Quick Question - Toolkit

[DL_allainmfg]

I'm not very fluent with Pro/toolkit yet, however I intend to be. I have one major problem I have to address with the help of Pro/Toolkit...I think.

I want to know if it is possible to create a check in, check out, application with Pro/Toolkit. We really need this and the bosses are not to keen on dishing out the money for intralink, just because of overwrites.

I just need to know if it's possible, I wouldn't like to loose a weeks work to find out it isn't. Oh, and any help would be usefull if you use Pro/Toolkit or have programmed something of this nature in past.

Thanks

Sounds like you're looking for a simple solution for vaulting files. Well it certainly will take you longer than a week to write your own pdm. There are alternatives to intralink, many I've read about in this forum. Perhaps you should ask in the datamanagment section about alternatives to intralink.

Unfortunately I already have, and even the cheaper substitutes to intralink seem to be too expensive. So you say more than a week, would it more like a month or a year? I'm not looking to create an entire PDM. Just the Vaulting part.

Sorry but I don't have any idea what you intend to do so I don't know how long it would take. Hopefully we get some other responses on this topic that can help you out.
