As we all start a new year together I can only say that, despite the gloomy predictions, I see a strong future for records management.  Almost every day I am contacted by you with ideas for new features that will help secure new contracts.  As we strive to ensure our software is ready an able to help you meet those challenges, I am delighted to be the one who shares the information with you.  In the latest news section you can click on links to forum sessions where I am explaining each of the new features, coming soon, and provide you with an opportunity to give us your feedback.

This month I also got involved in another charity event.   As you know, our Strategic Partner Conference raised over $23,000 for a charity focused on children and healthy eating strategies.  I am delighted to be involved with PRISM International who has picked up the baton and started their first charity event.  You can read more about it in the Industry News section.

Finally, I am using the forum as a new place to post information and so you will see it featuring more and more in my correspondence.  I want to express my sincere thanks to our moderators: Martin Duty, Martin Cole, Jez Tibbetts and James Hill.  These are not O'Neil employees but users who see the benefits of creating an O'Neil Community and without their help the forum probably would not have gone ahead.  You can read how this is becoming a growing community in the What's New section below.

As always, I hope you enjoy this edition.

RSWin Upgrade to RS-SQL removed from our CD

Are they any RSWin users still out there?  If there are, please note that as of RS-SQL version 3.07, we will no longer be compiling the RSWIN Conversion program. The _dbco folder will not be included on the 3.07 CD.

We will include this information our 3.07 release notes.

Will Windows 7 Save Microsoft?

It's the start of a new year and, after using Windows Vista for most of 2008, I have to say that it's never quite lived up to my expectations. I am a strong supporter of Microsoft and their products, despite all the negative press. Just look at the success of Microsoft Office and its suite of products. I use them every day and they are incredibly reliable. Then take a look a SQL Server, the foundation of RS-SQL. It has grown from its humble beginnings to a fabulous, reliable, scalable product.

... but Windows Vista?

RSWeb.NET, Internet Explorer and alternative browsers

Many of you will have read about the recent exploit in Internet Explorer. Of course, this prompted a lot of concern for everyone and I received a few emails on the subject and why, currently, RSWeb.NET is only supported in Internet Explorer. As such, I thought that I should share my thoughts here...
