Hi :) I thought Queries were in Sql but Base mostly allows you to build them up in a gui rather than having to learn the Sql that it gets translated into? I learned a little Sql but not enough to be useful so i prefer using the point&click type gui.
Also Base is a bit different form MS's version in that forms are best done in Writer and that makes it easier to format forms decently without having to learn a complicated and different gui. Access's forms seemed to switch the Alt and Ctrl keys around for thing like selecting fields and stuff. Quite possibly i have completely missed the point. I got confused by that 1st sentence. Is there soem attempt to reinvent the wheel rather than use Qt libraries (or whatever) for pop-up boxes and stuff?
