![]() ![]() Since I grew up on DOS and using stuff like XTree and a few other applications, I'm quite used to full keyboard action, so it doesn't bother me (Am I sounding old yet?) Now, if you run MC in a Terminal emulator like Konsole, you get mouse action, but not in a very friendly manner. Trouble was, that terminal mouse program would mess up X11 mouse actions, sometimes making the cursor skip around constantly, or just stop completely. This allowed me to use a mouse with Midnight Commander. So I finally laid my invoicing program to rest-just in time too because I got tired of running a bloated Oracle database server on my machine just to run my program.īTW, no-one should be using or relying on MS-Access for anything but adhoc querying and certainly MS-Access should NOT be used over a network under any circumstances.Ī while back, I had something installed (It was default in SuSE < 8.1) that allowed mouse actions in a terminal enviroment (No X). But then I got tired of MS-Access and ported it over to Visual Basic and MS-SQL, then I ported it over to PLSQL, then I was going to port it over to Java and HSQL but then I didn't need it anymore because I didn't need to produce any more invoices. I once wrote an invoicing system for myself (because I was a contractor) back in 1998 in MS-Access because I didn't want to $buy$ Quicken for small business or whatever it was called. I'm assuming you either built the MS-Access application yourself or paid someone a couple hundred to build it for you? Do you rely on Access forms and reports and stuff like that? It's not too hard to port MS-Access applications over to other platforms.but if you rely on complicated forms and reports then it can be a lot of work. and codeweavers doesn't have support for msaccess l997 which is version I have. IF ONLY I had used lotus originally maybe all this would be non issue.although I guess I could try installing msacces i wine but im not sure id trust my data to it. mdb IN to linux but using it and accessing the data like I do now i've not gotten past :(sigh Msaccess.need it bad for my small business invoicing system.without it I cant move 100% to linux.Īnother one is PrintArtist that I use for making custom envelopes for our mailings and haven't really tried finding alternative for yet since msaccess is the 'first' hurdle.I can bring. ![]()
