good observation bel, .. since java and php are my most coded languages now, .. i get fouled up when i go to concatinate in php now.

Maybe Basic would be a good idea. Or maybe I should just use some kinda IDE.

Ugh no dude Basic is such as old language nobody wants it anymore.

[Belisarius]

PHP is really the new BASIC.

It's the populist's choice of a language, and easily accessible. Fills those roles that were filled by BASIC. Course it's 10 million times more useful as well.

Delphi is kind of a troublesome language, very unique in its structure. I wouldn't recommend it but if you want to take a stab at it it's not bad.

It's very gui based, you don't really have to know how to program to throw something together quickly. The last version I used was 4.

The "good" thing about it is it uses just about any data format. I used it in the past to migrate old DBase 3 database apps to becom Y2K compliant.

The junk thing about it was setting up the BDE Borland Database Engine. You had to put all your data files in a directory, give it a name to refer by, much like ODBC. Delphi basically had its own ODBC engine.

I can pull up some of my old code and help you if you need.
