Re: DBU question

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm...

OK, I'm a DBU fan, BUT, I'ld recommend NOT using DBU for this because of
the fat finger damage potential...especially if you're dealing with
general users...  You're MUCH safer to write a front end RPG with internal
SQL calls to do this...(which is what DBU uses, btw...:)
