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 Five trial to be bundled on 6-9 million PC's

    Alpha Software Provides Software for Foxconn Motherboards

    Deal Will Introduce Award Winning Alpha Five Software to Millions of New Users


    BURLINGTON, Mass., June 21, 2005�Alpha Software Inc., the database software company that enables customers to build breakthrough web and desktop applications and solve database management problems rapidly and easily, has announced that Foxconn (registered trade name of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.), one of the world�s largest manufacturers of computer motherboards, will provide a trial version of Alpha Five Software on the CDs it ships with its Foxconn and WinFast branded motherboards to computer component distributors and system integrators worldwide.
    Alpha Five version 6 is a relational database application that lets both programmers and non-programmers create sophisticated desktop database applications without the need to write any code. Action Scripting and hundreds of genies do all the work. The software�s point and click Web Component Builder makes it possible for anyone to quickly create a web database. Alpha Five includes its own Web Application Server and is also designed to work with the Apache web application server for load balancing in high transaction environments.
    �This is a great opportunity for millions of computer users to test Alpha Five version 6 for free,� said Richard Rabins, Alpha Software co-chairman. �We�re very excited to have our software ship through one of the top motherboard manufacturers in the world.�
    Foxconn�s driver and application software CDs currently contain software from companies such as Corel Corporation and Symantec Corporation. Alpha Software is providing Foxconn with a full working trial version of Alpha Five version 6.
    �Foxconn continues to pursue different ways to improve the PC experience for our customers,� said, Ed Leckliter, Foxconn�s Director of Channel Products. �With Alpha Five our customers have the ability to create sophisticated databases without a programming background. It�s the perfect addition to our motherboard offering.�
    This announcement comes on the heels of fantastic reviews of Alpha Five version 6. In March, PC Magazine awarded Alpha Five its coveted Editors Choice Award. PC User Magazine selected Alpha Five version 6 as the winner in their annual Best Database Software category, beating out both FileMaker 7 and the current version of MS Access. Last December, in a PC Today Magazine shootout against MS Access, Alpha Five received the highest score and was cited for its ability to create web solutions along with ease of use and the ability to build applications in about a quarter of the time as compared to MS Access.
