Blob images were first develped back in around 1993 and I was able to use them first in the DOS environment under the developmental platform Paradox for DOS back in 1993.

Look- I'm not going to perpetuate this SQL vs. Jet 4 anymore with you. We simply need to agree to disagree.

>>> I will not argue with you about how you treat a patient, but you intend to argue with me ad infinitum about software design/development...something you do as a hobbyist and not professional.

Now I see why you are so aggressive and nasty in your postings- you are defensive of the fact that a physician can program to solve problems in his office instead of hiring someone like you. Rest assurred, I'm not trying to take your job nor am I trying to compete with whatever you do, which is why I'm not actively seeking Microsoft certification.

When discussing technology (like religion), you should state your reasons for doing things and avoid denegrating others with a different opinion. It only belittles you and your message.

>>> This holds great promise however, until it is actually released with that capability, I do not intend to embrace it. There are not enough hours in the day, for me to waste with technology that is not mature, no matter how promising!!! www.silverlight.net

Thank you- that's exactly how I feel about a lot of the newer technologies that are coming out from Microsoft on a yearly basis. I'm not alone- check out the MVP (MS "Most Valuable Professionals") letter in defense of maintenance of unmanaged VB6/VBA in parallel to managed VB.NET signed so far by 265 MVPs.

Programming is not just a "hobby" for me, as I use the very programs that I've developed on a day-in day-out basis as a tool to see my patients faster and more efficiently. SQL is not in the equation at thie time.

BTW, have you developed an EMR and/or a PMS?
