Visual Access is a database driven, WEB ready hyperlink Image filing System.

Simple enough to be operated by a child and powerful enough to be used in
commercial business applications, Visual Access is a power tool that belongs 
on every desktop.

What does Visual Access do ? This program allows you to make use of image
files in ways not previously possible, at least not at reasonable prices.
With this product, you identify the images you wish to load into the library
using standard common dialog windows. You provide common names to these images
for later retrieval using the image library database. Once you have selected
an image you can click and drag (similar to SHED) to create hotspots on the
image. These hotspots can be virtually anything, sticky notes, sound files,
image files, database records, etc.. You can provide common names to the
hotspots themselves for later retrieval using the connection library database.
This information can be viewed locally or over a LAN. You can also use this
application in conjunction with other Windows apps, such as Word or Visio.

The images, along with the connection information , can be published in two
ways. First, you can use the Import/Export functions to send or receive data
at remote sites. This is useful for laptop computers without access to the
Internet. Second, you can create a WEB page containing the image, the connections,
a linked list, an e-mail address, and any other text you wish to place on the
page. The WEB Page Builder contains a number of editing options to spruce up
your page.

If you are using this product at home, you can have your child sing Happy
Birthday to grandma, show a clip of a school play, etc, etc, 
and let grandma see the pictures and hear the voices.

If you are an auto parts company, you can spot up engine diagrams with
part numbers and prices, reducing the load on your counter help.

This program includes a help file and comes in two editions, Personal and Network.
