It sounds like we have a lot to look forward to. I have a fondness for databases, and full screen text based data entry apps, so INFORMATION and the forms management system sound particularly interesting to me. I've read through a bit of the FORMS users guide. I only found FORMS installed on the Rev 19 sample system so far, but haven't checked all the systems yet. I haven't tried to do anything with FORMS aside from listing existing forms. There weren't any. The only info I could find on INFORMATION was its product bulletin. Was it The Prisoner's title sequence where a voice kept repeating INFORMATION ... INFORMATION? For some reason that came to mind. I need to get around to watching that series. I've only seen a bit of the first episode. -- Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.Lassie.xyz http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX What's the definition of a legacy system?
