Running More Than One Instance Of MFPro8 At A Time

Is it possible to run multiple versions of MFPro instances at the same time?.
There seems to be a limit of 300 markets one can load at a time.

Yes just open a new instance and select a different profile, or copy your existing one with a new name.

Just a thought, MFP gets unstable with to manny markets, but could that really be solved by running more instnces insted?

Got the attached error when I tried to login again while an instance was running?.
What is the procedure  to run multiple instances of MFP?.
Obviously I am doing something wrong to get the error message.

I think the second instance can't have the same profile name as the one you are running - have you followd ruboid's instructions abow?

HI

tupp is right!

You need to use each profile for each instance.

Can anyone tell me what the 2 middle icons do to the right of the profile select box on the login screen?.
See attached picture.
In the help file it says one can clone a profile but when I click on the 2nd icon to right ( the face) I do not see a sub menu with the option to clone or the other things this icon is supposed to do according to the help file?.
Also what does the 3rd icon to the right of the profile selection box do (the one that looks like microwave oven with arrow pointing up and down)?.
I know what the first does, it adds a new profile and the last icon to the right is to delete a profile.

You clone a profile by pressing the "cheep", the button next to the right of the +-button.

If you press the clone-button, if I remember - a new window will apper where you write a new profile name!

hi
green cross=new profile
sheep = clone a profile
blue icon = rename a profile
red minus = delete a profile

I got this error when I attempted to clone the default profile?.
See attached picture of the error.

hi
make sure that you are running mfp as administrator

Hi Mcbee,
Can you give me simple instructions how to do this please?.

hi
hover the mouse pointer over the mfp icon
click the right mouse button
select properties at the bottom of the new screen
select advanced in the middle right of the new screen
tick the Run as administrator box
click OK
click apply
click OK

Unfortunately the same error was still there when I tried to clone my default profile after carrying out your instructions?.
Anything else do you think I could try?.

hi
just create a new profile and alter the settings to your requirements , it could be that the default profile has been corrupted at some time.
after you have created and altered the new profile settings then try to clone the new profile if it clones ok then delete the default profile.
