	Sorry, I believe, I get it now. One can code the application, so it can add element during runtime in the form when it satisfy certain condition. Is that right?

This is something else though. The right-click thing is a new tool for when you working on your Forms in SDesigner.

	One of Sesame 3's flagship features is the new WYSIWYG report designer. I've worked with a lot of report designers and this is easiest, most truly WYSIWYG one I've ever seen. Right-click, select a field, and you get a column of data on your report. You also just right-click to sort, add subcalculations, change fonts, etc. Each time you make a change, the display updates to show you how your report will look. Best of all, Sesame 3 populates the report design with actual data from your records, so you get a realistic picture of how your report will come out. We got great feedback from our Alpha testers on this feature and we're sure it's going to make report creation much easier for all our users.

	Related to "create a database from a scanned document", how about something similar for "create a database from an HTML form" or from a PDF form? I'm not thinking that it would automatically create the "back end" for an HTML form, just a database. �People often go to websites that have an HTML form to request product information, tech support, buy or donate, etc., and think, "We could use a database like that and those are basically the fields we would need." Considering the variety of ways to create what appears to website visitors to be an "HTML form", it might be easier to have something that generates a PDF from the HTML page (e.g., doPDF or the virtual PDF printer Acrobat installs) and then use that as the source to generate the database.

	Sesame 3 provides a way to set calculated values like current date, current time, or @Number as initial values. This is something that we had in Q&A, but not in Sesame 2. In Sesame 3, we've gotten that back for you in a way that lets you set simple values, but also much more.

The cat's name is 'Paper' (one of two rescue cats - the other is named 'Toner'), and I liked that their silhouettes were so similar - Wood and Paper. Hope that satisfies the development gurus!

	After a multi-day tug-of-war between the requirements of 64 bit versus 32 bit software, I am pleased to say that Development has managed to make shared libraries (dll�s and so�s) available from SBasic. That makes a whole pile of external functionality available, including operating system functions like common dialogs, SDK functions, etc. This is an advanced capability, but it opens up a world of capabilities for your developer or for you.

	Quote: Sesame 3 � Breaking News Development just implemented an amazing new search feature. If you enter a filename or URL in a field, when you search that field using the Retrieve Spec, Sesame will search the contents of the specified file or URL to see if that record matches your search criteria. I saw a demo of this a few minutes ago and my mind just exploded with the possibilities! I don't understand -- let's say I put a hyperlink into a client record, the 'contact us' page of their website -- are you saying that Sesame will check to see if the contact information in the record itself matches the website page?

Not quite. If you put a hyperlink into a client record, the 'contact us' page of their website, searching for ..lantica.. in that field will return any record where the contents of the 'contact us' url entered on that record contain "lantica".
