October 15th, 2006 - I have just releaed Problem
Solved! 2006. This new version adds some integrated charting, the
ability to send email from the Update Problem screen, and more.
The mini http server has not changed and it is still the easiest way to
allow end users on your Local Area Network to submit support request
via browser. If you have tried to set up IIS and .ASP pages in
the past, but struggled with things like permisions, Problem Solved!
2006 may solve that problem for you. However, many organization
just use the windows application. As with all of my IT Help Desk
Programs, Problem Solved! 2006 is sold as a site license - as your
staff grows there is no need to buy an additional user license - you
may use the same registration key for as many staff members as you
have.
Over the last seven years I have been pleased with the
number of organizations who have selected Problem Solved! as their
software for managing smaller IT Help Desks and I have been glad to
receive emails from many who appreciate the low cost - high value in
this program. I hope this new version will be just as well
received as have been earlier versions.
Problem Solved! was the program I developed shortly after the release of my first IT help desk program, Been There, Done That!
Very similar, the main difference was (and still is) the inclusion of a
mini-http server. This allows your users to submit a web request
via their browser and update the database for you. Admittedly not
as robust as full fledged web servers, the attraction for many has been
the ease of setting up the web server. No web permissions to
worry about, no virtual web pages. Just click the Icon on the
Programs Menu and give your users a URL.
Always multi-user ready, version 4.6 adds a new look
and a number of improvements. If you need a more robust web
interface, and insist on a Microsoft Access .mdb format backend, then
you may want to consider the just released version 2.55 of our
AccessAble Help Desk Pro Edition.
An easy to use Windows Front End and a simple HTTP Server that does not require Active Server Pages, IIS, CGI-Bin etc.
Sometimes Less is More! Originally released in 1999, I have
just completed version 4.6 and have made every effort to make this
program simple to install, easy to use and easy to afford. If all
you really want is the simple ability for your users or customer to
submit a request for support which updates a database and then have a
simple "thanks" page displayed, Problem Solved! may be just the right
solution for your organization.


The HTTP Server does not require you to understand
things like IUSR_Machinename, read/write/execute permissions, in fact
you don't need to know any .html to use it. Problem Solved!©
may be just what you need. However, if you need more from the web
interface and already use or are willing to use Microsoft IIS you may
want to consider AccessAble Help Desk Pro Edition or AccessAble Help
Desk Client Server Edition |
