I have had to type in my greeting and signature manually. Since I am a database application programmer, I have been sympathetic to the challenges faced by RL in totally remaking the UI while attempting to retain compatibility. However, I am now convinced they have one, or more, serious flaws in their methodology, program object structure and/or methods of testing programming changes. One of the things I have learned is that it is quite often much better to start from scratch that to keep putting Band-Aids on the wounds of old code. When the functionality of an object gets broken by revisions to another object there is something fundamentally wrong with the programming model being implemented. The guys at RL seem to be beating their heads against the wall for little or no rewards. Maybe it is time to look critically at what is happening and establish a new model for programming the new The Bat! As my signature shows, I have found no version later that 3.0.2.10 to be stable enough for the work I do on a daily basis. Most of this version 3 stuff reminds me of using POCO. I simply cannot afford it. I have all my customers using 2.12 until something better that the performance and stability of 3.0.2.10 becomes available. Customers with very simple needs or those challenged by using computers generally are using FoxMail 5 simply because it is possible to teach them to be successful without making the training a lifelong process. I still feel for the guys at RL. Hopefully, they can examine their current methodology to find why it isn't achieving the desired results and have the courage to make the necessary changes. -- Take Care, Paul The Bat! v.3.0.2.10 on Win2k SP4 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.51.3 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
