Don, Just because you have a workaround, does not mean that direct support by TNG should not be done in the future.
But there is 2 immediate problems I would see with this and one potential problem 1/ If we become dependent on this, how can we be sure that you are available to maintain it while Legacy and TNG move forward. How will the average user know that your tool is even available. 2/ You have a 3700 person file, I have a 125K person file and Richard Weber has over 400K person file. I suspect that those files could take exponentially longer to process. 3/ How does your tool handle different roles and the notes that might be attached to each role player? Please feel free to email me a copy of the tool, privately, of course. john. At 04:15 PM 3/26/2015, Don Quigley wrote: >John, > >I replied to a similar question a month or so ago.
