the reason i'm asking is because, i finally gave up using dbase iv v1.5 embedded SQL to access data in my program. after finding LOTS of bugs that borland hesistated to fix, even finding them out before shipping the compiler and db4 version 2.0. i'm sick and tired of getting a particular bug, quitting and restarting dbase to fix it, i gave up on the experiment and gone back to the old, but working way. e-mail is fine, but horror stories should be public... later days... leo d. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Launchpad is an experimental internet BBS.
