Description         :
EZ-Forms DataBase/ODBC (32bit) -- the Enterprise-Wide and Developer's 
Solution 
for Eforms Automation with ODBC compliant databases. Available in 
singler user, site/LAN, enterprise/corporate and developer editions.

EZ-Forms DataBase/ODBC (EZFDB) (32bit Windows) is the eforms and 
database solution for your entire enterprise, or you client base 
(developer's edition). ODBC (open database connectivity) compliance 
coupled with electronic forms (eforms) allow total automation of this 
function. EZFDB can stand alone with its included xBase driver that is 
capable of over 5000 fields per record. The included xBase driver is 
uniquely suited to single or multi-page eforms that contain thousands 
of fields. EZFDB can also be used in combination with most other 
database handlers like Microsoft Access, FoxPro, Lotus Approach, etc. 
Most applications can be uniquely enhanced with real looking on-screen 
forms that print exactly like the original (if it ever even existed).

EZ-Forms DataBase/ODBC (EZFDB) edition supports ODBC (Open DataBase 
Connectivity) - Microsoft's (hence the world's) de-facto standard for 
universal database access. - Unleash the power of MS Access (and many 
others) for your clients: - Use a single form for entry and final 
fillout. (no code required; single table usage per form; multiple open 
forms supported) - For developers: No need to ship your entire 
application, just distribute the EZ-Forms form. - You can use 
filled-out-forms (.FOFs) to capture data. - Then, you can harvest data 
from returned filled-out-forms. - Use the  same form for off-site 
fillout, on-site fillout and final print. - Easier to use than most 
replication methods. - Serves as a front-end for Access, Approach, 
FoxPro, Visual dBase, etc. Works with your existing Access databases as 
one multi-page form per table. Supports client-server systems such as 
Oracle, and SQL Server. - Less storage 
required per form. - The master form is not duplicated for each 
filled-out form. - Only the data is stored into a record in the 
database. - Filler is LAN (Network) ready and allows multiple user 
access to your database. - Forms can be conveniently browsed without 
having to open individual files. - A single keystroke or menu command 
brings you to the next or previous form. - Browse through forms in any 
sequence. - Choose a single field or any combination of fields to sort 
by. - No more having to name filled-out forms. - Saving a form simply 
adds a record to the database. - Searching. - Filtering. - Can be used 
as a simple front end to an existing database. - Grid view makes 
maneuvering and editing easy. - Query Data by Form (match data fields) 
or Expression. - Order Data by Fields (multiple criteria) or 
Expression. - SQL expressions supported (for the expert). - Includes 
advanced xBase ODBC driver supporting: - 
Up to 65000 total characters per record. - Up to 5000 fields per 
record. - Up to 1,000,000,000 characters per database file.

EZ-Forms DataBase/ODBC's (EZFDB) focus is on forms fill-out for 
everyone at your location. EZFDB's Designer and Filler "Engines" are 
separated (except for the single user edition) so that the forms 
developer may control form creation completely. The LAN-ready Filler 
module (n/a single user) is licensed for use at the entire site and of 
course, can fill or edit only those fields the designer allows. In 
addition, EZFDB Designer and Filler modules are "code-locked" to each 
other (n/a single user), so that no other licensee of EZ-Forms may 
access your forms unless they have your Filler. This provides for the 
ultimate in security for sensitive applications. The Enterprise and 
Developer Editions are also Internet and Intranet enabled! Also, the 
Developer's edition comes with both the EZ-Forms DataBase Filler and 
the EZ-Forms XL/PRO Filler, so you can choose how the "filler-outer" 
functions. If you use the XL/PRO Filler and fill out individual "filled 
out forms" you can receive these via email or shared network directory. 
Then you can harvest the data with EZ-Forms DataBase Filler or Designer 
module. If you use the DataBase filler, data will be entered into the 
database/table that you have pre-selected

.EZ-Forms "Objects" can be linked into any program that is "OLE" 
enabled, like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Lotus 
Approach, etc. Unlike page document composition, EZ-Forms' logical 
object oriented 
drawing tools are specifically tailored and optimized for forms design 
and manipulation. Its WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) 
interactive screen is clear, intuitive and easy to use. Font size, 
typeface and printer options (including FAX transmission) are limited 
only by what is available under Microsoft Windows for your system. For 
truly flexible forms production, you can even print the filled-in data 
and the form at the same time or, fill-out to pre-printed forms. Form 
Design Features also include: Calculations (robust with 50+ number %26 
logical functions), field pick lists (annotated), field ordering, field 
help, field validation, auto date, auto number, and more! Create, 
Fill-Out (internal), Fill-In (pre-printed), Modify, Compute, Validate, 
Save, ANY FORM in minutes!. WYSIWYG, multiple open forms, cut/paste, 
protected fields/objects, multiple object selection for 
move/copy/paste, OLE2, MAPI, much, much, more. Import scanned images 
(even full page) for immediate forms and effects. * Specific Windows 
95/98/NT (32bit) Installation/Un-Installation * Auto-Popup field Help %26 
Pick-list ... Global setting or Individual fields. * Numerous 
maintenance touchups. * Multiple pages per form files with: - Collated 
%26 Non-collated print options - Next Page / Previous Page Toolbar 
buttons - Insert Page / Delete Page menu options - Page number in 
Status Bar * Print Field Data Only - for use with pre-printed forms. * 
Highlighted background (color is user adjustable) of any text or data 
input field. * Tips of the Day quick access screen. * Supports ISO 
paper sizes, metric measurements and extended length text objects. * 
Select and move multiple field names simultaneously in Fillout Order 
dialog box. * Direct TWAIN 
compliant scanner-to-form support. * Full text justification option. * 
Full zero suppression on calculated numeric fields. * The ability to 
import any device independent bitmap from Window's clipboard. * The 
ability to link graphic files to your forms (rather than embedding 
them) to save precious disk space.

And of course, much more...
