<< Even got desparate enough to try running access inside wine (hehehehe dribble dribble froth froth)>> Watch it, you may be in violation of your license agreement. Recently a big brew ha ha had erupted over the fact that VFP developers were starting to run VFP apps under Linux. Microsoft quickly squashed it. Went as far as to get a speaker to cancel their talk. I think if you read your agreement, you'll find that your only allowed to run Access on Windows OS's. Jim Dettman President, Online Computer Services of WNY, Inc.

I'll be using a Linux housed, KDE based/mySQL BE to do this work as soon as there is an equivalent IDE to Access. I've tried Eclipse and Eiffel but dang it I just cant get the hang of theese new fangled lenguages! Looking at mono - not sure if its the best or worst of both worlds. Even got desparate enough to try running access inside wine (hehehehe dribble dribble froth froth) What!? The old saw is cutting wood just fine? Sharpen it now and then, and it'll be good for years, you say? <snip> Which brings us back to a fundamental choice: keep trudging on the Microsoft treadmill, or get off. Both options have their plusses and drawbacks. But at least Open Source will never force you to abandon software you like. -Ken _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
