Hi Dr R>
I can't make the conference, I have to go to a CE seminar.
I was hoping you could just type the help messages in
RBase for each form and field then have RBase export
the help messages to some sort of Windows help
program. Then we wouldn't have to type things twice.
I always wished the field messages could be bigger,
maybe show the normal one line but if the user pressed
some key a box would be displayed with 4-6 lines of help.
This way the user would have expanded help for the field
they were on, instead of the full help manual and searching
for what they wanted. And my dream grew from there.
thanks
