Gotta move on to something else now - Internaut - Aug 15th, 2011
Directed more to Ben, than anyone else.
Hi Ben,
I've been working, tinkering, and learning with the program now for just over 2 weeks. I think I've viewed every program out there that reads data with nothing I could find that will read the data FT is used for to input/edit data.
Ft is an amazing tool. I've been through a lot of software since 1983 and this one ranks one of the best - better than a whole swack of M$ guys could come up with. And one can't argue the price
I very much like the ease of which to enter and edit data, the many various ways of managing it, but for my current project, I need for people to be able to view the data, not enter/edit it well. I don't want visitors searching the Dbase and able to edit it as well - that would be a no-no.
Sadly, I must move on and find something that will do what FT does, but also allows the public to search and view results of the contents, without editing or adding to it.
What I said in PM still stands. When you are ready, let me know.
Thanks again for making such a great product and so easy to use - it is brilliant!
I'll look for a subscribe to changes here and keep up to date. Will definately be back when one can let people search and review without access to edit/add.

Hi Internaut,
No worries, I totally understand! And I do plan on updating the API to allow for searching like you need, but speaking realistically I really must prioritize on other stuff right now - I know you understand. Sadly, there's never enough time in the day...
And thanks for the very kind words!
