It's not a commercial venture - was something for me and whoever else would
like a copy.
The import/export function is a good idea. I can easily make it export (and
import) comma or tab delineated fields as pure ASCII text. VB can work with
a wide variety of database formats - DBASE, PARADOX, ACCESS (of course),
SQL, etc. If need be, I can open any data file in binary mode and read each
byte - even if I interpret what's there.
Anyways, bedtime here!
