 Upcoming Events

Our next Training Seminar will be just after the Northeast Glass Expo on Friday March 27th, 2009, in Long Island (Hauppauge) New York. The seminar will be held at the Sheraton Long Island Hotel, down the street from the glass show. It will be held from 10am to 4pm with a break for lunch. See our Training page for more details, and how to sign up.

GDS is a member of America's Glass Association and we will be offering our next set of Training Seminars to coincide with this show. The glass show is on May 15-16th, 2009 in Las Vegas. There will be two training classes available for the New V15 WinBidPro software:

Beginning v15 Training &
Advanced v15 Training

The Beginning class will be offered on Wednesday, May 13th, 2009, and the Advanced class will be on Saturday, May 16th, 2009. See our Training page for more details, and how to sign up.

 Important GDS News
v15.1.5 Now Available!
Go to the WinBidPro v15 page, read the directions and download the latest release of this new program. If you have a current subscription to the GDS software, this version will use the same license. Version 15 installs as a whole new program, and does not affect the v14 program that you may already have. You can use both program until you get comfortable with the new one.

Are you new to v15 WinBidPro? Please take some time to view our Training Videos on the Training page, and you can click the Help link at the top of the menu tree inside the program to view our initial help documentation. We also urge you to use our Forum for support with WinBidPro. There are many questions that have already been answered, so it is possible that your question will be there as well.

v15 Drawing Window Problem
If you see a problem with your elevation drawings not refreshing properly when you run the v15 program, you might need to update your Display Adapter driver in Windows. You will need to know the brand and chipset of your video card in order to find the latest drivers. You can usually find this in the Control Panel under the System icon, then the Device Manager window. Click the Display Adapter item in that window and you should find what you need. Check with your computer manufacturer if all else fails, and they can point you to the drivers updates.

Important v15 Tech Issues
Sharing Catalogs: WinBidPro v15 allows multiple people to use the same vendor catalogs. Read this help document on Sharing Vendor Catalogs to learn how to set this up on your network.

Program Already Running Message: If you get a message that WinBidPro is "already running" on your computer when you try to open WinBidPro, you should reboot your computer. Sometimes this occurs after installing the program, and shouldn't happen again after rebooting.
