  • Dear Friends

    There is an opening for SQL Developer/DBA in Hyderabad, India having experience of over 2yrs so those seeking a change may please respond to plan2career@gmail.com.

  • Hey gyus,

    thanks for the product guide, shloud this not work in IE9??

  • The product guide should work fine with IE9. We've experianced some issues with Adobe Acrobat Reader - right click - open in New Window for PDF files might help. You might try download Adobe 10 reader as well.

  • If you are experiancing problems viewing the PDF files from within the tool with IE9, please try the following workaround

    1. Open Acrobat reader from the Start menu

    2. Go to Edit | Preferences and select the Internet category. Then check OFF the Display PDF in browser option.

    3. Close Acrobat reader

    Now, when you click on a PDF file within the Product Guide, the Adobe Acrobat reader will launch in a new window.
