Hello,

Could someone help me about this issue ?

When starting Alex, everything is Ok, I can browse in libraries

When trying to open alex twice (starting Alex, and "new window" in file menu of Internet Explorer 6 (SP 1), I got after a few second an error message : page cannot be displayed due to the fact the new window try automatically to reach a internet site.

Regards

Rorni,

Thats wierd, it works for me and I have not changed any settings. I guess that you are running a stand alone ALEX without any internet connection?

Try to uncheck the option "Automatically check for Internet Explorer updates" in Internet options / Advanced if it is checked.

My next guess would be your proxy settings. Does it behave in the same way both with and without a proxy server defined?


Best Regards

Hi
In case Alex installed on the Webserver it is possible without any problem

If you use stand alone Alex you should use Netscape if you want to use multi window.
Or you can download from MS page Web Developer tools package.
It is very small ~500kB and use plugin: Open frame in new window.



 
Hello Kressmark, nethell

To Kressmark : you're guessing right . Alex is running locally on my PC and Alex Data are on my PC. Changing the proxy parameters does not help.

To nethell : Could you tell me the link of the plugin you're speaking : I don't find any relevant info on Microsoft site.
( It's worst with Netscape 7 : Alex does not start at all and tells me "Netscape not installed")
