Disk Drive Repair, Inc. 8220 S.W. Nimbus, Beaverton, OR 97005 (503) 626-7104 Msg 44024 is 09 line(s) on 10/09/90 from BILL COLEMAN to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/FOXPRO VS PARADOX Thanks for the tirade! What I really want is a program generator. I don't mind doing some coding and tweaking, but I have NO library of canned routines, don't have the time or inclination to hand-code data entry screens, validation tests, output formats, etc etc etc. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have a straightforward two-file problem (a donor tracking system) but there a lots of details and features to include. In a nutshell, I want something E-A-S-Y. No dup. chars. >Function:?
