What's new in this version:
Changes:
- The Create New Field w/Content... (in the Fields submenu, under the Edit menu) dialog no longer retains values from previous uses during a single iData 3 session.
- When the Test Addresses button in a template window is clicked, iData 3 now takes changes in the records selection into account when redisplaying the template.
- Added a Text Encoding option to the dialog for Tab-delimited File... export (in the Export As submenu, under the File menu). Select UTF-8 when exporting a datafile to be imported into the Apple Address Book under OS 10.4.x (Tiger). Select UTF-16 (the default option) for most other purposes.
- Fixed a bug where Create New Field w/Content... could create one record too few when applied to a new datafile with only one empty record.
- Fixed a bug in the routine to automatically add a fill a field with sequential numbers failed to work properly if the first number added in the Create New Field w/Content... routine was greater than 1.
- Fixed a Tiger-only bug that made using the Save As... routine on a synchronized datafile, and immediately making and saving changes to the new datafile, a little clunky.

iData is the best freeform database/snippet keeper out there. It's indispensable. I use it mainly as a free-form database with no fields. I see it as a shoe box into which I can throw slips of paper with all kinds of information and find the one I want instantly. I have several "shoe boxes" for different categories of info.
I never used multiple fields in iData because I use other databases such as FileMaker and Panorama. I wanted iData to be the shoe box with a zillion notes. Then I realized that I could also keep a database of Entourage email messages in iData3. Wow. The messages are imported with automatic fields for "Subject," "To," "From," etc. It worked without a glitch. So it does have many uses.
I agree that the price is on the high side. But it's worth more than that to me.

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!
