Hi everyone,

If you're receiving this, it's because you or someone else entered your email address into our "I'd like more information about the EQL Data beta" box on http://eqldata.com. If this is a mistake, please reply to this message and we'll take you off our mailing list right away.

So what's new with EQL Data?

Well, this is actually the first beta tester mailing we've done - we've been busy working on the product instead of selling things. That means technically, everything is new! But that's not very interesting, so let me tell you a few specific things we've done in the last few months:

• We have a new knowledgebase starting at http://eqldata.com/kb/, that answers a bunch of questions about getting started and using EQL.
• An all new user's guide for Geosync, thanks to a lot of help from Jim at Cahaba Data. You can find it at http://eqldata.com/kb/1023.
• We just launched a great companion to our original Geosync product: EQL Access OnWeb. It really does let you run your entire Access application in a web browser - any browser on any operating system, as long as it supports flash. This is in limited beta right now, but it really works, so please let me know if you want to try it out! It's way cooler than our previous version that could only show basic Tables, Queries, and Charts.
• A completely new Geosync plugin with improved performance and reliability. There are lots more performance improvements still to come, but it's much, much, better than the first prototype, and it even runs in the background so you don't have to wait while it finishes. If you haven't tried our plugin in a while, it's well worth trying again.
• We revamped our pricing (again) to try to make it work out better for the different use cases people have brought up with us. Let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions about the pricing!

We're a really small company way up here in Canada. We just started in January, and we're not even old enough to have an official company phone number yet. I know, crazy, right? But we've just added a bunch of other new methods of contacting us, which you can find at http://eqldata.com/contact. Most of the methods just lead to me or Luke for now, which I guess is sort of unprofessional, but hey, how often do you get to talk to a Real Live Company Founder? Other than yourself, of course, if you're also a Real Live Company Founder, but then you're just talking to yourself, which is kinda weird. And why be weird? Talk to us instead.

What are you doing with EQL Data? What do you with Access could do, if only someone would add that one missing feature? What amazing database features are missing from your life?

Replying to this message will go straight to me, so please help yourself. I look forward to hearing from you!

Have fun,

Avery
