Looking for a Word Perfect like "line draw" editor for Dbase. I would like to find a program that uses a mouse or other thpye of input device that allows you to draw boxes etc and then converts this information into @x,y say chr(aaa) commands of dbase. This must be done in left to right, top to bottom manner so it can be outed directly to a printer. The whole purpose of this is for creating standard 8.5*11 inch landscape forms. Dbase's included paint type program is not good enough, it seems it maintains the data at the required locations but can't print the lines to the printer. Help Brian quandt@csd4.milw.wisc.edu

I have two questions I hope someone can answer. 1) Is there a way to duplicate records while editing in dbase or foxbase? 2) Is there a way to print multiple copies of a database (for normal print or labels)? Any help is appreciated. -- -- Jim Marocchi -- Motorola, Inc., Cellular Infrastructure Division -- 1501 W.

In foxbase it should be simple. Go to the record you want to copy, and issue ths following commands scatter to <memvar array> append blank gather from <memvar array> viola! a duplicate record in every respect (and a copy in memory too for that matter). Of course, I *presume* you're talking about editing a record in the programming sense, not from the dot prompt. >2) Is there a way to print multiple copies of a database (for normal print > or labels)? If you wrote a short program to @ x,y say's at the right place, and set device to printer you should be able to get the effect you're looking for. >Any help is appreciated.
