Can Rowit keep track of two users..?? (I dont see any option for it) ..If not, do I need to do a seperate install for a second user and just name them on the desktop..?? :lol:

It is a free program to run on Concept2 PM3, that is excellent...I understand the program writer for Rowit won a Concept2 software contest with it...Here is a link for it...We love it...Except that it doesnt, or I cant figure out how to use two users.....

RowIt doesn't seem to store any data in the Windows registry, and all the data files appear to be stored in the \data sub-folder of the program installation directory.

You should be able to seperate the two users by simply making a copy of the entire RowIt folder under C:\program files\. The rest is just creating well named shortcuts so each user knows which instance to launch.

I can't speak for how it uploads to the C2 Online Log. It appears to grab information from Internet Explorer in the background, and it's likely that it uses some form of Internet Explorer control to load the log pages rather than a low-level HTTP implementation. Most IE stuff is stored in User Profiles, so you should be able to simulate different users by having different accounts on your computer (each one used to access a different online log).

hope that helps,
Mike
