And repeating the request over and over again on multiple lists just tends to annoy people. Another reason could be that your messages read very much like a first meeting with a prospective client. Once someone agrees that all this can be done, the next step might be contract negotiation or planning and the clock could start at any second. It just looks as if you're asking the folks on these lists to do the programming for you - something that most (if not all) of us get paid for. If you actually ARE looking for freelance or consulting help you might mention it somewhere. Otherwise, go ahead and start the project. Start by using the commands and ideas we discussed on Lingo-L. Try some of the methods in the articles I mentioned. Keep the Lingo Dictionary handy by your side (F1 is your friend). Don't forget to check the archives as yours is certainly not the first "image database" type of project - although it may be the first one to use the paste function. When you run into problems with a specific area then you can ask more specific questions and you stand a better chance of getting help here. These mailing lists are ideal places for us to help each other out when we run into a specific problem, but not for going through the planning & design stages of a complete project. When we ask a specific question about Director/Lingo, explain what we've already tried and what specifically isn't working, and supply the errant Lingo if applicable, then we provide enough information for others to fix the problem, find a work-around, or offer condolences :-(.
