Your constructive replies on the forum have helped many developers out there, me included. I was interested in your comment about not seeing a system or website you wouldn't like to do in Apex. I recently joined a new company and have been trying to "persuade" them of the joys of Apex. We have a really archaic meetings system in Forms/Reports6i. I can very easily replace all of the reference and set-up screens to be much more functional in Apex. However, the one screen (and general type of creen) I have trouble replicating is the main transaction screen that Clerks enter hugs amounts of data into. All heads down, hammering at the keypad stuff - no mouse required. I do find it tricky to know if Apex can realistically replicate the requirements for that kind of screen. I'd be interested to know your thoughts. Cheers, Jon. Congratulations John. Your constructive replies on the forum have helped many developers out there, me included.
