As Antonis already knows, I've offered space on my site for the database. My web publisher supports SQL and cgi programmed objects, the only trick is the get the DB written, or exported, into SQL. I've already converted it into 4th Dimension, but don't have, nor want to buy, the SQL module to enable it to run on my site as it is pretty pricey. Any other ideas, or persons who would like to do the programming?
