It is a very impressive and stable tool. The error handling is more robust than the JET engine. It over 30 databases but I only tested a few. They all worked fine.

This is the standard. You need the data access control for many of the third party tools. It is the engine supplied with Access 1.0. The biggest problem that I have is the lack of support for Access security. The phone support is impossible but I like the Fax Back support. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Visual/db Database Manager Author: AJS Publishing Price: $149 Network $299 Ver: ??

There are benefits to using a program that needs Winword since you can import your manual and turn it into your help file. The program runs on top of Word by adding a toolbar and more selections to your pulldown menus. The jumps are simulated quite well. The icons on the new toolbar are just the first letter of the command so its good that it has popup help balloons. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Windows Help Magician Author: Software Interphase Inc.

The demo needs more work to demonstrate the features better. It read the Winfax TIFF but not the Coreldraw or Microsoft Chart TIFF. Unfortunately, the manual was only 56 pages and didn't explain what kind of TIFF was required. It just implied that it could read all TIFFs. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Picture++ Author: Rainbow Imaging Price: $425.00 Ver: Royalty: ??
