Alex, Thanks for responding. I have looked into Valentina as well. I've tried getting it to work and can't. I've tried just doing a simple test to see if I can connect to a Valentina database, but the functions are failing. I'm thinking that Rev is not finding the external as it should be. Any hints there? Do you have any working examples? I've read in the docs that you can use the Rev built-in database functions or use the functions in the Valentina external, but I can't get either one to work. There's a file in the Revolution folder called Valentina Engine. Is this the external, or do I need to download something else?
There was an example I saw on using custom properties in a stack to store data. Actually, I think it used an external stack and created a card for each "record". It was interesting, and it might work. My problem is that we're developing software that comes in two versions: a stand-alone single-user and a multi-user network version. In the future we'd also like to have a web version. So there's a very good possibility that there will be multiple concurrent users of my software. This is the reason for checking into mySQL, but I'd like a solution that will work for all versions. I'd rather not have to use two different databases if possible. I know that Paradima Software is currently working on a client/server version of Valentina, but I can't even get the single-user version to work right. I'm probably just doing something wrong. Valentina's docs are a bit cryptic to me. If anyone has any working examples, I would greatly appreciate it.
