Hi,

I've a couple of questions regarding dBase:

1. Does anyone know how to get dBase to read data from a barcode reader ?
  Any info about getting dBase to read data from something other than the
  keyboard & disk would be relevant.

2.  I'm looking for a "query generator" for dBase.
  By "query generator" I mean something that will enable the user to access
  dBase's relational & logic operators, WITHOUT having to use dBase's syntax
  directly.
  This is needed for a (compiled) application, for a user with no knowledge
  of dBase. It would be nice if the user would be presented with a set of names,
  corresponding to (but NOT identical to) filenames & fieldnames.
  I would like to know if something like this exists - either as a commercial
  product, or something that someone has developed for his/her own project.


 Please email, if there's enough interest, I'll post a summary.

Thanks,
        Rony Shapiro
