No, not really. Unless I didn't come across correctly, all I really wanted to do was open my DB on another PC. I thought the question was a simple one to ask a forum of people who use it every day, and so was the answer. > It's my turn to be unable to understand the link that might exist between > your case and a professional services market base. My point is that the more people who are able to get up and running on their own, the more customers the service market will have. I would guess that a reasonable percentage of people who initially recognise they need an ERP system would google "free erp" or something like that and try a demo or shareware first. If they find something they like, they then throw money at it. At the moment I think, and I may be wrong, that many would turn away from Tiny because the first few steps needed to trial it out may be too much for them. Or as is my case, I have some rusty IT skills and XML ability, but very little time at the moment, but have been able to get myself up and running with only a few really frustrating moments, such as this one. If I was a complete noob I would have just gone with one of the other "cheap" systems like Catalyst or DBA and negotiated into the price the initail setup of forms and users. I appreciate the help I receive on here, don't get me wrong. I just think a more focused startup instruction or even a list of the most common startup issues would not only help new users, but would generate more paying customers for the service companies in the long run.
