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.

    looking for an A5V4 designer

    We are a small company that certifies Emergency Vehicle Technicians (Mechanics that repair fire trucks)and we are currently using Alpha4V6. We would like to convert to A5 so our exam grading software can merge score data to our database. I have learned how to make A4V6 do what we needed to get done, but I do not have the time to learn how to redo all of our forms, scripts, reports, and letters in A5.
    I have visited this message board for years learning how to solve problems and perform specified tasks. It seems to me that a lot of people here are designers with clients.

    We would like to get a quote to have a designer set up A5 for us.
    Please e-mail us directly if you are interested in giving us a price to develop our application.
    Thank You

    Steven,

    If you want to find a "hired gun" to help you through this transition, why not look on the Alpha Consultants' page.

    These are people who use their considerable experience to help folks such as yourself. Many have Web pages where you can find out more about them, contact them and get estimates on what completing your project will cost.

    Be aware, however, that changing from Alpha Four to Alpha Five means that all your forms, scripts, reports, macros, etc. will have to be recreated since they are not transferrable between versions; so the cost may be more than you expect, no matter who you contact...

    Hope that this is of some help.

    Regards,

    Geoff Hollander

    PS: Many of those who are looking for help think that the the consultant with which they work must be physically situated near by; but that's not really true in this day of email, fax, phone and the Internet. Choose the best consultant for your project -- not the one who is most "conveniently" located.

    -GH
