We are proud to announce that the eagerly anticipated VERSION 3 of vbWatchdog is currently being beta tested by a private group of developers.

The product has been months in the making, and we've ensured there's something for everyone in this major update.  Being our flagship product, we want to ensure our customers get the chance to test the pre-release version of vbWatchdog.  Please drop us an e-mail if you wish to get involved.

ESTIMATED RELEASE DATE: 10th JUNE 2013

Customers on an active support package will receive a free upgrade. Orders since May 1st 2013 will receive a complimentary upgrade to version 3.

Some teasers...

• A new ErrEx.State of OnErrorUnwind (like OnErrorEnd, but no reset of global variables)
• A new ErrEx.ReThrow method for throwing a locally handled error back up the callstack when inside an ErrEx.Catch block
• The VariablesInspector has been extended with type information inside variable-dumps (displays the default property of objects where appropriate, and also identifies the real class type of generic objects/variants where possible)
• New properties such as:
  ErrEx.SourceProjectFilename,
  ErrEx.SourceVBEProject,
  ErrEx.SourceProjectIsCompiled,
  ErrEx.SourceProjectIsSaved,
  ErrEx.SourceProjectConditionalCompilationArgs
• ErrorDialog improvements:
  customizable graphic (including transparency options),
  OnKeyDown event,
  FlashWindowOnOpen boolean property
• Smaller binary size than version2
• Lower memory usage than version2
• Many efficiency and performance improvements, with a totally re-written core
• vbWatchdog no longer requires the 'Allow programmatic access to the VBA project' switch in VBA hosts like Excel
• Now supports all VBA hosts, even those that don't expose an Application.VBE property, like Outlook
• Downloadable PDF manual for registered users

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.

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!

• No DLLs required - vbWatchdog is coded neatly inside your VBA environment

• 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

• Prevents the Access Runtime from closing on unhandled errors
• Includes a customizable HTML based error dialog at your fingertips
