This has been a problem for some time - in the DBSYS program you have a field
on the 'Select table to xxx' dialog that is way too small. It is the 'Available
Databases' combo box. This points to the path of your local database folder.
There is a Select button next to it to pick this folder. No problem - it
all works just fine, but the problem is the width of the combo box is such
that I can NEVER see the last half of the path - so it is totally useless.
I have to use the Select button every time. But it is worse - I never know
which database I am currently in, so I have to use the Select button even
if I am connected - just to see where I am.

Perhaps if you made this form resizeable, then I could stretch it out so
I could see the path. Even easier - add a Hint to the combo box that shows
the full path. That would be bnetter than nothing.

I know I have the source code for the program, and I can fix it myself -
but when the next version comes out I will lose it all.

Thanks....

Kerry,

This is already logged as an enhancement request (Robert Kaplan requested it
a while ago), so I'll see what I can do.

You have the code. Fix it yourself! Why bother Tim?

Another change I made: ComboBox.sorted:= true for all comboBoxes. There is no
sense leaving them unsorted.
