Dear Bob Pasker:

If I can make a few suggestions:

(1) Don't write such long notes. Keep your queries short and to the point,
and you will get back more responses.

(2) With regard to your updating problems, see my response to the topic
"Filing Articles." I suspect that EN+ will not be adequate for your needs,
because it will not provide creation-modification dates unless you enter
them by hand. That's a basic auto-function in most databases, but NOT dear
old EN+.....

(3) Avoid creating multiple libraries; they only increase the possibility
for confusion. Use the Keyword line to provide topical "keys" and then
instruct the program (under the Edit menu) to maintain a QuickFind index
for Keywords. Searching for Keywords that way is the ONLY fast Search or
Sort that EN+ can perform. (NOT a limitation in other databases, I assure
you....)

(4) Good luck.
