--- Comment #18 from Henry Coulter <he...@gmail.com> ---
It seems this issue has fallen away. I am also evaluating what to use in
replacement of Access. I feel base has the potential to do this, but must have
the tools requested in previous comments to be at all attractive. For DB query
writing savvy users, the current Base is ok, but as mentioned, 95% of the
potential users would use Base over Access if they could build different types
of queries on the fly. I often build 10-15 queries to dig into data different
ways, then delete them after receiving my results. This work would be too
painful to do typing each query out longhand just for a few answers to
questions I have.

Is there any chance to make this function be available? I would like to help
coding it, but I am not a strong enough programmer.

Also, I would love to see a programing possibility similar to Access, but
better. I envision each form/object on the form etc. could be named. Then from
a single programing editor, all objects could be referenced by name for
action/property. Similar to Access, but move the "form" code out to a central
location. I believe it would be far easier to have no code "on the form" and
have it all in a central location (by module if user wanted to subdivide).
question.. what language?
