Hi again Martin,

Just to let you know, you can now get trial versions of Noteshound.
If you want one, just go to our website (http://www.noteshound.com), hit the ‘Trial’ button, fill in and submit the form.
Once submitted, you will be sent a link to a trial version that won’t expire for at least a month.

Cheers

I know cheap is relative. My first impression was: “wow, it does seem to do great things that I could use!”, followed by “where’s the trial?” Investing in software is important, but putting money in the wrong tools is a shame. I don’t say your software is not good, I simply don’t know, I’d like to play with it.

‘Cheap’ is a relative term. Compared to what you need to pay for similar tools from other vendors, NotesHound is cheap. In particular when you consider that the license cost is a on-off, you get free upgrades forever.

When NotesHound was a pure Notes Client set of tools, we did have trial versions. At the moment we don’t - but we are seriously considering that option. Our problem is to keep the codebases in order without too much of a hassle.

Ken,
I looked at NotesHound; it could be worth the money, but it’s not cheap. Maybe a trial version would help?

Actually, getting the ‘Prohibit’ information is a subset of what you get from the Dependencies tool in NotesHound.

Thanks, but it’s easy how it got past you: I’m only really blogging since October 2007 :-).
It would be nice to see all dependencies of a database listed…

Thanks Martin, ditto for yours, dunno how this UI jewel got past me for so long

But I agree about the utility, it should definitely do more than just find the “prohibit…” items. I’ve never tried to interact programmatically (sp?) with design element properties but I find the thought of it intriguing none the less.

Keep the ideas rolling and the creative honey pouring

Hi Keith, thanks! Indeed, maybe this could be a new utility, but I think the tool should do more then than just showing “prohibit…”.
Btw nice website!

Cool idea. I think something like this would fair well on OpenNTF as a utility that would allow you to search all databases, or choice databases or whatever for design element reports.
