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.

    http://www.alphasoftware.com/shop/prodlist.asp?TYPEID=4&TYPE=Alpha+Four+Products




    How to Buy Alpha Four V8:

    If you already own Alpha Four V7, you qualify for special upgrade pricing. Please note that in order to install the Alpha Four V8 upgrade from V7, you must have V7 installed on your computer.

    1-user ($139) 3-user ($357) 5-user ($545)

    IMPORTANT Alpha Four's e-mail features do NOT work with AOL e-mail accounts. This is because AOL does not use standard Internet e-mail protocols.


    Features:

    E-mail any report or letter using your standard e-mail client (e.g. Outlook, Eudora, etc.)
    E-mail any report or letter as an Adobe Acrobat .PDF file using Alpha Four's built-in PDF converter.
    E-mail any report or letter using Alpha Four's built-in e-mail client. This allows you to keep a record of all e-mail sent in a standard Alpha Four database.
    Perform mass customized e-mailings. Each person in your database receives a personalized e-mail message.
    Create scripts that completely automate sending customized e-mail messages with no user intervention.
    Send reports as faxes using the built-in fax software (requires version with fax support).
    Send bulk fax jobs. Each person in your database receives a personalized fax message (requires version with fax support).
    Benefits:

    Deliver reports to recipients automatically.
    Integrate e-mail and fax into your applications with scripts. For example, every time an operator enters a customer order, automatically send an e-mail or fax confirmation (requires version with fax support).
    Create applications that automatically deliver statements, thank you letters, solicitations, demand letters etc. to your customer base via e-mail or fax (requires version with fax support). Complete the task of sending out these mailings in a fraction of the time and cost that sending them out manually would have taken.
    Alpha Four V7 Features:

    Allows you to print on any Windows printer (Standard mode printing).
    Works on Windows 2000, XP Home and XP Professional.
    IMPORTANT: Using Alpha Four V6 or earlier on Win 2000 or XP will result in data corruption. If you are using Win 2000 or XP, you must use Alpha Four V7 or above.

    System Requirements:
