Dag,

   A good Database program must be international:
          - Allowing the use of the comma (,) instead of the point,
            when typing numbers.
            eg: We write 12,5 for "twelve comma a halve"  (=12.5)
                We write 1.200 or 1200 for "thousand two hundred"
          - Allowing the use of different (definable) currencies.
            eg: The Belgian Frank doesn't go beyond the point (comma).
                So we haven't got any "halve a BF'" anymore.
            What about an option in the program which let you convert
            certain data. (Like currencies, weights, lengths...)
          - Easy access to accents.
            eg: Dutch, French and German are the national languages of Belgium.
                The Dutch word for Belgium is BELGIE but you have to put a
                trema on top of the E otherwise it would sound like BELGY
   In general:
          - Layout options like coverpage, ...
          - VIEW-PAGE option.
          - ...

            a small contribution, Stef
