I'm happy to point out that this has been updated, and it now works with Server 2012 as well as the Windows 8/8.1 series.

Tim Massey That said, a little over a month ago (I think) somebody did an excellent job of documenting their experience and the issues they encountered on this mailing list. It's on my to do list to add that to the documentation. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this When I was dealing with Outlook clients, I simply instructed them to close down Outlook before they left for the night. That way the file isn't open and BPC can back it up. -- Bowie -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
