Hi Cindy thanks,
But I think Visual FoxPro is an additional package that I could only run on
one (my) PC.
For budget reason's I can't use it on the PC of a collegues or of customers.
So I 'm looking for a solution within the MS Office Professional suite.

I can use everywhere DbaseIV because since 10 years I and all the customers
have dbaseIV
since the early times of MS-DOS 5.0.
