Thanks for that. So if I read correctly you actually have separate servers for each location? Meaning you have each locations wpkg client software pointing to their local server rather than a centralized one? Then you just make changes to the central settings.xml and it propogates to the other servers? -- Donny B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
