 ..Well... NOT ME, for that matter... I'm just learning Delphi coming
 from Clipper and it's hell to pay! I'm affraid I learned more curses
 than Delphi...
 At the moment I'm unable to open a database in a form. The most
 fantastic error-messages are polluting my screen: 'no circular
 relations allowed', 'can't acces datasource' and more...
 Furthermore I'm getting pretty homesick for the simple, adequate,
 nice, gorgeous:
     USE databaseName INDEX indexName NEW
 to open a file in Clipper...
 And open it for the duration of your COMPLETE application!!!
 I hate it in Delphi that I have to go through that complete circus of
 properties everytime I create a new form...
 But then I'm a bit spoiled with such a powerfull language. I HAVE to
 go to Delphi, but I beginning to dislike it more and more...
 And Powerfull?
 Does a simple Date1 - Date2 give me the number of days between those
 two dates? Can I make an index on MyFunc() for some database?
 No way!
 Those dates first got to be 'decompiled' and MyFunc got to be in a
 calculated field. I think Delphi isn't that powerfull at all.
 But then again: I'm a mere beginner, so I might overlook some
 features. But my learning isn't exactly easy coming from Clipper...

 Ron
