folks,
just a suggestion:
if you read this or other lists on a regular basis you know that there is a
lot of really good code that flows thru here on a daily basis. you can
really help yourselves if you grab the good stuff that is posted over time &
archive it somewhere for later use. stuff that you may not find useful at
the immediate time, but that quite likely will be in your future as a Lingo
programmer.
I, for one, grab snippets, complete postings and ideas from the lists I
subscribe to all the time. then I throw them in a text file with an
appropriate name in a folder called "Director Hints & Tips." I've been doing
this for years & I have a LOT of archived stuff. then, when I need something
that I haven't done before, I look there FIRST for ideas. I mean hey, why
reinvent the wheel. then I try writing it myself. if I have a problem, I
look in the list archives, if it has one, to see if someone else has had the
problem & solved it. if I can't find anything THEN, and only THEN, I post a
question.
it has saved my butt many times.

YEAH, RIGHT
