For VB programmers . . . VB ELF - It's Here!

English Language Frontend for Visual Basic Developers

Add natural language database query capability to any Visual Basic database application, with just a few lines of code. Plus .OCX controls for VB and Delphi ... you can even snap one onto an Access form!

• Developer's Edition Deluxe (with full VB source code and OCX source).
• Developer's Edition -- OLE server and OCX versions (without source).
• VB Programmer's Version -- OLE-server natural language kit for VB projects only (no OCX/no source).
• Stand-alone, single-user version -- For plain-English access to your databases, when you don't have access to Access.
• Internet Server License -- Let the whole world log on to your database, in plain English, with economical per-server licensing of our OLE Language Engine.

No royalties or runtime charges, ever.

You've never seen anything like this. Type "Compare the number of orders, showing the employee name and product." Click Graph response, and see a crosstab (3-dimensional) graph appear in seconds... completely customizable. Type "Graph the high, low, and close for XYZ stock on June 30th of each year." and instantly have a view of your trend. Type "Which employees have birthdays during the next month?" and get an action list in a heartbeat. And you can build this into any Visual Basic application, including those that work from ODBC databases like Oracle, Sybase SQL Anywhere, OR from Paradox, dBase, FoxBASE or Excel data.

Writing ad hoc queries can eat up a lot of time better spent on developing applications... and your programming skills. Here's a tool that finally relieves this day-to-day burden. You shouldn't have to be the intermediary between your department and their data.

Today, tougher business requirements are driving an explosive demand for end-user information access. Companies must bridge the gap between the way business users work and the way technology works to achieve their goals. With VB ELF embedded into your database projects, all users can help themselves to the information they need.

What's more, there are no per-user or other royalty charges. For less than the cost of a single-user license of our competitors' software, you obtain the right to embed VB ELF in any and all of your distributable .exe files. For just about the cost of one single-user license of English Wizard, you can purchase an additional Internet Server License for VB ELF, allowing you to English-enable your Web databases. If you need help getting your database on the Web, or setting up our language frontend software, that comes at no additional charge.
