 Alpha
Five 4.5 - full version
Operating system: Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP
Licence: Free after online registration
Minimum system requirements: N/A
Web: http://www.alphasoftware.net.au/welcome.htm
Get
organised in the home, office or club by creating your own custom-made
database with Alpha Five 4.5. It's easier than you think. The
full version, previously sold for AU$239 is yours free on this
months CD.
If
you are suffering from information overload and need to get organised
then you need a database solution. You can very easily create
anything from a simple carded filing system to a business management
application using Alpha Five. Use Alpha Five to create a detailed
index of your recipes, records or DVD collection. Alpha Five is
also a great tool for planning a wedding, a school lesson or doing
your family genealogy. Alpha Five can be used at work or your
social club to keep track of inventory, invoices, membership information,
employee information or rental properties. Databases
aren't just for text but can contain spreadsheets, blueprints,
word processing documents, pictures, audio files and video clips.
How
to create a database
Alpha Five 4.5 will take you through every step of creating a
new database or using one of 40 pre-built applications and templates.
You can use one of these already made databases, for example the
Party Planner and just enter your own information into it. Just
go to File\Open Database and browse though the samples and templates
in the Program Files\A5V4 folder on your C:\ drive. You'll find
very helpful manuals there too in the Books folder.
