Press Release - 18 October 2003

KaioneSoft Releases SprintDB Pro 2 and the Desktop Companion: Even more "Brute Power!"

KaioneSoft has put in a massive effort to develop the next generation of SprintDB Pro - SprintDB Pro 2 for the Pocket PC. And a brand new Desktop Companion application which is fully compatible with the Pocket PC version.

SprintDB Pro 2 is truly evolutionary! KaioneSoft has managed to get far more out of the Microsoft Pocket Access engine (ADOCE) than anyone imagined was possible. The wealth of commands and functions is breath taking - and it doesn't require a genius to get the most out of them. SprintDB Pro is surprisingly easy to learn with its logical, intuitive user interface.

The Desktop Companion

The SprintDB Pro Desktop Companion (above) allows you to develop your SprintDB Pro 2 Pocket PC applications on your Desktop or Notebook PC with SprintDB Pro version 2.0. This provides the user with a development environment which is far easier to use and therefore allows you to create feature-rich applications more quickly than is possible on the limited screen real estate of the Pocket PC. Of course there is nothing preventing you from using the Desktop Companion to create PC-only database applications or applications that you want to run on both platforms.

The user interface is the familiar Windows MDI format which allows you to open multiple windows simultaneously. You can, for instance, open a database in Table view, open multiple SprintDB Pro forms in either Edit or Run mode. This gives you unprecedented control over the SprintDB Pro development process.

Pocket Outlook Compatibility
SprintDB Pro 2
has now added full compatibility with the Pocket Outlook contact database, which is supplied as standard with all new Pocket PCs. Using simple macro commands and database functions, it's easy to manipulate any of the fields in the Outlook database. You can add new contacts, delete existing ones and perform complex searches.

Module Support
Now support Modules. Providing you with unprecedented control over your code. Modules are available to all the forms in a database, and you can also pass parameters to them.

New Features in Version 2.0

  • Now supports Modules. Providing you with unprecedented control over your code.
  • Pocket Outlook macros and functions.

  • Fully Professional Help System, including an easy to follow step, by step Tutorial.

Easy Development Environment
The most impressive feature is the ease of use - even on the Pocket PC. KaioneSoft provides the user with a very easy-to-use Macro and SQL builder based on a selecting items from from drop-down boxes. This is probably the easiest-to-use application development system available for this platform. The constructed commands, statements and functions are stored in a list control from which they can be edited, moved up or down or deleted. Expressions can also be edited in a separate editor. SQL statements can be easily constructed and edited using a similar interface.

One of the great joys of building applications with SprintDB Pro is the ability to copy and paste controls. In SprintDB Pro 2, you can even copy controls from one form to another. For example, you can copy a button control containing many lines of code from 'Tab1' and paste it onto 'Tab2' - and never lose its code. So it is very easy to create the equivalent of a VB 'Control Array' quickly and easily.

User interface design is a breeze! The UI design environment allows you to select multiple controls and drag and drop them anywhere on the screen. You can also "micro-adjust" a control's position at single pixel resolution, using the Up, Down, Left and Right arrow buttons. A great little (and often used) feature is the 'Bring to Top' and 'Send to Back' commands that allows you to place labels very close to edit boxes - so important when designing a UI for the Pocket PC.

Massive, Fast Record Handling Ability
SprintDB Pro 2 is also extremely fast. Many users of competing Pocket PC database products complain about how slow these programs are. KaioneSoft customers consistently praise SprintDB Pro's speed.

A Competitive, Cost Effective Solution

  • SprintDB Pro 2.0: US$24.89
  • SprintDB Pro 2.0 + Printing: US$34.89
  • SprintDB Pro Desktop Companion: US$24.89

SprintDB Pro 2 is without doubt the best value-for-money product of its type. It is extremely fast, easy-to-learn and use and really delivers on its promise of "Brute Database Power for the Pocket PC". Don't take our word for it - try it for yourself!
