Is there a limit to the number of transactions or records that can be stored?

The database storage is not limitless, but it should be sufficient for any small or medium business. The MSDE server allows a database of up to 2GB. This is worth a few dozens years of a small company's life. Companies employing 50 people or more should consider using MS SQL server, which is capable of storing a few times more data.

Is there a Web-based version of AvailSuite?

AvailSuite is not currently available in a Web-based version or as an ASP solution, because most customers are interested in deploying this software on site. People want to have all their critical information on their hard-drive, rather than relying on someone else's system. Secondly, no real-world small business wants to have its operations halted, due to some Internet virus/worm or other connectivity disruption. However, we continue to evaluate the demand for a web-based version, and will inform our customers if our plans change.
