Peter,
Clearly this is one of those people who are a legend in their own mind. The
poster has a problem, has come up with a solution and now wants us to tell
him how to implement the solution. (sounds pretty silly doesn't it.) A more
mature approach would be
1. Describe what business need or problem you have.
2. Describe what features an excellent solution would have.
3. Describe what limitations there might be.
4. What version, os etc.
5. Ask for suggestions and solutions to address the problem.
6. Use a real name. (This may not seem to matter, but db dude is cute at
the level of an 11 year old and not really a professional moniker; you would
probably get more respect using Joe and still avoid privacy issues.)
From his responses I am not sure it is worth responding.
Jim
