Contax Contax is a simple contact manager that imports data from and exports data to Microsoft Outlook. Although our client liked Outlook, they wanted to have contact information readily available from wherever they were. In addition, they wanted the capability to add custom fields and search criteria tailored to their own needs. They also wanted several reporting, filtering, and ad-hoc features that Outlook didn't have. The application runs over the Internet and auto-detects whether a firewall is in place. If one isn't, it will use a regular socket connection; if a firewall exists, it will use the http tunneling features provided by ASTA. The back-end database being used is InterBase 6. The project was developed with Delphi 6 utilizing ASTA 2.5 and other various components from Developer's Express, Raize, and Woll2Woll.
