Did you give 2.3.0 a try? It has nicer OS blend-in graphics.<BR/><BR/>Then again, I often wonder how many people care about that anyway? Certainly in the data integration arena, much worse examples can be detected, hehe :-)<BR/><BR/>MattAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263548900215476529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15319370.post-1146778360101343972006-05-04T23:32:00.000+02:002006-05-04T23:32:00.000+02:00I've spent about 20 years in the DEC/Compaq/HP uni...I've spent about 20 years in the DEC/Compaq/HP universe working with first RSX and then VMS -- mostly ISAM files and interprocess communications. I also worked with Excel spreadsheets as far as I cared to go with them, and then wandered into Access, where I stayed contentedly until I discovered MySQL. In a lot of ways MySQL complements Access rather than replacing it totally. I find a tremendous amount of power and flexibility with a MySQL back end and either Access or Apache/PHP for an interface, although my years of command-line work in VMS make the MySQL command-line interface very natural for me.Bob Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334000093183225436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15319370.post-1146777414228482222006-05-04T23:16:00.000+02:002006-05-04T23:16:00.000+02:00Hi Bob,how nice to hear from you!

Within the constraints of my job and background as chemical engineer i'm just trying to learn and to use MySql, and I too found the forum to be an excellent tool to learn a lot from others and to share experiences and, why not, also some preliminary ideas.<BR/><BR/>As I value high the power of the forum as a learning tool, let me tell that i'm sincerely happy of you award. And I hope you enjoyed the trip to S.F., too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
