| Hi Ozstar,
Guess only an old guy like me remembers Memory Mate (I'm not sure if our tech guys were even born when it was around).
... although the products function differently, the concept of storing and retrieving unstructured data is the same. askSam lets you enter notes, ideas, etc into an empty screen and retrieve the information using a word or string.
Best,
Phil

| Ian,
I've added it to the list. In the mean time... the best solution may be to have a link in the first document of your file to the document you want to open. |

Quickest way to create Web apps

| Just wondering what different people have found to be the quickest way to create Web applications.
Most of the applications we create are pretty simple: a screen for adding data, a screen for editing data, a search screen, and search results.
We use Active Server pages that we create using a text editor. It's not hard, but there must be a better way... a more drag and drop approach to creating these things.
I think Visual Dev with .NET will make things a lot quicker.
Wondering what ... |

| Mary,
You do not have to manually insert this into each document. You can automatically insert the contents of an Entry Form using DOCUMENT - INSERT ENTRY FORM and then setting the DOCUMENT SELECTION dropdown to "selected documents" or "all documents".
In your case:
1. Create a new Entry Form that contains the Hypertext Links you wish to insert.
2. Choose DOCUMENT - INSERT ENTRY FORM and have the Entry Form with the links inserted at the TOP of each document in your file.

| There's no way to automatically edit the links. The way it works: askSam first looks in the exact drive/directory specified in the link. If the file cannot be found, askSam then looks in the "current" directory (the directory of the current file). So if you copy onto CD and place all files in the same directory, the links will work.
Linking to Attachments will only link to attachments in the current document (you cannot link from one document to attachments in another document)... is that ... |

| Hi Mary,
The links to an ASK file would only work if the computer upon which the link was executed has the .ASK extension associated with askSam.
I don't know of any problems with linking to an attachment. But - the attachment must be in the document where you are defining the link.
If you'd like... send me a small copy of your file pschnyder@askSam.com - and I'll take a look. |

| Jim - this is really odd. Question... if you just start askSam, and don't do anything else, does it kick you out? Or is it only when you click on hypertext links (or do something else)? |

Links in Reports

| Brendan, no trick... just something the report writer does not do. The report writer outputs information using the format you define in the report, not the formatting that is contained in the document. In many cases, this is much better... but in others it would be advantageous to save the formatting from the original doc. In a future version, I'd like to include an option that would allow you to set whether or not the output field would retain original formats. |

| what about if we truncate the path information. That way no matter how long the path we can make it fit. For example:
C:\askSam\database.ask
...5\data\instructions.ask
c:\my documents\phil.ask
...ts\research project.ask
It's wider than this... so more characters would display. Would this work? |
