My Clients & Profits X! is a web server for your Clients & Profits X database that allows anyone to manage jobs, track time and expenses, and more from Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, or any web browser 

It lets account executives, and out-of-office staff members track jobs, traffic, time, expenses, and more from home, a client's conference room, a trade show -- from any kind of computer. The My C&P! X web server serves customizable web pages using real-time data from the Clients & Profits X database.

How My C&P! X works

The My C&P! X web server acts as a gateway between your shop's Clients & Profits database and any number of Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer users. A user opens their browser, then logs onto the My C&P! X server by entering a specified web address (such as "http://my.clientsandprofits.com"), their user ID, and their password. My C&P! X verifies the user's ID and password, then displays a personalized "home" page. This home page contains links to the various client, job, and costing features available to them, as well as links to company and industry news, a company calendar, and an optional online company handbook.

It runs unattended on a separate computer that is connected to your Clients & Profits X database. There is no preset limit on the number of concurrent My C&P! X users, so many web users can add jobs, time, and expenses simultaneously.
