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.

    Software to market you business and Alpha

    I have been looking for software that innovatively and cheaply markets my business. In my research I came across a lot of youtube vidoes that show someone delivering the message through a medium where it looks like the a person is drawing on a whiteboard while narating.

    I have found this medium awesome as the audience is glued to the delivery process.

    Point to this. My research found a lot of suppliers and they were very costly ($1000 per minute and up). My final research found a product where I can actually do it myself. It has blown me away, how in a very short time, I was able to, with no drawing capabilities, get the result I wanted. It is based on a subscription like alpha, but very affordable. ($180 US per year) I can make as many vidoes as I want.

    If you are looking for something that can deliver your marketing messages, go to http://www.sparkol.com and download their 7 day free trial. I believe you will not be dissappointed by its potential.

    I hope I was not offline by putting this here, but I do see it also important to post messages that will help our buinesses grow. I have no interests in this company at all.

              Awesome Keith - I think this thread recognises how hard it is to be a developer and a marketer. If we can't market, there is no point to what we do as we will not grow.

              I am a troglodyte when it comes to marketing and a troglodyte's apprentice when it comes to graphics. For what it's worth this was my result on my first go with this program http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPar4JnjiZ0

                Hi Mark,

                This is your fist attempt, wow!!

                Only comment, a fraction too long but the points are well made. I have a low attention span.

                What's next Mr Spielberg?

                    I think this is a great thread. Good thinking from Mark to share this with us. We have a hard time getting our businesses to grow or even sustain it under current crisis pressures. We can use all we can get our hands on. And this really looks like it delivers the message in a way that attracts and focuses the visitor. Even if you have a short attention span (really, Keith? ). I will certainly take a further look at this and see what I can do with it. Looks very promising, thanks for the great tip Mark!

                      Hi Mark,

                      Do you have a web site that describes your services? That could be a very powerful marketing tool as well. Got many projects via my web site.

                        I signed up for the monthly Pro account. So now, along with Inkscape and OpenClipArt, I won't get ANY A5 work done! LOL

                          Got to agree on inkscape as well. Using that to help create vectors and have been amazed at how may video tutorials there are on youtube.

                          Do you have a web site that describes your services?
                          Yes I do - but I am a one man band that has a day job (which pays well, but I will be redundant by sept). All of this alpha stuff is a bit of a dream for me that I may one day find a little gold. I do more for nothing (mainly for philanthropic people) than anything else.

                          Believe it or not my little team video has opened an unexpected door so, fingers crossed, my future, may be bright.

                            Hi Mark,

                            If you decide to add more pages about Alpha Five in your web site that could help. Also you can add all video links from YouTube to your web site with description and key words, so this way you get the marketing benefit from two directions.

                              Thanks Doron. I am pretty lazy about my website. I guess I have been sated by my job too long. I will have to start doing something more current. Appreciate your feedback. Watch this space!
