Hi Jean, Thanks for your reply. Sorry it took so long for mine but I was in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year and just got back on Sunday. I would definitely be interested in working with Calc. I currently use it to store my client's information and wanted to investigate the more advanced features including using BASIC. This may be an obvious question but how would you recommend I get started?
