REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 27,1992 -- Approach for Windows rose past
Borland International's Paradox to achieve the number two position on the
Ingram Micro Bestseller List for databases. Ingram Micro's August list,
which will appear in next week's issue of Computer Reseller News, refers
to bestsellers for May. May was the second full month Approach for Windows
was on the market. Borland's dBASE IV topped the list.

"From the very first time we saw Approach for Windows we knew we had a
winner. We have been absolutely delighted with the sales rate. In our
experience, to climb to the number 2 spot on our Bestseller List so
rapidly is an incredible accomplishment," said Susan Salay, Senior
Director of Marketing at Ingram Micro.

"This confirms our belief that users want a relational database that
doesn't require programming, yet which is also compatible with their
last-generation products," said Kevin Harvey, President of Approach
Software Corporation.

"The market is moving rapidly towards sophisticated databases that even
first-time users can benefit from right away. The real winners are our
customers," he added.

Approach for Windows Approach for Windows is the only Windows database
that's easy to use, relational and 100% compatible with dBASE, Paradox and
Oracle SQL. The product, which requires no programming, allows users to
design reports, forms and mailing labels by simply using a mouse.
Suggested retail price is $399.
