Re: Graphical GUI tool FREE!

Yes, ROM is free, but it doesn't support version 5.x. Platinum's Desktop DBA does (with a few glitches, such as only allowing one v5 database at a time). It also seems to have more functionality than ROM. I guess you get what you pay for. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Herb Blacker Cimarron, Inc.
