And how can I specify the folder, in which the file is saved? 2012/9/15 cogoman <cogo...@optimum.net>: > On 09/14/2012 03:53 PM, Stephen Dubovsky wrote: >> Python can make database calls.

Each new piece of wood plank is created every 2 or 3 seconds. We agreed that saving to a file will be done, when operator explicitly presses "save" button. So they are taking a risk that powerfailure will cause a loss of unsaved data. I just cannot figure out, how to create a reminder for operator to save data in case he/she is trying to close application with some unsaved numbers. Yes, saving to csv would be nice, but I think that I have a solution - put in the rows some special characters, like semicolon, and then use "text to columns" function in spreadsheet. What I am concerned about is the coding of the file - most likely they will import the file in excel on windows. -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
