Knowing that, I was able to create a simple app in the Dabo Designer that contains a Notebook. But, I'm having a heck of a time finding any documentation at all on Dabo. I looked all thru the website(s), and have combed the Dabo software package itself. Either I'm doing something wrong, or documentation is pretty sparse for Dabo. What little info I could find on the Dabo Wiki seems pretty old. I also watched the two Sizer videos, but there's not enough info there to learn much. I read somewhere that they are concentrating on the User Interface designer instead of the database aspects. The GUI maker is what I'm interested in using, not the rest. I don't want to code the GUI manually. Do you know where I can find more information on the Designer? Thanks, Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
