USER STORY; RICK NAGLE USES ASKSAM TO MANAGE MOUNTAINS OF VALUABLE EMAIL
"We had gotten an order for some IBM Token Ring Boards, that our
client needed. We had none in stock, so, I searched our Email
Database, and found 2 references of suppliers who had them in
stock. Our client paid us well for them, because they don't make
that type anymore, and our supplier was more than happy to give
them away. [Grin] Our database has 92,869 emails.
The database software that we used in the past were, PC:
(dBase, Paradox.) Mac: (4D, Provue, Double Helix, Filemaker)
and they just couldn't handle larger amounts of text, and to
search it as well, forget about doing reports on a memo field
too. We found and chose askSam. I found I could do more with
free form text, than any other database."

TIP OF THE MONTH...
askSam Tip:
askSam allows you to work with unstructured information like
articles, Web pages, resumes, etc. One feature that is
beneficial when working with text information is the SHOW
command. The SHOW command allows you to use words and
phrases to output sections of text - even if they are not
contained in a field.
For details: http://www.asksam.com/four/surf14/asksamtip.asp
SurfSaver Tip:
The Internet is a great place to track current events.
Historical and memorable events in sports (Olympics, Superbowl,
World Series), politics (presidential elections), world events
(September 11), etc - are recorded immediately on-line. The
problem is once you've found it, what do you do with all of it?
Current events, like many other things on the Web, come and go
very quickly. You need a way to preserve the moment, and that's
where SurfSaver comes in. Use SurfSaver to organize, save, and
recall any current news. Never forget a piece of history again.
