Am I the only one who uses a computer from home ? :roll:

I presume most of the group members work in Offices?? with a computer with all the bells and whistles :shock:

And Yes it is Rocket science to some Folk like myself and I presume a few others in the Group:yikes:

Still don't work for me :?: oh well :wave:

We have broadband up here now, hopefully have it up and running by next week hope its worth it .

Bothyman,

I pretty much only use my computer at home... i'm just a bit of a geek.

Access if one of those things where you can do nearly everything with the wizard, I think the only code I entered was to calculate the sum of the weight and value... anyway.

Microsoft have a MS Access distribution that just contains the files for running a database and it's free. I'm going to try and include it later on today so people without MS Access can use it.

It's not a great big all singing, all dancing tool that'll change your life though so don't expect to be blown away if you use it :wink:

Adi Fiddler,

I have looked into the .exe route and I don't think i'm going to be able to make it that way... I can, as explained above sort out the distribution files once I get a little bandwidth (dialup here :cry: )

That should make it work for all but Mac and Linux but they deserve to be punished anyway :nana:

Oh Kath,

I think most of the comments were requests for things, not complaints...

It's a little frustrating because I would really like to write something that everyone can use but I'm not a developer, I'm simply not skilled enough to write something everyone can use :cry:

people are asking for HTML versions and I could quite easily but nobody could be able to run them without creating ODBC data sources and it would be quite complex for some people.

If anyone wants a few hundred servers administered and managed, i'm your man though! :rolmao:

Cheers Squidders

Not really into computers, its simple, if it works, it works, if it don't, it don't. :roll:

Just trying to point out that some of us can't see it and rather than sit mumbling about it I feel it is better to be open about it as I think there could be a few more members with the same problem. :naughty:

Look forward to seeing it hope it doesn't mean I have to buy more stuff to fill the List. :super:

Who's complaining I am just stating simple facts :nono:

OK, I am a Yorkshireman and tend to call a Spade, a Spade, sorry if the way I put it has upset anyone :sulk:

Many Thanks for the effort much appreciated something else to play with. :yikes:

For cross platform, Java would be the way to go. Or, as you said, do it all server side.

Or wrap the dbase in something like VB ...

Too many projects, not enough time!
