Re: how to work with 8ilite on a stand-alone notebook/PC?

Hello Karl-Stephan,
What I did is configuring the Oracle ODBC driver (Start/Settings/Control Panel). Maybe you should check these settings. I changed the Default Isolation Level to Read Committed and Autocommit to On. I logged on to the POlite Databse with User: SYSTEM and Password: MANAGER, Hoststring: ODBC:POLite and it worked. Only thing is that at start up the Internetconnect screen appears. I still have to solve that problem. At least I got a little bit further now....
