Realistically (for once <s>), it may be as long as another year before the features list is complete and thoroughly tested/documented. The product is designed to run a service bureau business, which is it's FPD history (which achieved that mission, just much "less so"). I do have a model such business in operation - still using the FPD version for production work - that I'm working to convert. To make ends meet (and I'm actually in emergency mode at the moment), I've prepared a lesser version of the product that just does databases for small businesses, and I'm testing it now with a small number of beta-site customers. Feedback is good, but small businesses tend to hold onto money with both hands, so dealing with them is like pulling teeth. They have a hard time understanding why they should be using databases instead of, say, Excel. Also, I'm just terrible at cold calls! I hate making them. My Achilles heal. How are you doing with Fabmate? Do you have a good-size customer base built? Bill > Michael J.
