    V3 Cardbox database app promises power and accessibility

    Major new V3.0 release of Cardbox database program for Windows priced from £54.99

    Cardbox Software Limited, the software house based in Speldhurst, Kent, announces the release of Version 3.0 of its database program Cardbox for Windows. This marks the eighth major release in a software family that began in 1982.

    Home Edition


    The new Home Edition of Cardbox (£54.99 inc VAT) is ideal for individuals and small businesses where the same person designs the database, owns the data, and operates the computer. Capacity of 10,000 records per database (Professional Edition limit is 16,000,000).

    The use of Cardbox typically spreads from one enthusiastic user to another and the Home Edition is designed to make Cardbox more infectious than ever. "If a friend recommends a program to you that costs as much as a weekend city break," says Martin Kochanski, "you'll thank him but you'll think twice about it. But if it costs £54.99 including VAT – as much as a decent dinner – you'll give it a try… and get hooked".
    Check out the release, which also includes info about the higher-priced Pro and Server editions and the provision of, wait for it, a 300-page colour manual. Oh, and there's a downloadable trial version if you fancy a bit of hands-on.

    Nice to see a throughly considered opinion based on...

    ...er, what?

    There's a trial download. Why not download it and try - and then see if a comment like yours has any justification?

    Or is the word "card" always synonymous with bad?

    Based entirely on the name ill admit, it just brought the hours of struggling trying to get it to do anything back to the fore.

    However having played with the only download i can find on the website (the client version) It doesnt seem too impressive, although ill admit it is relatively cheap, assuming the programming interface isnt seriously impressive ill stick with access for single user, or mysql/php for multi user apps i think.
