Instead of checking for a username, mark the UserName field in the table as
being UNIQUE. This will cause the DB to error out of a transaction that
attempts to insert the same UserName into the table multiple times. Then
catch that.

For dragging, I'd go with "handles" on the left side of the datagrid that
have hand icon when you hover over them. They've become pretty ubiquitous on
webpages. For an example of what I mean:

That amount of data is ridiculously small. If you don't care about many
thousands of concurrent connections and having to transform the data set
periodically over time, then SQLite3 is probably the easiest to use, but
really, for that tiny amount of data, *any* database application will work.
I've
Lookup the "convert" function... dateAndTime and look at the format
"dateItems". That probably has what you care about.

Todd,
CouchDB (or Mongo, Riak, and other NoSQL alternatives) are excellent
databases in the right situation. I haven't used on with LC, but have used
CouchDB plenty. Their main benefits lie in A) no schema and B) replication.
If you have no need of either, then it might be more work to get working
With regard to this library, I'd be very interested, but I'd be mostly
interested in it as a method of authentication for other applications and
not for Tweeting, wall posting, etc. Is that something you are planning on
supporting or not really?
Jeff M.
I'd like to somehow set the working directory that I launch an application
from. Anyone know how I can do that?
Thanks!

I think it would depend on what you consider to be "large". Also keep in
mind that the number of images (and the size of your stack) will directly
impact any potential sales since AT&T limits 3G app downloads to 20 MB.

Calvin,
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much less debugging you'll be
spending in LC vs. VB (or C# or other compiled languages).
Most debugging (in VB, ...) is based around inspecting variables and
objects, because those things are only available to you while the program is

Don't let the vent thread scare you. Some here have been using LC for quite
a while, and usually it's the little things that make you want to vent. The
