Confused....

[dimeco]

I bought the TSMaker from the WSO (and got the TSBExpress as a bonus).

I've started going through the documentation, but am a little (:confused:) confuzzled.

Since TSMaker is for my personal use... I was going to work with TSBExpress instead - but for the life of me I can't figure out how?

While it seems to have a bit more, it doesn't have the same options as TSMaker does.

i.e., your instructions talk about adding in the templates... I can pretty much do it in TSMaker (although the article system is completely empty with no records to test with when I run it or try to work withit), but in TSBExpress, nothing loads?

i.e., there IS no "file" option except to save and close or save and new... there is no "location" to find anything.

I'm pulling my hair out here.

Do I create in TSMaker or TSBExpress?? If I create in TSMaker, can I transfer it to TSBExpress or do I have to recreate the whole thing?

I am not a programmer by any means so please bear with me (but I understand the concepts basically, my hubby is a programmer and I have exposure that way).

How on earth do we "open" files to work with? Please help?

Also, as one other person mentioned... there are no instructions as to how to work with the demo templates. (Perhaps I'm asking the same question as above? LOL)

Please help before I pull my hair out LOL (I am sure it's something simple but...) :eek:

Hi Amber,

The layouts for TSmaker won't work with TSB Express. As stated, those are for personal use and not for you to resell.

You can play around with this layout that I posted here:

As I said before, the way to build your software is the same throughout all the programs.

Concentrate on Software Objects (windows), Property Editors and relationships. That is what will build your software programs.

These are the same regardless of you using TSmaker, TSB Express, or TSB Professional.

The best way is to watch the TSmaker webinar replay I posted here:

Concentrate on those three areas and you will be building software very fast.


Time to get some sleep. :)

Thanks Thomas - I'll go through the webinar :)

Can't wait to get really going with this! (I have a list of over 50 software apps to make so I'm antsy :D )

Awesome! I always wondered why some people just can't think of any software to create. I never had that problem and it seems you don't either. :)

hehehe - no, the problem I've had is definitely that I HAVE the ideas... it's getting the implementation done :D

Reading a new report FK just put out gave me even more ideas :cool:

It's a holiday here in Canada - and it was wayyyy too nice to stay in (not when family is home anyway) - but I'll be tackling this tomorrow when everyone is gone to work/school.
