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.

    Alpha NetMailer

    Hi: Does anyone have any experience using this product? Before I get into using it I was wondering if there are any specific issues, limitations or problems to be aware of.
    Thanks,

    RE: Alpha NetMailer

    Just Purchased Netmailer. How does one set the mail server username and password? I'm unable to set anything besides the smtp server, and the email address. My mail server needs the mail program to supply the username and password. What do I Do?

      RE: Alpha NetMailer

      Hi: You need to be logged on to your isp already with your user name and password to send mail. The only setting you should need to enter into the "Preferences" of the NetMailer program is the "Mail Host Name". Usually that is something like "mail.ispname.com". My Net Mailer works fine using this procedure. I don't see any where in my NetMailer program to enter the user name & password. I believe this is done when you log on to your isp.
      Hope this helps.

        Hal,

        Its so great to get feedback! I understand what you said. Thank you for your email. Problem is my isp requires the mail client, i.e netmailer in this case to login to the server by itself. !!!
        and then netmailer doesn;t seem to support this, like how outlook or messenger do..

        what do i do??????????

            RE: Alpha NetMailer

            Hi Again: I agree with John Parkin: "It should work"! After creating a message to send and then choosing the recipients from the address book, I simply "send" the messages! Keep in mind I am logged on to my ISP at the time I "send" the messages. The only setting I have made prior to sending the messages is entering my mail server in preferences.
            I also recall when I first set up Netmailer to work with my ISP that there was a "Test" message prompt from the Netmailer software. I performed this test and it was successful.
            I don't know where to go from here. How many times have you tried to send a message? Did you get the Test message prompt, as I did? You might try reinstalling the software and go thru the "Test Message" process again.
            Regards,
            Hal Smith

                Re: Alpha NetMailer

                My old version of Netmailer doesn't seem to be ready for A5v9. Is there an upgrade?

                I tried to find NetMailer on the website, but could not bring up a product page.

                    Re: Alpha NetMailer

                    What "original download link"? From two years ago? I don't have it.

                    Can you provide a link?
