askSam 7 Professional

A FreeForm Database for Everyone

"A fluid and flexible software that frees you from the constraints of traditional databases." -- Writers Digest"

You have a lot of information that you'd like to organize into a searchable database, but unfortunately you've got little or no experience with setting up or maintaining databases. Of course, you could always go through the trials and tribulations of learning how to set up and operate some kind of convoluted database software...

...Or you could grab yourself a copy of askSam 7 and be up and running in minutes!

askSam 7 is what is known as a "free form" database, and the application is perfect for users who have information that needs organizing but don't want to become database programmers in order to do it. With askSam 7, there's no programming involved - not even query language syntax! Instead, askSam 7 takes any conceivable type of information - email messages, word processing documents, text files, spreadsheets, addresses, web pages, and the like - and turns that information into a searchable database.

It really is that simple. Using askSam 7, you only have two tasks - populate the database with information, then search it whenever you need to look up something. When it comes to populating an askSam 7 database, you can enter data manually, scan documents into the database, or import files directly into askSam 7 from a variety of formats, including Adobe PDF, text, RTF, HTML, Word, WordPerfect, email data types, database data types, and spreadsheets! You can even save web pages directly to askSam7 from within the browser! All of your information is organized into intuitive dynamic folders, bringing yet another degree of organization to your process.

Once you've populated your askSam 7 database, you'll find that there's never been an easier way to conduct searches. You can perform full text searches, use wildcards, boolean operators such as AND or NOT, proximity searches, date searches, and many more. Plus, with askSam 7, you can save your search results to an Excel spreadsheet file with a single click! And, when it comes to manipulating your data, you can use askSam 7's integrated drag-and-drop Report Writer to design great looking reports in a flash!

Ralph Bressler Does AS work with Firefox when saving/collecting web pages?
Nov 11 2011 at 12:36am
bvssunnydale This is my absolutely most valuable favorite program (been using for over 10 years now). My entire life is saved into this (emails, school lecture notes, news, internet articles of all kinds - I only save text to make it more portable). My boss thinks I'm a genius because every tiny work details is immediately accessible. I would suggest you develop your own personal keywords (eg any given 'page' in my askSam has multiple search terms, so 'John Doe, Plumber' have the heading if 'John Doe - Plumber' but the second line would be a list of keywords like "doet" & "plumbert' - The extra letter "T" at the end, after 20K pages, helps narrow down the search.). Further, I'd recommend a text "clean-up utility (like the free version of "Text Monkey" to strip internet text prior to saving) and an abbreviation program (like Shortkeys) to speed up text entry (when you absolutely must type). There's really no other program like this [and I'm not paid to say this, really!].
Nov 11 2011 at 4:40am
Ralph Bressler Since there was still no answer to my post above, I decided to find the answer for myself. I downloaded and installed the program and began to look "around". I was REALLY impressed! The interface was fine and the options and capabilities staggering. I began to think about all the ways I could use this program. Then I began to search for how to save a web page. I found it and went to Firefox. There was no option to save on the right-click menu as the instructions said there would be. I went to another site thinking that might be the problem. No luck! I tried using IE and it worked. I went back to Firefox and it began to dawn on me. This program does NOT SUPPORT Firefox!

The developer is trying to tell people that the program is supported and a new version is under development and it doesn't even support a Firefox! This may not be a major use for me but it is an indication of where this program is going and it is a DEAL KILLER. I believe that all potential buyers should seriously consider this point before buying.

I will wait for askSam 8 if it ever arrives and HAS Firefox support. Will there be an offer on BDJ?
Nov 11 2011 at 5:19am
Michael Sanders Dear Sam,

I'm a little confused. Will this version enable me to publish web pages with this as a result...

http://www.asksam.com/ebo...-oxley.ask

or this...

http://www.asksam.com/afltl/

Or do I need "askSam Web Publisher 7" in addition to this software for $1495?

Yours truly,
Potential Buyer

Jean Sibe What are the advantages compared to Ultra Recall and MS OneNote?
Nov 11 2011 at 7:16am
Mark Lynam @Jean Yeah, I'm wondering that, too. And for that matter, Evernote.

As well, what's the advantage versus X1 Professional Client?
Nov 11 2011 at 9:24am
barney Barnes Y'know, I'd really like to take advantage of this offer, but the site must be really, really busy ... been trying to get there since 0700 (it's now 1330), but the site always times out.
Nov 11 2011 at 11:44am
Ralph Bressler Why have there been no answers to our concerns from the "developer"? Time grows short and I would like to make an informed decision. I WANT askSam but I use Firefox! What do I do? Do I buy Ultra Recall?
Nov 11 2011 at 12:29pm
Wade Goodman Hi all - My apologies. I am traveling and have not been able to be online much today. I'll try to answer briefly.

- Unfortunately our web save does not support firefox - we're IE only.

- Thanks to bvssunnydale -- maybe we should make you an honoray member of our marketing team :-)

- askSam has another product called the Web Publisher that allows you to publish askSam pages to the web like the one you mentioned here. Call our office, 800-800-1997, and we can discuss a special BDJ price if you're interested.

- I would say that the main advantages of askSam are customizable fields -- I can create any number of data fields to organize my infomation and each document can have it's own set of fields. I like the use of database files to organize information. We have a strong report generator and ability to export iinformation to a variety of formats.

- No idea why the web page is timing out on you. I just checked it and can access it with no problem. I will have someone check into this though.

Sorry for the brevity. I will try to check in a few more times this evening if there are further questions.

Wade Goodman Apologies for the typos - I pressed enter before doing my edits.
askSam Systems Vendor - Nov 11 2011 at 1:05pm
bvssunnydale The FULL comments are un-readable (I'm using Chrome), what's up with that? This is the best program EVER.. and gets more valuable as you put more stuff in it [you have to put stuff in it]. You know how David Allen with his GTD (Getting Things Done) method says you have to have a place to STORE stuff - this it. And you can be up and running with it in minutes.. It's not a PIM strictly speaking [it could be used as one but I don't think that's it's main purpose] - this is for storing, organizing, retrieving information at lightning speed. Couldn't. live. without.it.

Stew Cam askSam 7 was released in mid 2008. It was a great program in its day but is is still going anywhere?

Roger Thomasson @ bvsunnydale

Are you referring to the BDJ comments? If so, would you mind sending me a screenshot at roger@bitsdujour.com so we can take a closer look?

Thanks!

Christina Reuter AskSam Developer -- Problem!

I intended to buy Ultra Recall Pro for $100. So, your offer is most opportune...EXCEPT I would like trying a trial or demo version before committing to your database. ..BUT after several attempts to access your web site, nothing...just this "Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to www.asksam.com" MAYBE you should consider extending your offer on account of this problem with your website. There is less than 2 hours left...and, well, I want to try askSam first...or at least read some details at your web site.
Nov 11 2011 at 8:08pm
Jim McGowan I cannot reach the AskSam site at all. I've been trying for the last hour and a half - nothing, not even a server error; just blank pages. Not timing out either. Anyone know the IP address so we can try using that instead of the URL? Perhaps the DNS resolution isn't working?

I am very tentatively considering askSam at this time. I am concerned like many because even with the large discount, the price is high, and the development is still in question - not only in the comments here but in other forums I frequent. Plus the non-support of Firefox hurts this app more than a little. After readking the 84 "Old Comments" above, nothing that was questioned then seems to have been resolved at all.

Decisions, decisions...

Nov 11 2011 at 11:37pm
Wade Goodman Hi all - I am very sorry for the download problems you are experiencing. We are working to correct this issue. I have extended this offer through the weekend.
askSam Systems Vendor - Nov 12 2011 at 6:27am
Wade Goodman I will respond back here as soon as we have these issues corrected.
askSam Systems Vendor - Nov 12 2011 at 6:31am
Jim McGowan Thank you Wade, though the Bits page still says that the offer has expired. And your website is still down. Confirmed again at http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Have you tried to get to the asksam.com site? If you are getting anything it is your cache because the site is presently not showing up on the web at all.

Walter Lindrum 1hr 15 mins till expiry and l cant reach the www.asksam.com website, consequently NEiTHER the Standard or Professional order windows are opening all my browser is saying is:

"The connection has timed out:

The server at www.asksam.com is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."

Gerard Booth Same result here
