Server:

Currently set up on a standard dc7800 desktop in room 135b called ch-mnovadb

Running under an instance of MySQL using locally created user names

I can see how to save the data to the NMR database but not how to attach structures. Any hints? It's alos not obvious how to link NMR spectra to lab book page numbers, which appear on the spectra.

Otherwise the trial is OK.

I think the idea is you create a document in Mnova then save it to the database.

A Document has a number of Pages. When you run up Mnova you get a blank sheet and a small copy of it at the top left hand side

From the edit menu you'll see "insert object" with a selection of formats including Chemdraw and chem3d.

Once you've do that you can do "create new page" and add your spectrum and so on.

The do the same again and add text eg recipe for making substance, references, physical data, Origin plots or whatever you like

You can then save the whole as a document either standalone or to the database.

I'll admit to not RTFM so there may be another way....

Hope this helps
