I want to add my two cents to these points. I agree with them. I've been designing databased business applications for 27 years, most recently in MS Access. Business users are used to good-looking screens. I love your business objects and rules approach, and I applaud the many great capabilities in ...

Thank you again for a very clear and concise reply. This will be my last question for awhile so I can go test out some things. AmareIM directly handles incoming emails and faxes to the point of filing them with the proper customer, account, etc. I surmise that it does that by checking the subject li...

Thank you for your reply, which was clear, thorough and extremely helpful from sub-para a thru h. Let me restate your answer to question 2 in order that I am just as clear about that: I believe you said that to print (or fax) a report or document on the printer attached to a desktop computer, one sh...

Thanks for the quick reply and info. Following up on two points, I also asked if the data entry screens can now be made to look more like your demo front end screens and less grid-like? I didn't see an answer to that. Second, you mention that printing and faxing are provided automatically by any bro...

WOW! Now I AM impressed with the front end look of your new demos, with images and all. Will the actual data entry screens be able to do some or all of this? I'll have to download and take apart a demo to understand how you did it. In another thread you mentioned the difficulty/impossibility of open...

That's a great idea! I'm really impressed with what AwareIM does, but restrained from committing because I don't yet see a way to create the smooth good looking screen displays that users are familiar with and demand and which are possible with some other IDEs I'll be watching for the demos also, an...

I was looking for a way to do the good looking and flexible screen images I've been able to do with MS Access, and the Aware data entry screen looked a little stilted and grid-like to me. Maybe AJAX is a way to improve on this but it looks like it will take a good bit of study. The other thing I nee...

Eval Download Question

I downloaded the eval version last August but didn't buy it because it didn't have some features I'm interested in. It looks like the new version does. Can I download the current eval version to check it, or will it detect the August date stamp and not run? If I can do this, do I have to do anything...

E-Mails and Faxes

This may be covered in the docs, but I haven't exactly found it yet. Do I understand correctly (or not) that incoming and outgoing e-mails are handled dirictly by AwareIM and do not go thru or require MS Outlook? Also is it possible to dynamically change the Active Printer on Windows in order to pri...

I have a problem which I think is almost the same as this one. I have a screen (object) that has fields for typical customer data. One of them is for zip or postal code. I want that to be a dropdown combobox so that when you type in the proper zip code it is selected, and it shows in two adjacent fi...

Thanks again for the fast response and the good answers. This is looking better and better to me, and I have two additional questions: 1. After I buy the product, can I use the same method of taking it and my workproduct with me on my laptop and then updating my desktop when I return? 2. For speed, ...

Scratch No 1 and 3 of the above. I found #1 again and marked it down, and #3 was probably operator error.

Still don't know the answers to #2 and 4. Thanks.

Navigation, Masks and Logon

I'm beginning to get the hang of this, but finding stuff in the docs is frustrating, I miss a word index to it. For example, I know there's a place where you can change the color and font of separators and other items globally, I did it the other day, but I can't find it anywhere today. 2. I got you...

Thanks for your fast response. Answers 1 thru 4 are very encouraging and I'll just have to see how/where to put them in. It seems like the columns holding field labels are a slightly different color than the columns holding data fields, that there is a faint horizontal separator line between rows, t...
