A customer requested the ability to export any report to a network path.<br><br>

VTube now restores three main window's screen locations automatically when it loads.
The file exported is an HTML file that can be viewed in any web browser on any computer that has access to the report file exported.<br><br>
+
This allows management to have access to the reports from anywhere on your network.<br><br>
+
VTube-STEP also exports all external resource files that should follow the report.<br><br>

We discovered that the MTA feature would record all the tubes and build he average in Tube Data Storage, but would not copy it into main memory.<br><br>
The purpose is to allow SMI customers to import SMI files in order to build solid models of the SMI data imported.
