Question CMPS vs. Dynamic

[fozo]

Hello,

Sorry if I opened thread in wrong section. I have a question regarding to your two popular products, CMPS vs. Dynamic.

I am choose to run the CMPS for time being to get a feel of it. Then, later on in time, I change my mind and want to use the Dynamic. At that time, what is going to happen?

1/ Do I have to uninstall CMPS to install Dynamice?
2/ Or install Dynamic will override the CMPS?
3/ Do I need to redo/reconfigure everything for Dynamic once I already installed the CMPS?
4/ Will there be a free upgrade for Dynamic? How long? if not, will there be a renew fee? yearly?

1). No. vBa CMPS and vBa Dynamics are completely separate products and can both be run at the same time.

2). Nope, see #1. ;)

3). You would need to modify your settings and such since changes to vBa CMPS would not affect vBa Dynamics, and vice versa.

4). A license grants you access to the Members' Area here for 1 year, so you are allowed to download any new versions that are released within that time. After 1 year, it is $14.99 to renew your access for an additional year.

Thanks Brian. In other word, will Dynamic version cover all CMPS features?

[Brian]

No. They are different products for different purposes, so vBa Dynamics is not going to have the exact same features as vBa CMPS.

oh no... now I have to find out which version suites my need. So hard to tell thou, for a new vBer like me.

So, CMPS is more like a portal/frontpage to me.
I am still find the use of Dynamic here....

Since "what's the difference" questions seem to be becoming pretty popular, I posted a new thread in the vBa Dynamics pre-sales forum that hopefully will clear that up a bit.

Thanks Brian. That helps me to understand more about these two products. However, I am looking for a hack that can produce such similar to this page: http://www.ngoisao.net/News/Home/

Will one of your hacks do that?

[Brian]

It would definitely be possible to create a homepage like that with the CMPS, but would take a good bit of work and knowledge about HTML and a little PHP to customize things.

Thanks Brian. I'll try out the CMPS.
