3 SCOPE reduces risk of database corruption
SCOPE databases are easily identified and saved as a single *.FPA file that is Microsoft ACCESS® compatible. Users can use Microsoft ACCESS® to customise and create their own SCOPE reports.
Comparison to FPW
- FPW saves to an early technology format (Paradox database of 42 individual tables). All 42 tables need to be copied and transferred whenever a count database is copied. This creates an issue if for some reason the copy on just one of the files or indexes fails, then the whole database is corrupted and irretrievable.
Benefits of SCOPE using a single "file" database
o SCOPE significantly reduces the chances of a counter failing to copy across all files and thus making their database unusable |
