I wrote a program for my own use, and perhaps it is reasonable large, however most of that was over 20 years ago, and a group of us were fortunate that one of our Engineers took the time to try and teach us a little bit about how to use Dbase3, I guess I was quite interested and went considerably further with it than the others. However at the age of 70+ I guess the memory doesnt work as well as in the past and learning new things takes a bit longer than it used to. I will continue to work on it, but probably more on my own as I dont think the angst of asking questions is quite worth the results. Thanks for all the past help, it really has been appreciated.
