Cool Program: Property Hive add on for Property Bee

Crucial House Price surfing programs

Just got the Property Hive program off another site. It allows you to collate all your Property Bee information stored on your computer into table/spreadsheet form a bit like Property Snake.

Property Bee has become essential and addictive viewing for first time buyers and STRs. It collects data from property viewed on sites like right move and up date you with changes such as price. Say you type in TW8 in Right move one week having a look and then do this again the week latter all the house price changes will be highlighted in blue.

If you haven't got Property Bee you will first need to be using Firefox Browser. All links below:

    wow its good:beer:
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Well, I clearly missed something. Off to fiddle, but it looks like you should install the Hive in the same directory that you store the Bee data in.

    Now, while this might be obvious to some, or not noticeable to those who don't individually pick precisely where to install programmes on their PC, it's not obvious until you've installed Hive and opened it and nothing happens :)

    I have a specific programs/data structure I keep to rigidly and the two are nowhere near each other.

    Well, I uninstalled it and let it choose where to install ... and still nothing.
    It's not loading any data... so clearly I need to go faff some more.

    I give up for now. Only so much fiddling and getting nowhere one can do before it's time for Emmerdale.

    Still nothing. Spent 40 minutes exporting the data (41MB csv), copied that into the directory where Property Hive now is.
    Loaded Hive, still no data.

    There's no clues what the paths need to be.

    I've got Property Bee and Hive both installed in their own directories (their defaults) on C:zProgram Files ... and the data simply isn't loading into Hive.

    There was an option in Bee before to select where it stored the data to, can't find that now, unless it was removed. No idea where mine's currently saving it's data to.


    Off to track down any clues on teh Internets
