<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thought that you might have gotten your copy
from some place other than directly from the vendor. Sometimes you can get
a better price from Programmers Paradise or some 3rd party. In fact I
looked at Programmers Paradise and they didn't have Speed Ferret.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>William,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where did you find SF for $169, their web site
quotes $199? But with all things considered I think that I'd be better off
with a subscription, because when they release an Access 11 version, it
would cost another $100 to get the latest version.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm going to downloaf both SF and F & R and
try them out. I do like the advantage that SF has with the ability to do SQL
2000 in addition to multiple flavors of Access. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, many thanks to those who
responded.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...and I firmly disagree :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...I use SF (Speed Ferret) from <A
href="http://www.mosnannon.com">www.mosnannon.com</A> and it plain beats
the daylights out of F&R ...I just finished doing a use comparison
between SF and FR (Find&Replace) because so many here had
recommended it and I needed to either upgrade my version of speedferret
or replace it with FR.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...the ONLY advantage F&R has is cost
...at $49 it's far cheaper than SF at $169 :(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...but FR is a serial F&R tool and
its dead slow compared to SF ...I mean DEAD slow ...one use of FR and I
had no question about spending the extra money to upgrade my
current SF version :(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...and dear god not only is FR slow
but once you've started a F&R there is no getting out short of
crashing Access ...loved that! :(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...another major difference is the
way SF lets you view all of the pending changes on one
screen and select which to implement ...and remembers what was changed
so that you can roll it back if you make a mistake ...FR has no
comparable capability that I could find ...and I looked</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...SF is multi platform ...one tool to run
A97 thru AXP AND you get VB6 AND SQL Server capability as well
...FR is Access only and you have to load a different version for each
version of Access :(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...now I know that I'm going to get a ton
of FR fan mail from this list ...which is what led me to
try FR in the first place ...so before you go penning your little love
notes folks, do what I did and dl demos of both tools ...if after doing
a side-by-side comparison you're still an FR fan, why god bless your
pea-pickin' little soul cause you need it! :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...the only fault I've ever had with SF is
that they tend to be behind the power curve in getting new releases out
...it was more than six months after I had XP on my systems
before they released a production SF version that worked with it
:(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...but my bottom line is this ...the extra
$120 SF costs is well worth the money ...that's less than two billable
hours and I easily saved more than that using it rather than FR just
once to make major db changes :)</FONT></DIV>
