DataPerfect on 200LX

[Dave Britten]

Alright, played around with it some more last night, and found two snags:

1. Having a heck of a time figuring out how to create/use "data links" (i.e. foreign keys). Couldn't really make sense of it after spending an hour or so with the 2.3 manual, and "Mastering DataPerfect".

2. Seems like it's a big pain in the ass to modify database/panel structure if there's already data in it. I'll have to see if it's simple to get around this with dpimp/dpexp or something.

Not quite ready to give up on this yet, as it seems like DP is the best balance of relational functionality, and simplicity vs. other databases I've checked out on WinWorldPC. I do wish it had checkboxes and radio buttons like the HP Database, though. You probably have to do A1 fields for "checkboxes", and data-linked fields in lieu of radio buttons and categories.

Any additional tips/info welcome.
