Hi,
I must first say that after working with IB6 beta I am very pleasantly
surprised about how good it is. I was on the Kinobi stuff but I may not have
loaded the last CD I got cause I feared the end of IB but if this is what I
missed then I certainly missed something.
Suggestion:
I've always found it pleasant with IB to have BOOLEAN recognition of Y/N F/T
True/False etc - could we also include -1/0?
I don't understand why but the html interface with ASP and the native way M$
declares booleans is by -1/0 as True/False. If we could extend this
recognition it would make life a lot easier when writing Delphi etc
interfaces to a DB used for both purposes.
