Re: Notes front-end to 400 file

Richard,

I was hoping that nothing would be stored in Notes.  If the keys are
stored in the Notes DB, would I have to figure out some way to load
the existing records? I am finding a lot of neat things in Notes that
can be done, but I am also finding things that I can't do that I take
for granted in RPG IV.

What do you mean by "DECS isn't that fast"?  What I am trying to do
will a one record at a time thing. It will be for the maintenance of our
Item Master file.

Thanks,
   Scott
