Application running on a network

[lembi2001]

I am making an app for work which mnitors the status of high priority calls (i work on a service desk). The problem is the way i have it setup at the minute is only working for one person at a time.

I want it setup so that the main application can sit on the network receiving the data. this then displays on all running instances of the client app.

The problem i have is i have no idea how to set this up and if it is even possible.

The current setup of the application is here:

Ahh... A subject close to my own heart...
You need to use MooClick or the network object.
so when someone posts a ticket everyone on the network gets a copy.. There is a Moo Chat tutorial you can work through.

If you can't get approval for using the network then you could just save the list to a network share (probably less hassle)

Just get your app to save to \\computername\share\slatxt.inf or whatever.

And organise your app to look to that location say every minute for changes.. and update if needed before another user posts their own ticket.

Make sure you allow security access rights to allow people to read and write to that share location.

Have fun.

I made some small apps for the business I used to work for, one made sure that certain settings were applied when logging in and the other provided a small panel with current users and news that pushed across the network.

I tried getting them both to work with Moo but never got any luck. So I ended up using a network share and using that to access and write data. Worked really really well.
