Hi Sami,
Nice to hear from you again, and thanks for the examples.
Your are right, since we stopped being able to edit the links in forms like we could in DOS one has had to be much more careful about avoiding unintended matching columns.
How did your experimentation go with NaturallySpeaking? I just started converting some of my apps to version 7. Once I adjust to the changes and understand the new options I am going to take a look at operating the apps by voice with NatSpeak 8. I have been able to speech implement most other applications I have encountered, including RBase 6.5++, so it will be interesting to see how it interfaces with RB7.
Thanks, Michael
