The database manager which I do have installed seems to only let you create and modify the database. It does not make it so you can make applications for users. The tool will do for what I want to do for fun here at the house but it will not work for the application I want to develop for my wife or work. It still will be a good tool in developing the database but that is not what I am having trouble with the trouble comes in in creating the interface for other than my self.

It is open source in the AutoIt language, and uses Microsoft Access databases by default -- though almost any with an ADO API will work. http://EmpowermentZone.com/ddsetup.exe FYI -- A page with all my open source application is at http://testsite.blind-planet.com/node/17 and all my fruit basket programs are at http://testsite.blind-planet.com/node/28 Cheers, Jamal __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
