Tim,

The code assistance is really useful. It is a great feature. (Setting the delay in the Options does not make any difference.)

I have some suggestions for mainly relating to Project tasks.

* The Project Manager allow us to right-click on a number of elements which allows the project source to be viewed and units to be added and removed. How about adding these tasks to the Project Toolbar? It is more obvious and somewhat hidden by having these tasks only accessible from the Project Manager.

* The Messages tab has buttons to "Copy selected messages to the clipboard" and "Save the messages to a file". How about adding another button to select all the messages?

* Showing matching parenthesis in the editor is really useful. Could you do something similar with matching 'begin' and 'end'?

* Is it possible for the DataSet component to have a read-only SQL property that shows the SELECT statement?

Thanks, and the delay will be fixed in the next build 13.

This was really a matter of screen real estate vs. the main menu/toolbar.  The main menu/toolbar doesn't have wrapping capabilities, so I had to keep the number of buttons to a minimum.

Can do.

Sure, it can be done.  It will have to go to the list of "nice to haves", however, as I'm trying very hard to wrap this thing up for a general release.

This I cannot do.  The purpose of the database API is to abstract away the source of the data and make it so that the developer doesn't need to care about the back-end data source (esp. with multi-developer teams), and showing SQL not only violates this, but is a major security hole where information leakage could possibly occur.
