They'll get used to the turn-around time of mailing lists soon enough, if they are bothered to invest some time themselves. If they really need immediate answers, they can buy a support contract. Eventually, when nobody else in the mailing list provides a valid answer, Joe Mistachkin (member of the SQLite development team) usually picks it up. http://sqlite.org/crew.html > Would it be possible to write a document for people looking for > the right thing to download and install for their version of > .NET or the Visual IDE or whatever it is ?

Sure, it's all available at https://system.data.sqlite.org/ I think the material there covers most of the questions. -- Groet, Kees Nuyt _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
