I sprang for version ... 3 I think it was. I found it appalling. And virtually unusable. I really believed after using that beast that MS is making a strong effort to force everyone into Visual Basic. (Since I now do a lot of Access work, I guess they were successful with me, but I sure don't love them for it!) I wish I could use Ada at work, but screen painting and printing reports are so important that Ada would be a bad choice. But I sure keep looking for a different one than what I'm currently stuck with! -- (c) Charles Hixson -- Addition of advertisements or hyperlinks to products specifically prohibited --------------19559800029BECD2DEDD17B3 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="charleshixsn.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Charles Hixson Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="charleshixsn.vcf" begin:vcard n:Hixson;Charles x-mozilla-html:FALSE adr:;;;;;; version:2.1 email;internet:charleshixson@earthling.net fn:Charles Hixson end:vcard --------------19559800029BECD2DEDD17B3--
