I am at the moment learning 4th Dimension to write the beginning of 
a stock control database. A lot of it can be done through the use
of the point and click type commands but I also envisage a lot of
programming to get the final product. 

I am working by myself so I would be interested to know how many
other people are working out there with 4D and if this newsgroup is
the best place to post questions and comments?

I have one question which is bugging me already. How comes my UK version
of the software insists on using an American date format. Is this a
regular gripe or am I just being pedantic? Somehow I feel that a UK
version ought to have UK date formats or maybe I am just being rather
old fashioned! :-)

Ian
