Thanks Ed. I'm right now installing Python. Once I learn some syntax I'll install Dabo and check it out. You see, I'm about to convince the software manager to adopt VFP for the next 10 years, right now I'm the only one programming in VFP in the company(combining SQLServer and Progress data), the rest do Progress. But I must start training for the next step, probably Dabo, time will tell. > -- Ed Leafe > -- http://leafe.com > -- http://dabodev.com > > > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
