What others are saying about the new ShoWorks 2006 upgrade

"I just wish I’d taken the (ShoWorks 2006 upgrade) plunge earlier! The Quick Entries feature is huge, mainly because I can save different layouts. It’s really going to streamline how we’ll do things. Great job on the updates. Lots of little things that are really cool."
Thane Barnier - Sioux Empire Farm Show, SD

"I have just recently upgraded to ShoWorks 2006. I love it. The ease of getting our entries in is so simple. My helpers have loved it. Thanks again for a great product and support."
Vicki Bowen - Nolan County Livestock Assn, TX

"I loved the ShoWorks 2006 (upgrade) - looks like you & your staff have outdone themselves once again!"
Lisa Barr - Four States Fair, AR

"We completed our 4-H livestock auction on Saturday and found the new-and-improved version of ShoWorks to be better than ever, particularly with respect to buyer check-out procedures. We also operated over a wireless network, and our 8-hour sale moved along without any hardware or software hiccups."
Randall L. Dickson - Marshall County Fair, IN

"One of the greatest advantages to ShoWorks is the program is built on Microsoft Access. The companion program (that comes with ShoWorks 2006) allows the user the flexibility to use the power of Microsoft programs to both get data in and out of ShoWorks. This is a very valuable tool and a great time saver in building the database for our fair. Examples include pasting almost 3000 classes in the data base from Excel. The ability to analyze data from a report in Excel is a tool we have put to use many times."
Bill Gay - Johnson County Fair, KS
