Anyway, I'm giving up trying to get the demos to work and seeing if I can figure out how to get *any* SQL command to execute in Valentina. This feels like skating on very thin ice. When the tools don't work as advertised, everything in programming becomes a crap shoot.
Dan,
Doing it in SQL is the better way anyway. What I needed to learn first in Valentina was the need to destroy cursers before creating a new one. Everything is done with an open curser in Valentina SQL. Now this is going back to early in 1999 when I spent a few days learning Valentina & SQL. I was searching for a fast parser when I discovered the TextCruncher Xtra for Director. I had spent a lot of time on their list talking with the inventor of Valentina about getting a fast parser added. Once I had found what I was looking for I created an example that worked in tandem with the Director example that comes with Valentina. This was the first PNLP example tested and created and it was used to parse XML in order to pull-parse the XML and selectively populate the Valentina database using an SQL curser. Once I had what I was looking for I didn't do much more with the database. There is still a link to the source code that can be read with a text editor or Director at their website.

Follow the PNLP link to the bottom where I still keep a link to the original example. MTML 3.0 will be out in the next few months. Because of Revolution it will be in the easiest to use format/GUI and the most powerful, feature rich, version yet. So much for Vapor-ware announcements ...
