Hi,
I'm new to OO but have used Smartware's integrated
DB worksheet and WP system on an AT (40mB disc) 64kB RAM since 1988, and have
run a small business from it single handed doing my own accounts tax and NI
wages and tax reconciliations bookings and automatic invoices, and maintenance
records. Your software is paralysingly opaque by comparison and trying to do all
that with a 64Mb memory and 40Gb disc is not possible with Windows XP. Why not
stop reinventing the wheel and look at Smartware. They're still going and I'll
be contacting them shortly.
I know OO is free - but whilst the spreadsheet
works and the WP seems adequate both compare unfavourably with a 1986
product, they have no interrelating project language and the database is
impossible. You can't (as far as I can discern) even make an arithmetic
relationship between one field and another e.g. Cost = x and sales tax =X*0.1.
The example in your literature of a database is a telephone
directory.
I suppose you get what you pay for - but really.
Even a free one should be better or at least as good as 19 year old
technology. Thankfully the AT still runs but it won't go on for
ever!
Regards Carey
Saunders
