Hello Fred,

Fine.

Be warned - it uses the special dialog form from my "newdialogs".

Interesting. But that doesn't occur here, although some problem might have
crept in because I didn't test it since last time I worked on it. And I
don't even see a place where a stream write might occur there, although it
does use (load) the "msestream" unit. (I even tested with ANY language file
access removed. Only english remains then, but the language dialog does
work without an error. For me, that is, having compiled with fpc 3.2.2.
and msegui 5.8.6.)

As I stated, the "catch" is that all dialogs using a sparate form window
can be freely located, the form manipulated (e.g. set to another font,
color scheme, even a full separate skin [probabely, not tested]) and this
information can be retrieved in the application and saved for later use.
(As a further enhancement, I thought about making storage of these data an
internal property of the dialog, but there are some issues when the dialog
form is only transient.)

> For your other database project, I will try it asap.

Be warned, it REQUIRES PostgreSQL, as that is the database system I (and
my tax calculation ["ERP"] system) use. I've not found a good manual for
sqlite yet, and although I do have a mysql manual, I don't have the
software... Oh yes, and even though I do have an ODBC - hm, what's the
right term for that? - "driver" installed, I wasn't able yet to correctly
set this up for access to anything. Perhaps that might be the best
candidate for the next version, as this promises to allow access to nearly
any (SQL) database system. But at first, I have to get it working.

> Many thanks.

I hope you can enjoy it anyway, or at least get it all to work correctly.
So, I wish you success, and have a good time!
