Hello All,
Sorry that I did not respond too much in recent weeks, as you all have, I am
also rather busy here.

However, I did want to let you know that two weeks ago, I did download and
spend 3-4 hours playing with and reviewing the application that including at
that time the navigation feature.  The version that I got from Source
control did load Gustav's navigator, and it looked good.  The nodes were
still from Gustav's original project, but for my own enjoyment, I did wire
one of the nodes to the categories form and it appeared to work very well.
 I noticed that it prevented me from loading multiple instances of the same
form, which I took to be a good thing.

What I did not see, and currently assume that there is not an easy way to do
it, is to use the navigator like the MS Access SwitchBoard manager.  This
would be a real addition to this utility, but I guess at that point we would
look at all options, including purchasing an add-in.

Regarding the reports, I just got them working today from VS2008, I
currently cannot get them to run in Vista Ultimate, as a website, but that
is most likely an environmental issue on my machine, however, I have already
spent 2-3 hours on that  today, IIS7 looks quite different to IIS6.

What I do want to say is that the reports look really great, and I am quite
excited to see how easily I can create similar reports myself.

Shamil / Gustav, do I need to go anything for you for this project at this
point ?

I wish I could offer to more, but my terrible slowness with the .Net
Environment kills me. I would love to participate at some level of hte unit
tests, but I would need someone to help me to get started if I was to be of
any use to you or me.

Thanks

Mark
