RE: Selwyn question
Hi Bradley,
"But, between telling me I was going to get a written copy of the manual,"
When was this stated, I don't remember hearing anything at the conferences nor have I read anything to this effect other than after th release of v5, it was stated that Alpha was working with a 3rd party to have printed manuals available. They'll come, be patient.
"functions not working so "easily" as promissed,"
Selwyn was under alot of pressure to release v5. Everyone, except possibly you, knew there would be bugs and Selwyn & crew have been working more than overtime to get the bugs ironed out. If you've followed this board at all, you know that Selwyn has even provided answers for real life situations, situations that have to do with a developer/user, not a bug. No doubt, Access is bug free and Bill & crew will drop what they're doing to fix a little something for you.
"not being able to install it on more than 1 computer (need it on my laptop and my backup computer cause I can NOT afford to be down, along with the ability to install it on new harddrives when I upgrade, etc, etc, etc.),"
Oh Bradly, were you not watching, listening or reading? You can install on a 2nd computer and you can install on a new hard drive. Alpha makes that very clear
"and numerous other reasons,"
Are you sure there are numeropus other reason? Don't mention the price, please. We've all been down that road.
"I'm turning in my Alpha Hat. Besides, my Version 4 application is working reasonably well and there's just no way I can invest the time and effort to fix all of the problems with moving my application to V5."
If you don't have the time and effort to fix all of the problems with moving my application to V5, where do you think you'll find the time and effort to move to Access?
Don't let your emotions rule the roost. You'll end up on the short end of the stick.
