I remember, there was a request for guidance for Point of Sale kind of application and in this issue Tom has tackled that very skillfully. I believe this should definitely of great help to put some ideas into any custom needs of such system.

Tom did not address to printing yet but he mentioned about merge printing and as I understood, Sesame did not support merge printing of SubForms, well, not until the ver 1.0.1.  Is there something new addressing to this printing issue in version 1.0.2?

Thanks for the tip of "point of sale" Bharat. I just signed up for the newsletter.

You guys are great!

LOL That means that they sold at least 2 subscriptions today!. 

I guess anything to do with invoicing must be pretty popular. (Hint, Hint for the suggestions thread)

A quick glance at the March pdf revealed a reference that says "Requires Sesame 1.0.2"  So...is there a new release? If so, for reference, do you need to install 1.0.1 then 1.0.2, or can one go straght from 1.0 to 1.0.2?

Tom,
Yes, I read that and I am looking forward to next issue to see how did you merge the SubForm elements. I thought it is very complex if not impossible with versions so far.  You also mentioned that the application requires ver 1.0.2. So, putting two together, I guessed that there is something in version 1.0.2 to make this simpler.  Am I right?  Do you want to give a hint as to how did you merge subform elements or we will have to wait for another long month to know that?

GJK,

I agree with you to the extent that Sesame development team should do whatever necesary to give it competitive edge in the market place. I felt that was not being done when I read that the calendar that Sesame  Team made for Q&A 5 is also good for Sesame and one can buy that to use with Sesame.  I thought the product would have been better in the competitive market if this would have been included with the product. But then I thought that we should support Lantica in whatever way we can and a few dollars here and there is not going to hurt us that much.

But I think companies should take a hint from the most successful company of the century and that happens to be in the same field namely software, who else but Microsoft?  It practically swept the market by incorporating whatever they could get into their products while others tried to sweep nickles and dimes. I hope this will be taken in the right spirit and not misconstrued as criticism. This is the matter of the philosophy of the company in general.

.

I referred here to the Calendar that Lanticans made and it is good for Sesame.  I am not speaking of the software utilities that Marble Publication is selling. However, if Lantica does not include such module into the Sesame in the future because some other principals of Lantica came out with the utility and it might hurt them, this kind of thinking is likely impede the growth of Sesame in the market place. I am not implying that Lantica is following such policy but I am raising the flag as to such policy could only hurt Sesame.

Please let us get on the same page. Nobody wants to see Sesame grow and flourish as do the Users of Sesame and Q&A users. This feedback is meant to help in the long run.  It might hurt someone's feeling initially but we would not bother to take our time to write this if we do not have the best interest of Sesame at heart.
