Ever tried Cardbox? <http://www.cardbox.co.uk/> *Not freeware*
I know, but curios if you know any free Windows Dbs that resembles it?

Used the DOS version years ago. Did not design my own forms with it,
but used it with ready to go (handed down) db forms/files at a local
university. But it was lighting fast and easy to use as a text
storage/organizer/search and retrieval tool. Very efficient, was my
impression back then. I did later have a look at the (also commercial)
Windows version, maybe some two years ago or so ...but was not very
impressed. Lost the speed (of DOS) and looked/felt a bit clumsy and
awkward I thought - ...but its been a while - and I never got used to
the Win version since since I was only looking briefly at it - with a
time limited eval version.

Btw I wish they would release the old Dos version as freeware, but I
notice they still sell it - at least its in their price list
<http://www.cardbox.co.uk/dprice.htm>. For all I know there are
probably many lawfirms/libraries/educational institutions etc that
still use the DOS version.

All the best,

Nope, no freeware version in my analoge database (mind)

I looked at the demo download (May I thank VB3 for freezing my system) and
if I am correctly it is more a kind of DMS (Document management system) with
a custon information database. I have seen freeware DMS-es freeware, windbf
will do the form and databsae creations. but a combination? To bad winDBF
cant react with other programs...

I see. Thank you for your instant feedback! Hopefully your PC have
recovered OK from the VB freeze. :)
(and to Zack M.: Sorry - did not mean to hijack your thread...)

I suggest you guys go back to the original question and read it again
and again, until you understood it.

To the original poster:
You can also download Keynote and look for Keynote database files.
Keynote can export tot Treepad format. I have quite a number of both,
some of which are quite large, but they are for private and
professional purposes.
BTW, I am under the impression that the author is not putting any more
time and effort into the free Treepad version.

Well, It was just the first result I got back after my first (but falsly
inputed) google query. I did not even remotly consider the site being useful
at al (As in I see a tree on the first page, a small scan over the page
tells me it is about trees and it has something to do with database. Quick
laugh --> copy past link --> requery google with better words)

If I take this literally, ALmost all aviable databases are not on htat site.
The same for database utilities.

If he's looking for an other type of database, i provide him with a link to
a previous thread, where 20+ or so databases are reviewed, most with links
and description.

I had also anticipated he's looking for a database or program with a
treelike structure, and therefore provided hem with a link to TreeDBNotes,
as it seems quite simular.

I indeed had not onderstood he's searching for a database or utility with
the same structure, oreven other questions you might distilate out of the
given information. I leave alone if this is the result of my lack of
knowledge of the English language, or the lack of information given on the
OP's side. Anyway: I tried to give an good answer on the question as I have
onderstood it.

If this upsets you so much, it might be time for you to seek means (other
than this newsgroup) to communicate on freeware issues.

It's all in how you read it. My first impression was that the poster was
looking for treepad databases that someone else has gone to the trouble
of organising so that they can transform treepad into multiuses without
the set-up time?!

Hmmm... Certainly a possible interpretation to the given question. As said,
I have overlooked that option, and possible many others. It's about
interpretation, I supose

I have the database bug too. I used to be a database builder, writing
stand-alone programs in dBase III and IV.

One of my jobs used to be teaching computer novices how to create, use, and
maintain a database for their small businesses. I migrated to Lotus
Approach(O/T). It was the only affordable database program that my customers
could learn quickly and teach themselves after I gave them a few lessons.

Mightykitten, do you know of a freeware database program that's dBase
compatible (or at least exports in comma-delimited ASCII) and is actually
usable? I guess I've tried 10 of them, and didn't have any luck at all.

Quite so, MK, but as I'm interested in that sort of thing I thought you had
serendipitiously (finding something good you weren't looking for) turned up
a little goldmine.

I was gutted to find out it's no good!

Ah... An other seeker! :-) Join the club...

I don't have a straight answare (yet) for a nice util, other as winDBF
(comes closest to something I think is acceptable, but alas, its in German

Useable databases are:
Dos Based (and often abandonware); NBASE for example
Shareware
Commercial

If you realy want, I can soft out the dos apps I've downloades since your
post (it will take a while though....)

This you might find interisting though:
CDBF Shell
The CDBF Shell extension allows you to view content or structure of DBF
files in the Properties window without opening them. The CDBF Shell
extension supports dBase III, dBase IV, FoxPro, and Visual FoxPro formats.

Thanks for the offer MK, but no thanks. I've probably tried most anyway. I
just thought there might be a good one I overlooked.
