Opinions on Speed Ferret?
- Thread starter wyld
- Start date
Wyld,
I bought SpeedFerret based on opinions from M/S Newsgroup user. I found it very helpful for doing "where used" searches so that I could prune an overstuffed Access2000 DB. It also would be very helpful in doing mass find/replacements but I have not done that yet. However, I think it lacks a key feature - Detect all unused references in one search. You have to enter each component name and search on it. The searches are a bit slow (on a 450MHZ machine) but compared to the time it would have taken me by hand, it was priceless. Overall, good ease of use once you figure out the interface. Price was reasonable, too.
