Razzak, Not to be disrespectful, but we are working with what we have until 7.0 is ready. We have near time real problems with keeping the machinery going until we can go to the class, order the software upgrade, and then redo or convert the databases. It is nice that you have the 7.0 and can see all of these wonderful things but we can't unless you are going to release Beta copies until the release of 7.0.
I was eagerly looking for your reply because you are a wealth of information and guidance and I too have had the same question and jumped on your answer and was left cold. Please keep the 6.5 users in mind until we can get up to your level with the software that you have. Thanks, With all due respect to you for everything that you have done for Rbase, Phil Nolette www.ncsgrp.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of A.
