Acius Folks,

Being an avid MAC nut - and db person from way back (unix rdbms/sql)

I notice here the big need is for low end - db ignorant users who
want to create their own reports. Your quick reports is great
but 1) I think you should be including a plug of it (quick reports)
as being a 4GL - (it looks a lot like mega buck high end stuff which
touts itself as a 4GL) -
also, the small window on the left where users can choose a field
from various relations which must be paged through - could you
make this list one large scrollable list of fields from ALL
relations? - they don't need to know what relation it belongs to
as long as the proper links are set up right...
(hope this makes sense)
