I know what you are saying about Medware. And yes, I can run it off a flash drive, or port to any old machine. But recently I have noticed that if you take the flash drive, or simply copy the entire Emedware folder to a machine that is not on in the workgroup, and then run Emedware.exe, it runs through some sort of utility program "compressing data files", and after a while it will run. Oddly, at least with the way ours is set up, you have to run As Administrator or you get an error that says "utilities in use", and it stops.
So, I don't know what that's all about, and I'm not going to waste any time on it, because I don't really care if everyone runs with administrator permissions.
The main thing is that Medware help desk was no help at all when we asked about SBS Essentials, though they are normally very responsive. Makes me think the new owners want to peddle something else that will be more "modern" -- the way it is now is probably not HIPPA compliant, it is so insecure.
I started using Medware when it was a DOS program, then networked it with WindowsSE, so I have watched its evolution. It's a very competent program now, but maybe not suitable for the 21st century.
What do you think AC will come up with? Will I be able to replace Medware, and combine it all into AC?
