MaxProg products in a network.

[Prodrive]

Hi Stan,

I have made two observations you might tackle in course of further development concerning the use of MaxProg products in a network environment:

1. As I wrote earlier, MaxBulk Mailer always tries to connect to a network volume when there are documents in the "recent documents" list stored on this volume. If I forget to delete the "recent documents" list before I leave the office, I am not able to use MaxBulk Mailer on my MacBook Pro unless I delete the preferences. MaxBulk Mailer always crashes searching for documents on the disconnected network volume.

2. MaxProg programs don't flag a network volume as being used when there is an open document. So you may disconnect form a network volume without saving the document first.

May be you can look into this in course of further development.

I am using Mac OS X 10.6.3 on a MacBook Pro.

Regards

Prodrive

Actually MaxBulk Mailer checks if the recent documents are valid before adding them. This is the problem. I guess removing this check would fix the problem but as soon as you select one of those remote recent documents you would have the problem. Please open a support ticket so we can work this out together.

2. MaxProg programs don't flag a network volume as being used when there is an open document. So you may disconnect form a network volume without saving the document first.

The problem is that MaxBulk Mailer close the document as soon it has been loaded. As a result that flag is automatically removed.
