1. Where can I try and buy Real Estate Pro?

Purchase Real Estate Pro now from this website, click here to purchase the latest version of Real Estate Pro.

2. How do I Install Real Estate Pro?

  • Extract the downloaded 'RealEstatePro.zip' file to a folder on your desktop pc.
  • Connect your CE device to your desktop PC.
  • Navigate to the 'REP' Folder you extracted in step 1.
  • Run the “Setup.Exe” file in the REP folder.

Real Estate Pro prompts you through the Visual CE installation process.
Follow the instructions on the screen.

At the end of the installation Real Estate Pro will attempt to place the synchronized database '.mdb' file on your hard drive at “c:\program files\visual ce”. The MS Access file is named REPDb.mdb. After installation first synchronization will take place.

(Synchronization will only work if you have MS Access ODBC drivers installed on your PC. Visit www.microsoft.com for more information on Microsoft Access ODBC Drivers.)

  • Navigate to the 'REPReports' Folder (you extracted in step 1).
  • Run the “Setup.Exe” file in the REPReports Folder.

Real Estate Pro prompts you through the Reports CE installation process.
Follow the instructions on the screen.

CAUTION: ABOUT THE INSTALLED FILES
THE INSTALLATION PROGRAM AUTOMATICALLY PLACES SEVERAL Real Estate Pro APPLICATION FILES ON YOUR CE DEVICE. NEVER DELETE OR RENAME ANY FILES LOCATED IN YOUR ROOT (/) FOLDER THAT ARE PREFIXED WITH A ‘REP’. THESE ARE YOUR APPLICATION FILES.


3. After installing I get an error: "Database Error" when trying to open a screen.

If you see a message when launching a screen for the first time that says: "Database Error", you must run two files by manually selecting them from your ‘Pocket PC File Explorer’ to resolve the initial synchronization issue.

Do the following:

  • On your Handheld, use your ‘File Explorer’ to navigate to your root folder.
  • Double touch the file “REP[].vce” to launch it.
  • Touch ‘Record-Close’ to exit.
  • Double touch the other “REP[].vce” files to launch them.
  • Touch ‘Record-Close’ to exit.
  • You are now ready to use Real Estate Pro.

NOTE: Real Estate Pro creates one single property record and descriptions as an example. You can delete the initial record by selecting ‘Record-Delete’ in the application on each screen.

If you do not have a MS ODBC driver installed you may get an error message during installation.


4. How do I delete the sample records?

Simply delete by touching 'Record-Delete' on all screens.

Deleting a record deletes everything cascading down from that record. For example: If you delete a property then the associated descriptions, images, interested buyer list and property details, will also be removed from your system. However, if you delete from the interested buyer screen you will only be deleting that particular link (and its associated records) but not the total property record. etc..

5. How can I use Real Estate Pro with mEnable?

Real Estate Pro is ready to work with mEnable (from Syware Inc.) today. Contact us for more information on how you can wirelessly use a central server to share data between you and others.

6. What is Syware Visual CE and Report CE?

Real Estate Pro installs several files including Syware Inc. 'Visual CE' and 'Report CE' database runtime engines on your desktop and Windows CE device. Real Estate Pro is based on Syware' multi-award-winnig Windows CE database technology.

7. Error appears saying "C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/AUTOEXEC.NT...." ?

I have downloaded the Real Estate Pro v.5.0 software, when I try to install, I get an error message saying:
C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to termiate the application.
I am running windows XP, is this why it will not work, and how should I go about installing the software to use it on my Compaq ipaq handheld?

***************************************************

Our Response:

This is a recent problem that is caused by upgrading to Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2). Apparently, in some Systems, during the SP2 installation important System files such as: AUTOEXEC.NT or CONFIG.NT get deleted, causing various Applications to fail and yielding the above errors.

The same issue has been reported to also happen after a virus attack that is messing up people's System files and it is just running rampant. In order to protect your System, please make sure that you have the latest virus Definitions installed for your anti-virus software program.

Please see the following from Microsoft's Knowledge Base regarding your Windows error message:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767&Product=winxp

You may also try one of these two options:

Option1: Sometimes Windows may back up the file AUTOEXEC.NT in the Windows/repair folder from its original folder of Windows/System32. See if you have it there and if so, you may just copy it back to the System32 folder and all should be good.

Option2: Send an email to support@nortech.com.au , requesting the Windows 16 bit system files called Autoexec.nt and config.nt. These files will be sent to you by attached email. Paste these attached files to your windows system folder found at c:Windows\System32\ .
