| | We recently joined another company. They have their own pds and so do we. We're going to operate on their system but I would like to keep ours operational so we can access old files. Is there a way to operate two pds systems on my computer. Essentially having two Point icons each directing to a different server? Thank you, Derek |

| First I would setup for one server, then copy the winpoint.ini file to SERVER1_winpoint.ini and then setup for the other server and copy winpoint.ini to SERVER2_winpoint.ini. Finally I would setup a batch file (BAT or CMD or VBS) for each server with a corresponding icon on your desktop. The batch files should copy SERVERx_winpoini.ini over winpoint.ini and then run Point.
So you end up with two icons, each one putting the appropriate winpoint.ini in place before running Point.

| You might just want to take the data folders in your pds system off line and add them to the new pds system. That would be the simplest way.

| | You wouldn't happen to have samples of the bat that you recomend? I have this same issue and am sick of closing point, changing settings in admin and reopening point. Thanks in advance for your help. |
