July is Here<\/h2>\n

Last month saw the start of the Summer and also National Sunglasses day. We still hear the odd story that engineers are using ‘Spreadsheets<\/em>‘ and ‘Word-processor documents<\/em>‘ to manage their requirements. We can only sympathise with their misguided ways and revel in the fact that we (and you our dear newsletter readers) have seen the light<\/a>.
\nSo the only thing you should need your rose tinted spectacles for is to eat your Cream tea<\/a> while watching Wimbledon!<\/p>\n

This month (July 2017 Newsletter) we\u2019re highlighting c_io<\/em> and how it can be used to complement the functionality we’re more used to in WorkBench<\/em> and Web Access<\/em>.<\/p>\n

c_io<\/h3>\n

Using c_io.exe<\/samp> in a batch file means you can do many things whilst you are away from your desk or in the background while you continue to work. You can then add this batch file to be run by a task application during times you are away from your desk or work. This can be handy when needing to do backups of a single or many large databases.<\/p>\n

The executable can import and export everything in a project from single items to the whole project. It can use queries or different options to whittle down the required export. So a user can export all items of a specific type or just one to several items based on a query and or other set options.<\/p>\n
