I'm afraid I'm not a very good teacher :-) Also, the API for forms and connecting to databases is at the begining. Today I will release a new 0.83 version of PgAccess with a slightly modified interface for databases (queries). Also I will relase a database (in a dumped format) with a simple example ( phone book). How to display, search and add enteries. I Think that it will be ok than. > Now, if I read the instructions right, I should be able to go to > the toolbar, click on 'entry' and drag it to...? The "Form Design" > window? If so, that doesn't work :( No. First of all you should choose your tool. Let's say listbox. Than you go on canvas and make a rectangle as in Corel (point somewhere, press the button, drag to the end and release the mouse-button). The rectangle should appear when you release the mouse-button as a listbox. Please wait for this 0.83 version and for demo database ! I hope that it will come today in let's say 8 hours. -- Constantin Teodorescu FLEX Consulting Braila, ROMANIA
