Jerry, Thank you. It is more of an issue the software has reached its end of life about five years ago when the developer stopped supporting it. I needed to investigate an alternative but never been able to do it and procrastinated. The push to have this done sooner than later came about because of some personal issues I am going to be facing and some serious financial situations requiring me to analyze necessity of every expense. Trust me it is hard decisions I am having to make which I hoped I would never have had to face but in the end will make me a better person and it also could be a whole lot worse. It appears talking to Bjorn today a couple people set up a new mailing list. If that works for everyone and transition is smooth, we can turn this off and transition to it and would need to update the website to reflect changes. fyi - The online forum had another database issue which has been resolved. The timing was horrible with my announcement for the mailing list. Thank you again - Geoff _________________________________ Geoff Martin - [email protected] On Jan 25, 2010, at 8:58 AM, Jerry Shelton wrote: > Geoff, > This is Jerry Shelton from HALFTX in Houston again.
