Q: Is RTG Conflicts compatible with Windows XP?

A: Yes, it works well with Windows XP. In fact, we highly recommend the use of Windows XP (either the Home or Pro versions).

Our experience has been that, when your computer hardware is working properly, Windows XP does not crash. That's a tremendous improvement over Windows 98 and Windows Me.

Q: Is there a network version of RTG Conflicts?

A: There is only one version of RTG Conflicts. Yes, it is network-compatible.

We don't have a single-user version and a separate multi-user version. RTG Conflicts is always multi-user, which means that several people can use the program at the same time.

However, you need a User License for each user. One license is supplied with the purchase of RTG Conflicts. If more than one person will use the software, you need to purchase additional User Licenses. You'll find further information here.

Network installation instructions are here.

Q: What is a relational database?

A: RTG Conflicts uses a relational database to store your data. A relational database is an efficient, reliable way to store information.

In a relational database, information is stored in tables. Each table is similar to a spreadsheet: it has rows, which are called records, and columns, which are called fields. For example, a client record contains fields for the client number, the client name, and so on.

What makes a database relational is that the records in different tables are related by shared fields. For example, a fee transaction record is related to a client record by having the same value of the client number field in both records.

The word database is commonly used in three different ways. It may refer to:

1. the software used by a program to "talk" to the data (e.g., the Microsoft Jet database engine);
2. the file or files that contain the data (e.g., Rtgconf.mdb);
3. an application program for manipulating data (e.g., Microsoft Access).

RTG Conflicts uses the Microsoft Jet database engine, which is the same database software supplied with Microsoft Access. However, we do not use Microsoft Access itself. The RTG Conflicts database is stored in the file Rtgconf.mdb.
