[Ivan H. <iv...@w3...>]

First of all, this is a great software. None of the problems listed here=20
are really serious...

I have recently bought a Cli=E9 770C and installed DB 0.3.3. I could=20
successfully convert some older databases with the tools and load it on the=
=20
Cli=E9. So far so good. Some small questions/problems, though:

- If I go to the database design, I get only the first 5 fields. Although=20
(as a result of the conversion) all other fields are properly in the=20
database and displayed with the record, not having them in the database=20
design means that, for example, I cannot change their type.

- the display of the fields in the database design is also wrong. For a=20
field whose name is 'Tel', I get 'Tel:Te', but with half of the 'e' in the=
=20
last word being masked. If I want to change the name, it is a bit=20
disagreeable (although if I bring the keyboard view up, it is all right).

- (this is only a beauty issue, really:) in the database design, the list=20
view editor, the sort dialogue, etc, the small triangle on the left is=20
somehow misplaced downwards. This is a bit disagreeable in the list view=20
editor; it took a while to realize that I should NOT tap on the triangle=20
but on the space above it to get the pull down menu! No big deal, but...

- I can understand that sorting is not automatic, but it is a bit=20
disagreeable that the sort constraints are not stored with the database.=20
Whenever I insert a new record, not only do I have to ask for an explicit=20
sort, but I also have to tap all those fields again and again.

But all these are relatively minor points, I guess. I must thank you guys=20
for this great program!

P.S. Please, if you answer, add a cc to iv...@w3.... I am not yet on the=20
