Guided On-line Tours of ZP SQL

If any existing ZP 32 customers are interested in learning more about ZP SQL please contact me to arrange an on-line meeting. I've got this new on-line meeting account and it should be perfect for giving tours of ZonePro SQL. All you need is a good internet connection and a PC with speakers. You'll want a microphone too if you want to talk back ...and who doesn't. Actually, you can dial into a phone number too but that option costs you long distance charges whereas the microphone option is free. I expect a typical tour would take 30 to 60 minutes depending on your questions. I'm anxious to try out this Go-To-Meeting software so let's do it!

Ease of Use Trumps Speed

I just posted updates for a few ZP SQL modules. There are a couple of minor bug fixes but the main change is that now the default Local Personalization settings optimize the system for ease of use.  Previously the default optimization was for speed. These settings are all found in the Local Personalization Options screen under the Performance section of the SQL Tab. All of the Performance options will now be turned on by default unless you specifically turn them off. In the eight months that ZP SQL has been in production use I have not had any phone calls about speed issues but several calls that were resolved by turning on one or more of the performance options. So it seems to make sense just to default to the ease of use optimization from the start.
