Hi guys Sri abt the absence on the list, my computer business is having one heck of a final kick this month and I have been 7 X 12 for the last 3 weeks.
I can tell you that you will know when a beta test phase is imminent (and its not). While there is a lot from the Updater that was snagged from the beta, you could tell how slowly I turned the Updater around so its obvious I am one incredibly slow programmer. What I thought would take 1-2 weeks took 2 months (for stealing time away from my business). Thats a factor of four in case you missed my estimation talent. I should not have put a deadline before and I won't make the mistake again. I will take the suggestion of the gentlemen who ruffled my feathers a few months ago, however, and publish some pictures of the user interface for comment. There are 3 different philosophies on how the UI can look. One is to merely break out the current scheme which limits the information 'panes' to residing within the overall program window. So, total floatable windows on the desktop. Second is to make it look similar to, say, DM780 from Ham Radio Deluxe's package where its one big window but the panes are collapse-able and pin-able and usage of tabs for large displays. Additionally, this approach lets you re-arrange the one big window to see which panes you like in which side/corner of the window. The third is a task/menu approach similar to the latest Microsoft Office. No 'ribbon' but the tabbed menu approach. I have been doing a lot of work with Access 2010 and can tell you I really like the way it looks and feels. Its hard to visualize these (its hard to describe them) so a few pictures will help to judge your reactions. So, no new dates but hopefully a bit more transparency into my progress. 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 645 5394 2010/12/20 Carl Jón Denbow <[email protected]> > Wayne, > > Did you ever get an answer to this question?
