Thank you for the info. I am investigating the url's etc now :D

I cannot help you too much at the moment with FB as I am VERY new to FB.
The changeover to FB I initially contemplated will be postponed for about
a month while I do some changes to the current Delphi code. Then I will
examine the conversion to FB.

Compiere *may* circumvent this need to convert. I will examine it and see.
