As a thread hijacker I always try to be courteous! :) PS: I've committed in my head to try to make a concerted effort to dig deeper into Xojo based on some of the feedback on this thread. But it's a challenge. I have an internal management tool that I wrote years ago to use in my computer repair shop I'd like to try to rebuild this next year on Xojo as my learning method. It's a relatively simple database with a straight-forward UI and well-defined rules. I find I learn better in the trenches using books as references as opposed to following prescribed mini-projects most learning to code books offer. We will see how it goes and how much time I can devote to this, but the encouragement I get from this group makes a big difference! Thank y'all for that!

Myself - I am RIGHT NOW looking at some FoxPro alternatives for this UCLA Job (mentioned in another thread) - and then just sent me an email this morning about looking at FoxPro alternatives. They have a list of them, including Alpha SW, Servoy, FoxInCloud & even the Westwind stuff (although I didn't think Westwind offered a full replacement). Was surprised they did NOT mention XoJo - and I may mention that to them. I will follow-up here shortly with a new thread about this - as I do NOT Want to HiJack this thread - which Paul already kinda Hijacked (although, not really - since he gave it a fully new Subject line). -K- On 2/24/2019 1:30 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Hi Paul, > >>> rather than debate the benefits of everyone’s favorite FoxPro replacement << > Dude, have you considered Lianja?
