Subscription info at http://www.tech-geeks.org |
