I happened to use this tool when it was just released. I had several nightmares because it is a horrible tool. It has many many bugs that will never be fixed. The only possitive part of 4gl-for-windows is its debugger; this could act as an example for the NewEra debugger. My advise: stop using 4gl-for-windows and jump to NewEra for instance. -- +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Henk van der Geld CASA Volkshuisvesting BV Netherlands | | Phone : (31) 36 539 19 64 | | Fax : (31) 36 539 19 61 | | Email : development@casavhv.nl | +----------------------------------------------------------+
