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.

    Need any Help

    Are you having difficulties building your Alpha Application?

    Have you downloaded the trial version and feel like you are wading through tar to get it performing in your business?

    Perhaps you have an old Alpha Four Dos database, and would like to see the massive benefits it will bring to your business by rebuilding it in the latest version of Alpha Five.

    Are you frustrated that a lack of a professionally designed intuitive database, matched to the way you work, is retarding your business growth and development?

    Are you using older versions of Microsoft Access, Dataease, and Paradox, PFS or another database and would like to see how the power of the Alpha development engine can revolutionize it, giving you so much more?

    Are you a consultant who has diligently prepared a Statement of Requirements for your client�s business and want to discover whether Alpha Five ticks all the boxes?

    Perhaps you�re struggling because critical operational data is fragmented and spread across people�s desks, manual files, spreadsheets, and makes doing business longwinded and difficult.

    Perhaps you are losing revenue and clients because you don�t have the right systems in place to deliver great levels of customer service

    Perhaps your accounts software supplier is banging on your door asking you to upgrade to the latest release, and you�re having difficulty seeing what difference you�re going to get for your money?

    Do you need a business tool built to sharpen up your day-to-day operational performance and deliver a competitive edge?

    If any or some of the above apply to you, then give us a call on 01661 844864 and ask for Alex Muir

    We are Database Software Solutions and our speciality is building database applications that measurably increase performance.

    And when we say measurably, we mean specific quantifiable hard facts.

    Like the client we replaced a people, time hungry, and tedious chore with an Alpha Five built application that saves him in excess of �30,000 a year. And it�s done this for the last three years. An �8500 investment that has returned to date in excess of �100,000!

    Or another client where we dramatically eased the pressure cooker of his environment by giving him back another 21 hours a weeks.

    Or the small manufacturer who has seen a 21% improvement in turnover in less than 12 months, with a zero increase in costs, because he is able to deliver his products and services faster.

    And we develop exclusively in Alpha, and have done so for the last 15 years.

    Having the right tool is one thing, knowing how it works is another. Knowing how it works when it�s got to function inside and outside Windows technology is only gained by experience and an unfaltering commitment to the tool itself.

    Combining its strengths with a true consultative approach, that solves problems, and makes your business stronger, more competitive, and guarantees results in marked and measured ways, is priceless.

    Clients of varying turnover size between �250,000 - �18 million and who employ between 4 and 350 people, rely every hour of every working day on mission critical applications we have developed in Alpha Five to get their job done efficiently, painlessly and profitably.

    If you would like an informal chat on how we can do the same for your business, then please call me, Alex Muir, today on 01661 844864 or 07703 260568
