OT David,

but looked at your screenshots and like the look of your Active Visitor
application.  Guessing that you used a fancy component set to do all
the buttons and grids and stuff ... What set did you use?

And did you do the GUI like that from scratch or did you modernise an
older application.  Our main app is sound and well received by users
but it looks like it was written in the 1990's which it was - 1999 to
beat the Y2K problems - it would be great with a new GUI!

I am looking forward to

I can recommend the TMS components. Reasonably priced, support level acceptable but not up to Tim's standard

Do you need this feature ?  If you do, it's pretty simple for me to just get
rid of the check.

Tim,

I still have to figure out how I can implement the procedure stuff (that
I have done with DBISAM) with Elevate DB. Once I know this I really need
it for setting up an Elevate DB Cluster.

No problem, I'll remove the restriction and do some quick tests to make sure
everything still works okay.

As for the procedure stuff, ElevateDB 2.0 may have what you need in terms of
procedures and functions that reside at the Configuration database level
instead of in a specific database.   That will give you exactly what you had
with DBISAM procedures, except that they live in a DLL and don't have direct
access to the current session.

Sounds great.

Just for confirmation:
Will it be possible to move datamodules with application inteligence
into the DLLs and to access the results of operations within these like
memory or temporary tables via the server?

Not with in-memory or temporary tables - they are specific to the client
process (in-memory) and session (temporary)  and are created in a different
memory space.  For procedures that deal with data, it is best to use the
native SQL/PSM, which has the ability to deal directly with the data and
return result sets, etc.

Thank you.

I have a ton of components (screenshot here -
http://homepage.mac.com/dpuett/Desktop.jpg ) but I am paring them down to
TMS Components, Dev Express stuff, WPTools, and a few others.

Active Visitor I designed from scratch.  I've significantly tweaked the
interface for the new version and the version after that will use the
'Ribbon' interface.

The Active Server interface I rebuilt the interface around Dbsys and added
things I needed like backups ( backups my way ), database deployment,
version checking and updating.  That will be going over to the 'Ribbon'
interface as well.
