Thanks for your reply.
This is a spare time exercise for me so I don't get to spend a lot of
time on it. Hence the slow response.
I am trying to digest your comments.
I've tried it a couple different ways and it still does not work.
Do I understand correctly that the purpose of the form is for entering
the beginning and ending date variables?
I tried using the form designer to do the form.
How do I add an icon-image to the form?
Also where do you create the eep?
If the simple way is to write code, then my DOS experience should serve
me well.
However, I have used the application designer so far to do some
fundamental stuff - like creating a menu driven application that allows
me to enter data using forms and print reports.
I just haven't figured out how to integrate the custom code stuff.
Thanks, Bill

As for the question on RList you are about to be confused and/or very
happy. However the learning curve is fun.
1. Forget DOS days
2. Be happy it is 2009 and you have RList
To answer your question: Create a form, place an icon on it, write your
eep (print report ..... where ........) into that icon-image and run that
form. In simple terms.
I recommend reviewing the RList and a lot of Razzak's examples.
I plugged along for about 3 months and then went to RSchool OMG! Well
worth the time. It was then you find out what all the talk was about.
I had another RBase user help me (and still does) in the beginning
conversion from DOS thinking. The simple approach is you write code. It is
far much more powerful then the application designer (in my opinion & .02)
and you can make your code swim uphill so to speak.

Ps A plug in for Bernard Lis, Thank you for the continued support and
assistance with coding STILL to this DAY! And the jokes.
I was so confused at first. Yes Razzak, John, Bill..... - I know, I am
still confused.

I am a 1980's & 1990's user of RBase for Dos. Version 3.5.
Have been away from this for a number of years and would like to use
"R:Base 7.6 for Windows" for some simple databases.
I am getting along mostly with everything except the "application designer".
So I have a table with a date column.
I want to print a report "where" all records between a user entered
"begindate" and "enddate" are printed.
I used to use custom files in RBase for Dos for this.
How do I do it now?
Thanks,
Bill
