I've been a happy user of iData 3 since this indispensable product was called "Quick Dex". It's in my Startup Items and always ready to go when I sit down to work. I currently have over 5,000 "Freeform" records, many with embedded images.

Part of the beauty of iData 3 are the nearly-instantaneous search and sorting functions.

Recently I had a badly corrupted ID3 file due, I believe, to a USB hardware system crash that brought down my computer before I could save iData 3 changes. Robin Casady and Mike Wright of iData3.com stepped to the fore and recovered 99.9 percent of my file.

Another developer might have said - with some justification - "You have a backup file, don't you: Just use that." (I DID have a backup file; let's just say that it was a few days old.)

Mike and Robin provide a world-class product with world-class support and I'm always happy to pay the price for major version upgrades; it's always a reasonable amount for current iData 3 owners.

Highly recommended!
