Moneo:

I'm just helping out another person. This is my first go at actually working with a data base in QuickBASIC, so I had to learn how to pull in the data and select each data in record type of formatting. Then, I have to develope the different material, labor, etc. totals, and print the whole thing, data used and results, on the screen, and allo printout on one sheet. It's more of a learning thing, for me, 'cause I seem to do only one type of program, so, I never become an expert in any. It is a challenge and a fun thing to do.

Yes, I'm sure that there are hundreds of programs already out there, many free or shareware or low cost, that could do the trick. But, I have never found one that I could live with, without wanting to change things, so, I like to do my own, when I have the opportunity.

I know, I'm stubborn! That's 'cause my ancesters, back in the 1600's, came from Burgos, a northern Spain city, noted for its very "independent thinking" inhabitants!
