OVERVIEW
--------

This is the 32 bit version of The Address Manager intended for users of Microsoft Windows 95, 
or Windows 98(R) or Windows NT.

The Address Manager enables you to store your business and personal names, address, 
phone numbers, email address, memo, anniversary and group these records in any category you 
desire and have these records at your finger tip. With 20 search option, you can find a record 
by enter whole or partial word and selecting the field to search if no match is found you will 
be given option to change search criteria or cancel search. With The Address Manager you will be 
able to store an anniversary date, which will start reminding you three days prior to that event, 
you will also be able to search for anniversary dates by month or day. You will be able to mark 
your records for printing or deleting. Print your records with or without return address to any 
size envelope or popular Avery label size and also have the ability to print detail customize 
address, store memo on each record, automatic detect modem and dial any voice phone number in 
your record. Eight (8) button storing names for speed dialling or manually dial your number. 
Store over 250 cities, over 300 state/Province and countries. I have tried to make The Address 
Manager as user friendly as possible, for instance all first letter in every field goes to 
uppercase, if company field is blank then it skips title, same goes for address1 field, if that 
field is blank the cursor goes to the email field. If you edit a field in the personal table and 
change to company table, if that person name exist in both tables The Address Manager will move 
to that name in new table. You will also find the keypad is an easy and fast way to your records, 
simply by pressing a letter on the keypad will move to the first record starting with that 
letter and every press after will move to the next record  starting with that letter until no 
match is found. You can also move to next, previous, first or last record by the press of a 
button, record numbering keep track of record position and total record in database.
