The sold-out International Q&A Users Conference 2001 (held January 12-14 in Irvine, California) was a smashing success!
Read the complete report on it.

With 150 attendees from 11 countries, this was the biggest Q&A User and Developer gathering ever!

The complete digitally-recorded VHS Videotape Set of all conference presentations (including the electrifying two-and-a-half-hour demonstration of the new Q&A-compatible database manager now under development) is now available. The set includes a CD with all the speakers' handouts and presentation demo and sample files.

New Q&A-Compatible Database Announced!
International Q&A Conference Set for January!

August 1, 2000, Newtown, PA
AN INTERNATIONAL TEAM of Q&A users and consultants (names you will recognize) has formed a company called Lantica Software LLC (www.lantica.com). The company is currently developing a new 21st century database manager as a successor to Q&A that will provide a bridge to the future for the Q&A community. This product will be programmable, include macro-like automation capabilities, be client/server oriented, and have the ability to run on all Microsoft operating systems from 9x on as well as on Windows and Linux/Unix Web servers. It will be as easy to use but more powerful than the Q&A you’re now using. Still early in development, the product will be designed to convert Q&A databases, including forms, data, indexes, programming, reports and more. Further information will be supplied as development continues.

In the meantime . . .
Marble Publications, publisher of The Quick Answer, and The Worldwide Q&A Users Group, in association with Lantica Software LLC, proudly announce that The International Q&A Users Conference 2001 (in past years called the "Q&A Users Group Bash" and "Q&A Masters Seminar") will be held January 12-14 in Orange County California. The theme of this event will be:

Q&A and the Future.… Expanding the Functionality of Q&A Now and Migrating to Lantica Database Products in the Future.

The Lantica Software LLC product development team will be introduced at this conference and the new product under development will be demonstrated. Attendees will be able to apply to be beta testers and will receive $50 discount coupons toward the purchase of the new database product when it is released in the third quarter of 2001.

Attendees will also receive in depth training in the following areas:

• Using third party utilities to extend Q&A’s capabilities (including John Dow’s "DTF" products).
• Running Q&A in today’s operating systems and networks, including Windows 2000 and Windows ME.
• Printer and printing issues.
• How to keep your Q&A databases healthy and trouble-free.
• Integrating Q&A data with Microsoft Office products.
• Publishing and Accessing Q&A data on Web Sites.
• Troubleshooting problems with running Q&A on a network.

This is an important event for all Q&A users and developers whose companies, organizations or departments currently run Q&A for DOS or Q&A for Windows applications.

Your host and Master of Ceremonies for The International Q&A Users Conference 2001 will be The Quick Answer’s Editor and Publisher, Tom Marcellus.
