Having heard the raves here, and observing the positive statments on UR's forum, I decided to give it a more serious try.
Starting with the web features, I found that neither the drag 'n drop url or the import page feature worked as the help file indicated it would. After successfully completing the first drag 'n drop of a url from the address bar, the program refused to drag any more urls. When I tried to import a web page, the program tried instead to import a web page that had been opened about three pages previously.
I find the hlep file, while lengthy is also at times fairly difficult to understand.
In terms of viewing and saving web pages ADM3 appears to be much superior.
Until I can play around soem more with UR, it so far appears to be much ado about little.

You seem to have found a bug, the first one I've encounterd in UR. The next import of a web page by drag and drop has issues. I just reported it to them, and also the second issue above, which I didn't try to verify.

I went ahead an bought a license of UltraRecall and have begun the process of transferring my InfoSelect data into UR. I think I agree with you, Daly, that as an overall data management machine, UR isn't as strong as ADM. However, for my purposes, it works great and was less than half the price of ADM. Plus it is a very fine program that's only still in its infancy, so I expect its power to grow.
