Hi Mark, This happens all the time, particularly in large companies, research institutes and schools. As the message says: you should contact an administrator and have the app installed by him or her.
Frankly, I think this isn't your problem. If the lab assistant wants to use your app, then the lab should order the admins to sort it out. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.7 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/za On 22 feb 2012, at 01:07, AcidJazz wrote: > We're running a large study with Canadian physicians.
