JD,
Are you talking about Marks dragon or the edit-fields or both?
The edit-fields is working for me, but I know to make it east to adopt by
others it needs a professional layer of documentation (Mohammads Reveal
Gradually Macro sets a high standard).
The edit fields allows you define field types, then fields and how to edit
them such as dates etc... thus it is a tad more complex to document
effectively, just as my previous "initial release" plugin MyMenus was.
To me it is essential we can can add fields from a list of possible fields
to the edit-fields-list and then change the order, when editing fields,
this is what I need to complete before it deserves listing.
Regards
Tony
