Ken, Thanks for the response...
KR> 1) Fields automatically support fonts, sizes, styles, colors, KR> inline images; bullets are a little tricky as a field does not KR> have paragraph-level indents, so if the bulleted text can wrap to KR> the left margin (although the bullet itself is indented), then KR> you're OK. What are my options if I need a more complete Rich Text editor with bullets, tables, indents etc? I don't need it right away but I don't want to run into brick walls in the future. I guess I could use a .dll, but then I sacrifice portability. KR> 3) You have a number of choices on data storage; you can use KR> internal card-based storage (basically one "card" per record in a KR> stack that holds all the cards; search across the cards for what KR> you want), or you can use a number of DBMSes (Valentina, KR> PostgreSQL, mySQL, etc.). As I say, what I need is a single-user flat-file data store for a low-cost consumer product - an embedded engine that will be 100% rock-solid, install seamlessly with the application and maintain itself with no user intervention. I don't need relational capability or concurrent access. MySQL and Postgres don't fit the bill, obviously. I haven't used Valentina, but as a full-featured RDBMS it would surely be too complex and unreliable. The built-in card-based storage would be simple and reliable, but I need to search a record-set of around 60,000 records on multiple keys so I can't imagine that it would do the job (or am I wrong about this?). Again, there are suitable .dlls such as Tsunami, but only at the cost of portability... Alternatively, Sleepycat and others release ASCI C sourcecode with their engines - is there some way of building this into Revolution? This would be the ideal solution, I think. I need to solve this if I'm going to go with Rev, so I'd be very grateful for any advice... ------------------ Geoff Caplan Vario Software Ltd (+44) 121-515 1154 _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
