With immediate effect, our software product ‘MDE Unlocker’ will no longer be available for purchase.

Our products and services have evolved over time and we feel that now is the right time to retire this product.

We have seen a distinct increase in clients using our MDE to MDB restoration service, and we anticipate that all potential MDE Unlocker users will now consider this instead, as we provide a full conversion service (which includes full VBA code restoration).

Please note: we will continue to offer full technical support for current MDE Unlocker users until 9th March 2014.

From today until 1st March 2013, all vbWatchdog licence holders (current and new customers) have the opportunity to buy vbMAPI licences at a huge 40% discounted rate*.

If you haven't yet heard about our wonderful vbMAPI product, which greatly simplifies working programmatically with Outlook, check it out HERE.

*Offer terms: vbMAPI licences must be paid for by bank transfer - details provided by our sales team on enquiry.

From 1st December 2011, the price for a single developer licence of vbMAPI is increasing to GBP £59 (USD $95, EUR €69).

This increase reflects the vast number of feature improvements that have been made to vbMAPI since its initial release.

As usual, this price includes dedicated product support (via e-mail) and offers fantastic value for money compared to our competitors offerings.

We would like to wish you all a happy and relaxing Easter break.

Don't forget, we currently have a great special offer of 50% discount on all licences for vbWatchdog (Global Error Handler Library) (until end of April).

We are now running a very special offer on our popular vbMAPI code library from now until 3rd Jan 2011.  The discount is nearly 20% off.  Grab a copy at this price while you can.

Merry Xmas to you all :)

OFFER EXTENDED UNTIL 31st Jan 2011. Happy new year!

• List the exact line number to identify the line of code that failed
• Report the full callstack that lead up to the exception
• List values of variables within each procedure on the callstack
