Hi all, again. I have a couple questions which have been bothering me for some time now. First, it seems that for one of our lists, some digests sometimes are being truncated, for some people. For example, here's an example of a digest from this week which was truncated. ... 38. A simple Windows dialler... (3) 39. Publisher problem 40.

This is definite reinvention of the wheel. Presuming that the local side does not have major DBMS requirements, you can use the Excel ODBC or the WinWord. Either will let you pass SQL queries to your host application, both are fairly easy to use. If your needs are computational, you would be better served by Excel obviously. If formatted output is what you want, WinWord is the ticket. If you need strong database on the client side, use Access or Foxpro for Windows. Access if quick and dirty is what you want. Fox if you need the speed. You can use passthrough which will send your query to the host without modification if the host does not speak SQL. I have not done this myself but it is supposed to work. If using WinWord, pick up the Development Kit, a ~$30 book with disk which provides a front-end for ODBC in WordBasic. Getting your ODBC to work should be relatively trivial in any of these. Building the full front end for the user (if there is to be one) will take most of your time.

Checking the logs, the next line is a blank, and the following line starts with a '>'. Has anyone seen this before or know what might be causing this? Secondly, I have a list with the keyword * Prime= "MON-FRI: 08:00-15:00;SAT-SUN: -" and the LOCAL SYSVARS prime variable is the default 9:00-17:00. However, this list seems to ignore this PRIME value, and use the system one instead. I also tried coding * Prime= Yes in addition to the above line, but the list still goes out after 5PM. Any idears?
