Brief list of New Features
for the Desktop version 8
Dead URL Link Checker
This new feature (available on the Tools menu after you open a textbase) gives you the ability to check the status of a URL link recorded in a textbase. Status information about the URL link (for example, whether it is live, live but with errors reported, or dead) is written to another field you designate in the same textbase. From the information provided after running the Dead URL Link Checker, you may find the need to make corrections to URL addresses or you may decide to delete addresses that no longer work.
Support for Long file names
DB/TextWorks now stores long file names internally for menu screens, link definitions, and image annotation lists. Previous versions stored the short file
name, such as Compan~1 for CompanyCatalog.
Recover Textbase command no longer truncates the name of the new, recovered textbase
Instead, the full name of the textbase is preserved and a counter (for example, the number "1") is appended to it.
For example, the CompanyCatalog remains CompanyCatalog, and the
recovered textbase is named CompanyCatalog1. If CompanyCatalog1 already
exists, then the name will become CompanyCatalog2.
Bar Code Generation application now available
This application is for new customers as well as those on maintenance who have not received this application. The BarCodes textbase and Bar Code Generation query screen let you create bar code numbers. Use the Bar Code Generation query screen to specify a starting bar code number and the quantity of new numbers you want to generate, print bar code labels, and mark bar code numbers as
printed
Compatible with Windows Server 2003

Brief list of new
features
for the web using WebPublisher PRO version 8
Index Browsing on the Web
An additional method is now available to browse indexes
(and paste selections) from a search screen on the Web. This new method
now allows some browsers, such as Netscape, which couldn't use the Word
Wheel, to successfully present indexes to the user and allow pasting
selections into search boxes.
Includes
You can now add information to areas of HTML reports previously inaccessible to the Form Designer. The new
"Includes" tab on the Advanced HTML Options dialog box lets you specify
"Includes" for one or more seams of the page.
You can now use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 to
create an interface for WebPublisher PRO databases
The new Inmagic.net menu for creating SOAP interfaces for Web services
interaction enables developers to use WebPublisher PRO as a Web service in conjunction with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003. The WebPublisher PRO SOAP interface supports the standard database functions of query (with optional sorting), update, insert, and delete, as well as additional functions unique to WebPublisher PRO.
Find out how many records meet your criteria without returning the actual records
This new feature can only be used when submitting a query to WebPublisher
PRO using XML. (This is not the normal method when exporting a query
from DBTW.) For more information, see the "Returning Only the Record Count for a Web Query"
topic in the online help. (In the online help, first use Find 'XML' then
browse to "Returning Only the Record Count for a Web Query)
Compatible with Windows Server 2003
Ability to automatically import XML
These features are available to those who purchase
DB/TextWorks now and to those who have InmagicADVANTAGE. Find out for yourself how InmagicADVANTAGE brings you a stream of DB/TextWorks enhancements throughout the year by clicking

Note:
The version 8 release of TextWorks and WebPublisher PRO version 8 introduces some rigid interdependencies between the products. Therefore, if you use both TextWorks and an unsupported Inmagic Web publishing product such as WebPublisher, WebPublisher Lite, WebPublisher PRO Lite or any version of WebPublisher PRO less than
version 8 you must upgrade both your products to version 8 in order for them to work
correctly.
All new features and changes to DB/TextWorks
and WebPublisher PRO version 8.0
can be found in the readme
file.
