Lines: 11 I'm working on a multi-user database application and we're currently running Helix. We want to do some fairly fancy stuff though, and Helix just doesn't have a programming capability that I need (I'm a refugee from the IBM compatible world, so I'm used to dBASE III programming features.) Any suggestions re what other systems are out there that support multi-user environments but are more sophisticated in their customization/programming features? (Is dBASE available on Mac yet and does it have similar features to its IBM PC version? dBASE IV on PCs is buggy--is the Mac version similarly plagued?) Harry Hardman Associates 519/741-0541
