What can replace Appleworks database?

My non-profit business database has been on Appleworks forever! Mainly that means names and addresses and record of monthly contributions, from which I send a mail merge letter of acknowledgement to contributors each month. Now I have read that Appleworks will not work on Lion. If I understand correctly, Bento can’t do mail merge with auto fill-in of addresses and other personalized info. So what can I transfer all this info to? And HOW will I transfer years of records on my Appleworks database?

The only program with anything like the functionality of the AppleWorks database is FileMaker Pro. It's expensive, and has a steep learning curve, but can do almost anything the AW database can plus a good deal more. It's also pretty well the industry standard so it's not likely to go away.
However it can't import AW dateabases; you have to export them as ASCII text and import that, which means you will have to recreate layouts and calculation fields.

There are dozens of similar applications. A good one to look at is Mind Your Own Business - MYOB. Another is MoneyDance.
Look for all of them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

What can replace WinHelp?

I produce online help in WinHelp format that we attach to a
graphical-user-interface (GUI) overlay on our AS/400 applications.
When the application user clicks the Help button, the online help
opens to either the specific topic for that window or to the help
system's Welcome page.
We would prefer to switch our help format to HTMLHelp (CHM
file), but cannot because of Microsoft Security Update 896358. Some
of our writers work on a server and some of our clients run
applications (and therefore Help) on a server, and the security
update, as some of you well know, will not allow CHM files to work
on a server (at least not without some registry editing, which our
software security people are not inclined to do).
If it is true, as I have been told, that WinHelp is
essentially a dying (if not dead) format, and we cannot use CHM,
what alternatives do we have? Is there anything else that can
replace WinHelp? I know about the relatively simple workarounds if
the CHM file is downloaded from the Internet, but that's not the
case with us; it is attached to the application itself.
Does anybody have any suggestions? They would be much
appreciated.
Thanks.

Sara,
What I would do in your situation is to create a CHM file
that has all your content, but use the WinHelp 2000 viewer to
display the HTML topic in your WinHelp file on the right hand side.
You would have to code a topic-level macro to jump to the correct
topic in the CHM file. You will also need to distribue the CHM file
with your WinHelp projet files so, for example, if you have
APP1.HLP, you would also distribute APP1.CHM.
This approach does three things for you:
1) it allows you to code your content in HTML while you wait
for Dev to catch up
2) it allows you to be ready for when Dev says, "we're
starting the conversion of our apps."
3) it allows you to do the conversion to HTML in pieces. You
only have to add the topic-level macros to those topics that have
been converted to HTML. You can still have some topics in WinHelp.
I do this now for our internal help file and it works well.
When Dev changes, you will already have your content in HTML
and will only have to make changes that are based upon any
interface changes. Otherwise, you would have to code the HTML as
part of the conversion from WinHelp to HTML and also code the HTML
to adapt the changes that are made to the interface.
Hint: At the same time that you are creating the CHM file,
you should be coding your Index and building the TOC, even though
no one will see the TOC and Index until you are 100% using CHM
files.

What can replace distiller 6.0

We are currently using Acrobat Distiller 6.0 to convert ps files to PDF on Windows server 2003. We are swithing to windows server 2008.
What can we replace the 6.0 distiller.that will give us the same functionality.

Sorry, I don't know the product. It has its own forum LiveCycle PDF Generator though it does not frankly seem very active. It is one of a class of enteprise server products all called LiveCycle something. I have read that these typically support a Java API and watched folders. PDF Generator comes in various editions, one which is little more than Distiller, but others accept a wide variety of input e.g. Office documents, and can export too.

What can replace the hit counter - preferably one without ads - an html code?

I'm looking for some html code for a hit counter to replace the one from iweb.
The free sources all have ads associated with them.

Statcounter is kind of overkill for most websites much like Google Analytics.
You will get a link to a whole bunch of simple hit counters on this page...

What can replace my GeForce 2Ti Pro-VT?

I have a GeForce 2Ti Pro-VT (MS-8836), and am looking for a replacement as I'm giving this card to my dad. Is there a similar MSI card (with video IN/OUT) available? I've tried to find one in the MSI product list, but only the top end cards have video in. I really like this card - it's been good value.
I'm not really looking for a big improvement in performance. Just a cheap replacement.

The cards with "VTD" have video in
It's available on FX5200 and 5600 models at pretty affordable prices.

What can replace zinio magazine app/how access magazines on playbook?

Hi,
I would like to read a few magazines on my playbook but Zinio offers no cost savings off the sale price. Is there some other app to use? Rogers next issue doesn't work on playbook.

As for the adult-material censorship, things haven't changed one bit. The only "comforting" news is that (as I knew) Android devices are enforcing the same policy. I wrote to Zinio complaining about the issue, and asked them if they were not considering an alternative way of letting us read those magazines (such as complimentary pdf copy), and this was the quite brutal answer, that made me cancel my Zinio subscription.
Thank you for contacting Zinio Customer Support.
Apple, The Android Market, and other providers restrict adult content for mobile devices. Until they eliminate these restrictions, Zinio cannot provide adult content for the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android. Zinio is not considering any options for making the content available to mobile devices at this time.
I understand that this is not "their" problem not their fault, but still, there are a lot of services providing adult material for iOS devices, such as mobile friendly websites... and then apps such as goodreader or bookman allowing you to load whatever material you want...
Bottomline: on the one hand Apple are a bunch of hypcrites, favoring the "as long as you do it yourself" rule. I am not one of those making a lot of fuss about the way manufacturers treat their employees at Foxconn & co., but **** what, it is not moral to read adult magazines but it is moral to treat workers as slaves? I hardly think so...
On the other hand, distributors such as Zinio should make an effort to bypass Apple's silly regulations. I am sure that if they provide iOS users with a free copy (maybe don't make it super high quality, password protect it, I don't know) of adult-magazines they would prevent users from ditching their subscription and go for illegal pdf copies...

Any ideas for an alternative to AppleWorks Database?

I've always used the AppleWorks Database to keep a record of my self-employed income. To be specific I use the 'Cheque Register' template which simply has four fields, one of which is the amount (paid to me, although I suppose the template's really for money spent - doesn't make any effective difference). Can anyone suggest a similarly simple solution for me to use when I upgrade to Lion? I don't need an all-singing all-dancing accounts package. I am only interested in recording and totalling my income, noting who it's from, and adding any additional info I want to remember. No expenses, no budgeting, just income. I could (just about, I think) cope with creating a database, but have no idea how to make it user friendly. I've got Office for Mac, but that doesn't have a database, does it?
Thanks.

Unless you're making use of the very flexible layout options provided by AppleWorks's database, I'd move it into a spreadsheet application, such a Numbers.
I don't see a "Checkbook Register" template or assistant in AppleWorks 6. AppleWorks 5 did include a "Checkbook and Ledger" database template, which included the check register layout shown below.
As far as I know, the only application that can open AppleWorks database files is AppleWorks. If, as Csound1 suggests, Bento is able to open AW database files, that ability will quite likely apply only to files saved as AppleWorks 6 files.
To transfer the data to a new application, it will first be necessary to Save or Export the file as Text (or ASCII Text). This will produce a file containing the data (entered or calculated), but not the formulas that produced the data. You may also be able to transfer the data using Copy/Paste, with the same results. Use List view (in the Layout menu) to do this.
Once it's in the new spreadsheet, you'll need to reconstruct the formulas.
Regards,
Barry

We can replace of some kind of databases using Oacle Coherence?

We can replace of some kind of databases using Oacle Coherence?
Some kind of database can be replaced by Oracle Coherence using the Serialization Paged Cache as the backing storage for the service and using the Serialization Paged Cache as the backup store on disks.
Do you agree with me?

So far basically what I did for the connection was create a constant equal to the name of the database, in the servlet. I will post my Servlet code so far, and I suppose it would help people with either I am going about this all wrong, or on the right track.
public class SMServ extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet{
      private static void initialize()throws SQLException {
      String dataSourceName = Constants.MY_DS;
      try{
      Context wocContext = new InitialContext();
      DataSource ds = (DataSource)wocContext.lookup(dataSourceName);
      Connection conn = null;
      conn = ds.getConnection();
      }catch(NamingException ne){
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
          throws ServletException,IOException{
RequestDispatcher rdSearch =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/RTMain.jsp");
if (rdSearch != null)
rdSearch.forward(req,res);
}The doGet is there, because what is supposed to happen is the Servlet is supposed to be hit first then go to the jsp. My jsp basically just has a button sitting on it, all I am trying to get out of this is, a button click on the jsp will trigger a hardcoded SQL statement to pull data. As most of you can understand, my purpose is to see this relationship working so I can understand it. I am not sure if I am completely right on my DS setup there. The Constants.MY_DS is from another class, that is basicallypublic static final String MY_DS = "name of my database"; Name of the database being the one I have an established connection to in rad.

What can be used for replacing SELECT SINGLE *   ?

What can be used for replacing SELECT SINGLE * for improving the performance in the following statements?
SELECT SINGLE * FROM REGUV
   WHERE LAUFD = G_WLAUFD "RUN DATE ,SY-DATUM
     AND LAUFI = P_LAUFI. "IDENTICATION NO
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T100
   INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF G_T100_WA
    WHERE SPRSL = G_T_IALLMESS-MSGSPRA
      AND ARBGB = G_T_IALLMESS-MSGID
      AND MSGNR = G_T_IALLMESS-MSGNR.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM TBTCO
   INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TBTCO
    WHERE JOBNAME = FS_JOBNAME.

If you need all the fields and you know that only one record exists then u need to use select single * only. You can improve the performance by specifying key fields in the where clause of select statements. If the structure of the work area or internal table in which you are fetching the data is same as that of the database table then no need to use corresponding fields clause.

Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
(When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
Have a nice day!

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

By default iWeb keeps its data in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb in a file named Domain. Without this file you cannot proceed (other than by recreating the site from scratch using the published version as a reference) so you need to locate it on the original disk.
To confuse matters, Apple have hidden the user’s Library folder in Lion and Mountain Lion to casual viewers, in an attempt to stop new Mac users messing their machines up. To access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice.
