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.

    Application Server Vulnerability Notice *UPDATED*

    Application Server Vulnerability Notice

    During routine server testing performed by a customer, a security vulnerability was discovered in the Application Server. This flaw will potentially allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information and is considered to be a high severity issue. This issue was discovered in routine testing and has not been exploited to Alpha Software's knowledge.

    Alpha Software recommends that all customers take immediate action as detailed below.


    SYSTEMS AFFECTED:
    • This issue affects the Alpha Anywhere Classic Application Server, the Alpha Five version 11 Application Server, and the Alpha Five version 10 Application Server.
    • The Alpha Anywhere Application Server for IIS is not affected by this vulnerability.
    • Alpha Five version 9 and prior have not been tested.


    REMEDIATION:
    Alpha Anywhere Application Server for IIS
    The Alpha Anywhere Application Server for IIS is not subject to this vulnerability. No action is required.

    Alpha Anywhere Classic Application Server
    A fix for this security vulnerability is available now for build 4770, the most recent official release of Alpha Anywhere Application Server.
    Click here to download now.

    Additionally, prereleases beginning with build 4940 include this fix.
    Prereleases are available from http://aadocuments.s3.amazonaws.com/...easeNotes.Html.

    Alpha Five Version 11 Application Server
    A fix for this security vulnerability in version 11 is available now for Alpha Five version 11 build 3381. Click here to download now. The downloaded ZIP file contains a single DLL that should be placed into your Application Server installation folder, overwriting the existing DLL file. No changes to your published applications will be required.

    Any server operators with a version 11 release prior to build 3381 should update to that release immediately, then apply the above update.

    Alpha Five Version 10 and prior
    Support for Alpha Five version 10 ended in October 2011, as a result, a fix for this vulnerability will not be released. Any operators with Version 10 or prior servers still in use should upgrade those systems to Alpha Anywhere or Alpha Five version 11 immediately, and then apply the correct update listed above. Otherwise, continue using these unsupported versions at your risk.

    Acknowledgments
    This vulnerability was discovered while testing was performed on a server hosted at ZebraHost. The discovery was reported by Nate Battles at ZebraHost, who then worked closely with Alpha Software to duplicate the issue and verify the fix. Thank you to Nate Battles and Clive Swanepoel of ZebraHost.
