Tabbles - a User Story beginning from Scratch I've always wanted to use a document management Software like Tabbles to easily retrieve my documents, photos, and whatever files I have on my home network. A few years ago, I realized this wish for my photo collection. The name of the software is „Thumbs+". This allowed me to "tag" my photos [...]
Upon a user request, we tried creating and running a Tabbles database on a Microsoft SQL Server Express 2008 R2, installed on a Windows 2003 SP2 - and it worked just fine!

(Windows authentication only allows you to [...]

How can I configure Sql Server to do that?" 2) I am a single user, but I need to access Tabbles from several machines. How can I configure Sql Server for that?" [...]
Hi all, this replies to a frequently asked question. Sometimes, when installing the latest version of Tabbles, you are asked to "upgrade the database". (This is needed because Tabbles 3 is client-server, and upgrading the client does not automatically upgrade the database.) It turns out you can do that with a couple of clicks. Here is a short video to [...]
