This is the only control that I am aware of that offers Query by
Example. 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. I really like the ease of use but
there are more tools available for the JET engine.

Commnt: The JET engine is the standard.
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.

This grid has a different way of implementing pull downs, which
takes a bit of fiddling to get working but it is worth it. There
is a great deal of speed improvement since it only reads in as much
as required.

KeyWds: HELP WINWORD
This program creates help files and needs Word for Windows 2.x or 6.x.
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.

bought an upgrade for the cost of long distance calls but I wouldn't

A very reliable VBX. It's forte is its proprietary CMP compression but
it reads and writes most others. That is most but not all. Some of the
newer programs promise more but I can't compare. The tech support is
very responsive.

KeyWds: VBX TIF IMAGE ANNOTATE
This VBX enables you to add hotspots and stickies to TIFF images. 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.

intercepts control keys. You can print highlighted area,
current procedure, current module, and the entire program. The output
is pleasant and I just wanted the ability to print a single module.

save lots of fiddling. There are lots of other features too.

Keywds: VERSION
If you distribute software based on VB, you probably have a problem
insuring that your clients have the correct version of all the VBXs and
DLLs required. I often have a problem with users deleting files and
restoring incorrect versions. This program is distributed with your
application and solves that problem. It passed all the simple tests
that I tried.

This report writer had the most painful method of passing parameters
that I have ever seen. You have to use a common file to pass parameters.
The only nice feature that I found was the compatibility with a DOS version.

R&R SQL Report Writer
Author: Concentric Data Systems Inc. Price: $249-395
Ver: ?? Royalties: None
Keywds: REPORT NEW
The SQL version had the same parameter passing method but it had the
advantage of handling multiple detail records in ODBC unlike Crystal.
It used a user created SQL statement with a union statement. This
wasn't a very nice method to use but it worked. Unfortunately, it
didn't allow the use of a Sybase TEXT datatype in the union statement.
Tech Support claimed that this was due to a bug in Sybase but I didn't
verify it. The first three times that I called Tech Support an idiot
answered so I had lost patience by then.
