So, you're an expert in Windows applications and databases and never read manuals? Fine. Here's a one-page overview of only the elements that are unusual or not obvious.

Alventis has UniGrids. Each lists tables from multiple Databases at the top. Perform a search, get some search results as-you-type. Open each result in a standalone InfoView form.

Available data sources are managed in the Database Explorer form.

Each Database's Queries are accessible via the Queries button. Reports are based on these Queries.

Designer is used to create from scratch tables and InfoViews. It has a FieldView form per Database. This lists tables, InfoViews, and fields. 6 fields are standard/System, the rest is up to you. Drag or double-click the fields and drag the tables onto the InfoViews to implement field-based items. You may need to set Rights and Security for newly-created objects if default rights are insufficient or non-existent. Relational Databases are supported.

InstaButtons are unique in that you can have as many of the same kind as you like, and they behave as if they were completely independent. You could have 3 Text Color and 5 Font InstaButtons. Clicking one applies its attributes to the selection. Shift-clicking it typically assigns the selection's attributes to the InstaButton. Drop-down the menu-like dialog to edit the relevant attributes. Color InstaButtons can only be edited but not Shift-assigned.

Splitters that have a little button in their right/bottom end are RotoSplitters. Click the button or Shift-double-click the RotoSplitter to rotate it 90º.

Invoke PanelZoom by double-clicking a Panel or calling the command on the toolbars/menus. The Panel will get zoomed (i.e., maximized) within the form. Note that not all Panels support this feature, but many do.

Memos support a unique MemoSearch feature. Enter the text into one of the Match bar combo boxes, set the marker color next to it, click the marker color button or hit Enter in the combo box: all matches in the Memo are highlighted and shown in the MatchBar next to the scrollbar. Click on it to go to the corresponding place in the Memo.

So, what does your stopwatch say? Don't tell us you weren't timing your reading!
