Redlien Account Executive 1.5.2 (Mac OS X)

New Version - Fantastic Improvements  

Many changes to this new version. I am impressed with the speed of the new OpenBase system for fast access to all of my data. Great new interface. Very easy to get used to. Nice 'graphic' look as well. These guys have been working hard, and it's going to pay off!! Fantastic. If you need a program to accurately manage all contact info, emails, pdf's, the works...you won't be disappointed. Any past short-comings of previous versions are forgiven with this update. Everything installs easily. Upgrading from previous version was also easy. Even the pdf manual has been better put together for easy walkthrough for first timers. [alert admin]

Redlien Account Executive 1.3.4 (Mac OS X)

What it doesn't do  

It tracks client info, but it is not trustworthy of my business. A warning to those who plan on using it with any integration with iCal or a Palm device. IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. RAE will not syncronize to iCal, or iCal to RAE. Any information scheduled within RAE will temporarily show up in iCal, however, it will disappear when you iSync, or close and re-open iCal and try and add new data. This makes iCal and a Palm pilot very obsolete. I use my Palm extensively for making appointments on the road. I have found it very upsetting to lose my dates for any appointments scheduled by my Palm and dumped into iCal, where it is later 'removed' after having to re-input my appointments into RAE. (Does anyone like doing things twice?) Any new scheduled events done within RAE are placed into iCal and the entire iCalendar is simultaneously deleted upon doing an iSync to my computer and palm. Uploading info from iCal does not work!!! There is a 'sync to iCal' within RAE, but it does nothing. I have contacted RAE through email MANY times, but have never heard a single response back from them. I also know that this problem is RAE as I have done a clean install of everything, including latest versions of Palm Desktop Software 4.1, iSync 1.5, iSync conduit 1.2, and iCal 1.5.5. I even opened up a new .Mac account, and tried to publish an iCal after scheduling a bunch of events in RAE. I hit 'publish' and when I went to check my calendar online it informed me that the contents of the file were corrupt and could not be read. Hmmm...nice. RAE writes corrupt info to iCal. I then unPublished the calendar and scheduled some events from only within iCal, published, and everything worked just fine. Apple's own iSync, iCal, and Conduit for my Handspring, is perfect...just not the software I took for granted I paid money for. There are also other bugs in the system such as not being able to attach any kind of file to someone's contact information (i.e, .pdf, jpg, tiff) This product is not ready for personal or business use. Download the demo, but don't buy. [alert admin]
