The Enquiry module is where you go to find text books, check numbers, print basic lists.


TTPlus.exe is the program that runs the Enquiry module and a shortcut to this can be safely put on any desktop as there are no data changing/editing functions in this module.  It is simply a lookup tool to allow people to search the Text Tracker Suite database.  Go to START and use the Run option to run TTPlus.exe /? to see the optional switches you can include when you create a desktop icon.
