I have to chime in here. We recently purchased foxray and are still learning how to use it. Shortly after installation, we experienced a problem that effectively wiped out our AIM* historian. Restoring it was a very high priority and we are still experiencing residual difficulties a few weeks after the event. TAC has been helpful in rectifying these problems. Why is that important? You asked about "issues related to support for these products." I cannot even begin to fully describe the support we received LimeWare. They provided instructions for getting the necessary files for foxray set back up on our historian and working again. Then, when we weren't getting alarm messages they assisted in pinning down the problem, which it turned out was indexing into the mX0.fdb files. In all it took a lot of effort on their part and it would be criminal of me to just read your post and not speak up for them. They have been, and continue to be, extremely supportive.

It allows for emailing of alarms based on different criteria to different people. Here is a link to some info. http://www.pco2.com/v/vspfiles/downloadables/Foxray%20Pres.swf Hope this helps.
