Introducing PTWin32 |
PTWin32
is a complex relational database system with over 70 interconnected data tables
that contain more than 1,000 fields. Information in these tables is organized to
best suit the needs of the computer. When
you use PTWin32 the data in the tables is extracted, prepared, and presented to
you in a way that best suits the needs of you, the user. You could say we
“hide” the stuff that users don’t need to know about. Just like you
don’t need to be an automobile engineer in order to drive a car. But when you
decide to create your own reports you do lift the hood and go from driver to
home mechanic. To
make reports you need a rudimentary knowledge of PTWin32’s data structures.
This information is not hard to master but it takes effort beyond that required
for simple PTWin32 use. Making the software open for use with 3rd-party
products limits what we can
“hide” since we don’t control those products. There
are lots of things you can do on your own if you understand a little about how
PTWin32 works and we encourage this in our users. If you need help we are there
with free technical support. We just want you to appreciate the extra effort
that will be required to author your own report formats. Our
users who commit to making their own, more complicated reports usually succeed,
but some of our users don’t have time, or would rather not expend the effort
necessary to make some or all of their specialized reports. If this is your
situation give us a call and we can tell you what it will take to have those
reports made for you.
