Please tell me that this can already be done, but if not it should be immediately implemented Due to retirement I'm a few releases behind in doing actual work with VW and can't just now bothered to find my dongle, launch VW 2017 and check. I'm somewhat a database person myself, have created and used databases in my work since the early 1980's (starting with dBase II on CP/M) and have created quite complex applications and business systems with FileMaker Pro. in VW, I have encouraged the use of the database functionality to users when training, but the user interface would certainly win a prize in the category of most awkward and user-unfriendly UIs.
When I show the dialog "Link text to record" serious trainees leave the room and the humorous ones ask "Do I insert a CD now?"
At the moment I have a prospective new user possibly in need of training, a colleague of an existing training & custom development client of mine, and also a young friend who may start her own domestic interior design business. I would dearly like to persuade her to overspend (in comparison to Ketchup or whatever they call it), but she would faint if I showed how to tag furniture items etc. in a useful way with the VW I know. I've known it for quite a while: if my memory serves me right, I originally bought MiniCAD 3.15 on a 3.5" diskette in 1987 or thereabouts.
