Great Product -- earlier issues with V5 now fixed

by Warren   from Arizona

I wrote a review of this software about a year ago based on my experiences with the earlier version. Version 6 seems, after trying to duplicate the problems with V5, to be absolutely stable. All the compliments I gave it in the earlier review stand. Any disparagement is now retracted. Buy this. It's a great piece of software and it's a great bargain.

Very good piece of software. Best in class.

I have worked with the big names in handheld databases and found that abcDB is one of the most complete. Being able to run code during events is very helpful.

The prorogram is easy and the support is very responsive.

by Bernard Ross   from Villa Ridge, MO

I was able to use a trial version of the program on my wife's Dell Axim. The support that I received during the trial period was the primary reason I bought a Dell Axim for me. I didn't want a $300 calender and phone book. I needed a PDA that would run my Access file. When I ran into problems with syncing the file, the tech rep helped me more than the Dell tech rep, who was also very helpful and responsive. The abcDB rep was more familiar with Access.
