AskSam's mission has always been about pulling information from data through searches or reports. Users can start simply with askSam's Quick Start or really dig in to the product with the help of the detailed reference guide. We liked the Quick Tour, a 10-screen overview that gives the basics of using askSam, and the special Quick Start for askSam 3.0 users. Files created with earlier versions can be opened and converted, so existing users won't lose their data. In addition to new end-user features, askSam has made changes under the hood to let programmers take advantage of the freeform database.
Programmers can contact askSam tech support for example files.
Users of traditional desktop databases, such as Access or Paradox, may feel a little lost at the freedom from structure askSam allows, but with use, you come to appreciate the flexibility. AskSam won't replace Oracle or SQL Server in running the company's bookkeeping, but it will help those on the front line wading through documents to get more information from their data. Inc.
