For the record, I had Chris do some database repair for me (fixing my own data entry mistakes). His service was very good and his charges were completely reasonable. I would never get service like that from a more mainstream software supplier. We worked by remote login, using Skype. Being on the other side of the world was no problem. I'm not surprised that he's busy. I'm very sympathetic with Darald - I've been in a similar situation with various software. Sometimes you read a manual and it's not at all intuitive - for instance: which password? for which login? In LSMB there are at least three. And usually there is a lot of "assumed knowledge". After which, being ignored or told to RTFM is insulting, although this list is far better than most in that respect. I keep meaning to write up my own experiences, but don't get around to it. I guess we should ALL do that, for the common good. Perhaps a section on the LSMB website for personal experiences, both good and bad?
