Newbie to Valentina

[Michael Krugman]

Hi Rusian:

It does not say that in either of the docs that RBDB and Valentina are 
the same...it does say in the REAL documentation that a front end 
written in RB works seamlessly with Valentina without changing any RB 
code...it doesn't!  The browser I mean is in the Valentina application. 
  It shows that the records were created by count, but  all of the 
fields are blank in the browser window.  I do not use binding.  I'll 
look at those examples and thank you for your help!
