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 ... everywhere from Windows, Mac & Linux

    Blog Post

    Alpha Five ... everywhere from Windows, Mac & Linux

    Did you know you can create and Deploy Alpha Five web apps remotely from the Web? Well now you do.

    Virtual Private Servers (VPS's) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server can double as both a machine to develop your Alpha Five web applications and a place to host your Alpha Five web applications.

    Alpha Five users are an innovative group. Most of you have broadband Internet access, and some of you have already figured out that you can move your desktop Alpha Five Development Environments and other Windows programs onto your VPS's or dedicated servers.

    Thanks to dramatically lower costs of dedicated hosting, and the arrival of shared VPS�s, it just got a lot easier to build and deploy Web applications with Alpha Five Platinum.

    Clive Swanepoel of ZebraHost, an Alpha Five hosting partner (with VPS�s starting at $34.95 per month http://zebrahost.net/alphafivev9plans.php ), says that an increasing number of his Alpha Five customers are accessing their VPS's or dedicated servers via their Windows remote desktop connection to create their applications right on the server.

    The advantage of course, is that they can access their work from any Internet connection anywhere in the world. This is particularly useful when traveling. And when you connect to the server via remote desktop connection, you're presented with the familiar Windows desktop.

    This also means you can build and deploy Alpha Five Web applications from sources other than just Microsoft Windows, such as a Mac or Linux.

    Plus, backups of an entire VPS or dedicated server are easy to make with the Virtuosso control panel at ZebraHost. The backups are stored on the network and are created at the click of a link. Restoring is equally as simple.

    And with the world going increasingly wireless, the places you can't take Alpha is constantly shrinking. You can take us anywhere.
