Re: Kicking around an idea

Hey thanks for the tip on OObase-I forgot about that module. Will give it a
go on version 5. And all IQS is ported for windows only...but it ran like a
charm with crossover. I'm in the process of getting connected to the net at
my new place but I'll keep you posted with my project. Another lesser
project for the State I've been doing is revamping our training courses
using Open Office on my Ubuntu laptop to do Power Point presentations
(Presentation) just another success story I can use to help sell Open Source
alternatives to my FMO and eventually upper management. Take care, Bob.
