I need something equivalent to Microsoft Access. I've checked most of what is available for Linux and OSX, and none of it works for me. This includes OpenOffice/LibreOffice Base. I understand that Rekall was going to be included in the KOffice suite, but all the messages on the KDE site are from 2003. There's nothing later. Suggestions anyone? Oh, and if I can get source, that would be best. Wayne madhatter.ca

You know I go on about it, but you might take a look at OpenQM. It'll take a bit of getting used to, but I hope you'll enjoy using it. www.openqm.com/cgi/lbscgi.exe?X=bi97k2loqe&t0=h&t1=personalThing is, Pick is very easy for non-programmers to use, and of course you know I'll help you to the best of my ability :-) But one of the reasons professional computer people are so snooty about Pick is a lot of the code is pretty awful - because the guys who wrote it were *users*, not programmers! It does pay to have programming knowledge and do things properly, though. (Oh, and a lot of the code is available as ScarletDME, although that's an outdated version of the OpenQM codebase.) Cheers, Wol

Yeah, you did mention this before, and I, like usual got sidetracked Wayne madhatter.ca

If you look at it, there's a couple of places that would be good for support. Email me of course (can you get my email off my profile here? Or if you know my real name, it's firstname at lastname dot org dot uk - I don't like posting it "in the clear" on websites for obvious reasons :-)
And there's a generic multi-value group on google "mvdbms@googlegroups.com" that I'm on and I think there'd be plenty of people happy to help you get started.
Cheers, Wol

I'm sure my Pick knowledge is still lurking in my brain, plus I've got my crib-book for a native Pick system definitely handy for brushing up...I'll have to look at openqm - there's things I could do with Pick I've never been able to do with other systems (or to put it more accurately would require so much more programming effort on my behalf, not least starting with having to do a bit of systems programming).
