Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    TESTIMONIALS FROM LAST YEARS' CONFERENCE:

    �I truly enjoy coming to the conference because I get to meet face to face other Alpha users and developers from around the world. It�s good to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. I would say that I gained most from conversations over dinner or at lunch. The way ideas flow from chance remarks is invaluable.� � B. Whitaker (United Kingdom)


    �This year's conference was better than last years� for me. No fluff! Just some real good examples of "this is what to do, and here is how you do it". Code and examples were freely shared. When you have some real "MEAT" to bring on home and use, you feel like you got your money's worth. That is what made this year's conference GREAT! Even if the session went too fast for you to understand, you at least had a guide to take home and follow step by step instructions to refresh your memory and learn from what was demonstrated!� � D. Blank (Carrollton, TX)

    �It was good to see a lot of attendees sharing their work, ideas, and helping each other all during the conference. There were laptops pulled out in the meeting rooms, in the lobby, and at the lunch and dinner tables. The pool-side discussions were good too. I also liked the concentrated session format.� � K. Jackson (Wichita, KS)

    �This year's format contained something for everyone, from new 'Alpha-ites' to the seasoned developer. The interaction of presenters and 'class' during the sessions was a benefit I really appreciated. I learned something in every session I attended and was never made to feel my question or comment wasn't 'worthy'. All the presenters were excellent and the presenters who had to fill in did an excellent job with sharing their knowledge with us all.� � T. Hernacki (Schaumburg, IL)

    �I made an effort to attend this year (after having missed the last several years) and I'm GLAD I did! The solo talks & panel discussions were excellent and there was plenty of time for Q & A with the audience. The choice to distribute the presentations on thumb drives was inspired. It was great to rub shoulders with other Alpha Five users and developers. Saw lots of old friends, and was able to put faces to many of the names I've become familiar with on this board. Made me realize how much I'd missed by not attending in previous years! Personally, I came away from the conference inspired to extend my Alpha knowledge in two distinct areas: (a) building web apps; and (b) learning more about how to interact with SQL databases through Alpha Five.� - T. Cone, Jr. (Lutz, FL)

                    Re: ATEC 2008 - Alpha Five Technology & Education Conference Coming Soon!!



                    It is with great pleasure that I share my thoughts with you following our conference. In the three compact days and evenings, the conference delivered the most up-to-date, practical, and advanced technical information for Alpha Five. And, provided attendees with a venue for enhancing knowledge, making valuable contacts, and getting the support they needed to solve real business problems. Their smiling faces, "aha" moments, sharing during lunch, at the bar, and in the meeting rooms let me know that we accomplished what we set out to do. My thanks go to many people for helping make this conference happen. In particular, I'd like to thank Pat Bremkamp, David Brown, John Bunch, Jerry Brightbill, and Francie Peake who worked hard to make this a success. The additional time that the presenters have taken to document and share their ideas is greatly appreciated.

                    It was a pleasure to welcome back those not attending for the first time and are glad that they were able to establish new contacts and continue to expand their network of trust. To our first time attendees, we hope that they felt at home and welcomed them to our ATEC family. You can visit the conference website to see a short video (windows media format) from the conference. We were so involved we forgot to take photos from beginning to end. The photos do not have everyone in attendance represented because we were too busy and often had a hard time tearing them away from the sessions.

                    We hope next year everyone can place it on their schedule for September 10th - 12th and make arrangements to attend because plans are now underway for ATEC 2009, so look for future announcements. Don't forget to tell your colleagues as well.
