[thelist] Spectra on W2K

[Michael Buffington]

I haven't done any upsizing of the sec. system.

I did get Spectra to install on a NT 4.0 system, and get past the security
test.  I'm still midway through the process, so we'll see how the rest goes.

One thing I did notice is that the Sybase Anywhere software that loads when
starting the webtop in NT 4.0 doesn't seem to load under Windows 2k (you see
the title in the taskbar for a split second, then it disappears and page
errors).

I intend to check it out a little bit further when time permits, and perhaps
I'll return and report.

I've never had problems running Spectra on Win2k, but of course, I could
have been lucky.

Is your adv. sec. system still using Access or have you upsized the policy
db to an enterprise db?
