Opening Valentina v1.11 in Revolution

[David Vaughan]

Thanks Trevor.

I am happy enough to know that there is no fault of mine in the RevDB  
access not working. I had already been considering writing a wrapper  
around Valentina calls and I will certainly have a look at your  
libDatabase which appears more sophisticated (being product- 
impartial) than I had intended to build.

For testing I will stick to using the XCMD directly. As explained, I  
have already tried that successfully.

Ruslan, thanks for the information. I will old off new purchases  
while I test the claims of the existing ones :-)
It is enough that I have already bought two databases where I will  
need only one so three looks a trifle excessive :-D

regards
David
