With ND8.0, I was able to run multiple Basic Client sessions, thereby allowing me to work with multiple customers at the same time. After upgrading, when I try to open Designer from the Basic Client, I get a status bar message telling me that Designer is no longer available for the Basic Client and I have to run the Std Client to launch Designer.
Is there a way for me to launch multiple Designer DDE sessions?
Maybe it’s just me, but as a consultant, I find myself often working on multiple customer issues at the same time. Now, when the phone rings, I’ll have to switch id’s - which closes all my open windows - do my work - and then switch back and restart. (and then hope the phone doesn’t ring again)
I know it probably isn’t a simple thing to do, but if there was any way possible to be able to launch Designer DDE multiple times, it would really, really be a HUGE timesaver.
the issue is how many people does this effect? is it worth the major cost to make this work that way? So far it seems that answer is no.
I never switch IDs in Notes any more. I do all of my client dev in a dedicated VM for each client. that way I can have multiple client environments running at the same time. I prefer this option.
