Hello Malkie, Although I'm one of the stubborn dinosaurs still enamored of DP (since 1988), I too see the end of this joyride. I've been looking at alternatives out there and I just started checking out Libreoffice's Base. It can run on Windows (XP, 7 and 8) or Linux, plus it comes in an office suite program compatible with word and excel. Immediate draw of course is that it's free software.
Has anyone in this group experimented with Libreoffice's base yet? I would appreciate comments, reviews or suggestions about it.

Hi Everyone; Haven't heard from our DP friends for a long time. What happened? Has DP become so defunct that I'm the only one left using it? ; ( Many of my clients and I have upgraded to Win 64-bit but apparently this new platform is not quite compatible for DP Dos version and we need to upgrade to a different database. Although I'm sure no program can ever be as superb as DP, I would appreciate any suggestion of a more up-to-date user friendly, simple and great program to replace DP. I hereby would officially like to thank Lew Bastian, DP's author, and the crew, for this amazing program I purchased in 1990 and became addicted to. Any plans of coming out with a Window's version? I would pay any amount for it.
