  • I can't understand why you can't save data from DataPage+, save it to a USB and view it on another PC... It seems like they really dropped the ball there. Some companies have global IT and if little Hajhi decides he doesn't want you using it, then he removes it. That being said, my PC for the CMM is off the network. So why would they make it a "server only" software?


    SQL server is a database management suite that allows you to host a database that can be accessed from any computer on your domain. Being a standard Microsoft package I've never seen IT professionals arbitrarily decide to remove it. Further more, there are about 6 different options for viewing data on another computer. You could use report viewer, you could back up the data to an XML file for just the part in question and import it on another version of Datapage, you could also just connect your database to a SQL server that is hosted on another machine and view the data remotely. Or you could export your entire database and import it on another machine. You could also detach your database from the SQL host machine and attach it on another machine.
