Hi all, I am using the latest version of SDP (8003), and I am having a problem with "Manufacturers" (mandatory field). These are recognized when a workstation is scanned and automatically added to the database. But it turns out that software manufacturers not always use a standard name, so you will end up with something like "Adobe Systems", "Adobe Inc." "Adobe Incorporated", all of them being the same! and having software linked to them. SDP 8 does not allow to change/edit the name of the manufacturer

One of our Techs is currently trialling IE9 and has come across a problem when attempting to download attachments. Basically, a prompt comes up asking if you want to save the file however, this appears to be a background link rather than the filename.
