Comments (it may just be that the UI is unclear to me)
1. Expressions, I can't for the life of me figure out how to define them in DbMgr.
2. Utilities and Options Tabs, I don't like the UI here, these are global settings and not related to files, why do they appear as tabs when you are dealing with files, fields and links. Shouldn't these be buttons at the bottom.
3. Buttons to the left feel to me like they are "Utilities" why are these not options on the Utilities screen as in 2 above?
4. I want to be able to look for a CFILES definition by actual file name.
5. The concept of a spread-sheet looking view for a file is great.
6. Changing a definition in DBMGR should give you an option to affect the file. Example: I want to insert a field in the file so I want to shift the data by x bytes. The program should allow you to execute the change on the data file so we don't have to write fix programs all the time.
7. A field browser would be great (i.e. QMAINT, QUPDATE), but build it in a spread sheet view that allows you to browse through records (we can talk about maintaining them).
8. How do I modify the directory to look in for CFILES? Currently I have to change my DABS.
This is it for now, will add some more things after some bathroom (I mean library time).
