-
- 1. What's New...
-
- [ VB4 Version ]
-
- This version is now for VB4 (32), the VB3 version is still available
- and supported if required. There are currently very few differences
- between the VB3 and VB4 versions, however this may change soon.
- (ie... the more interest shown in the VB4 version the more I will
- develop it!)
-
- [ Rename Table ] 14 Sep 1996
-
- On the Table Menu an option has been added to rename a current
- table without losing data... a check is made that you do not
- enter a duplicate name!
-
- [ Portrait / Landscape ] 14 Sep 1996
-
- The 'Print All' button in the record viewer... (used to dump
- the contents of a table to the printer).. has a popup menu
- when pressed, this menu gives the option of printing in portrait
- or landscape... landscape obviously fits more fields on the page.
-
- [ Single Structure Print ] 14 Sep 1996
-
- This is a user request from Mr Theodore Isiah Carson..
- Thanks for the feedback Mr Carson.
-
- The menu option to print the database structure now has a
- sub-menu... with options to print 'All tables' or just the
- 'current table'
-
- [ Add # ] 17 Aug 1996
-
- This feature is in the record viewer.. When I have my main data
- entry and lookup sections completed I like to fill tables with
- a sample set of records to test form opening and search speed.
-
- When you have a sample record displayed pressing 'Add #' will ask
- how many records you require and then create them using the current
- record as a template. This does mean that each record does contain
- basically the same data. (Except for incrementing fields!). I may
- work on this feature to add some randomness to the data, whowever
- it serves it's purpose to test size aspects.
-
- N.B. If a unique index is active on the table.. remove before
- using 'Add #' and then re-create afterwards.
-
-
-
- 2. Program Features....
-
- What MDB Utilities Does... Shareware Version for VB 3
-
- A general purpose database utility for any VB3 programmer.
- Allows all usual modifications and additions to an existing
- VB3 *.mdb, fields, indexes and settings can be added, removed
- or changed while keeping data intact...
-
- SQL Form allows queries to be tested or executed on the fly..
-
- Tip.. Before opening the record viewer for a particular table,
- select a field in the right list, this will then sort the
- table by that field when displaying the table records.
-
-
- WARNING !!! The use of this product may create undesirable
- results in your vb database particularly when changing
- field types. Backups of the database to be altered MUST be
- made prior to using MDB Utilities. The resulting data in the
- new tables is 'AS IS', we accept no liability whatsoever.
-
- Please note.... The shareware version of this program does NOT

- database... please check hard disk space is at least double size
- of database! Just in case!!!
