Thanks for the info. Knowing that, I was able to create a simple app in
the Dabo Designer that contains a Notebook.
But, I'm having a heck of a time finding any documentation at all on
Dabo. I looked all thru the website(s), and have combed the Dabo
software package itself.
Either I'm doing something wrong, or documentation is pretty sparse for
Dabo.
What little info I could find on the Dabo Wiki seems pretty old. I also
watched the two Sizer videos, but there's not enough info there to learn
much.
I read somewhere that they are concentrating on the User Interface
designer instead of the database aspects. The GUI maker is what I'm
interested in using, not the rest. I don't want to code the GUI
manually. Do you know where I can find more information on the
Designer?
Thanks,
Bill
